Just purchased 1972 450 SLC, I can not find much on this model at all. It has 85,000 original miles and wish to give some TLC. What can anyone tell me about this model and pros/cons. Vin# is WDB107023-12-000397
Thank you

TSL,

I am sorry that I will probably not be able to give much info on your SLC, however, I have recently purchased a '75 450SL(R) and absolutely love it. I am however very interested in finding an SLC that is in as great a shape as this one. This car is all original and has 136k on the odometer. If your 72 SL(C) has only 65k the car must be nearly flawless (at least I hope it is. I love the body style and what I like about the SLC is that is has the extra wheel base length to provide for a factory rear seat. I have installed an optional rear seat in my SLR for my son to be able to ride in, but that is all that it is practical for (children and very small adults). I do not mean to pry, but were you able to pick this car up for a good price? Since the SLC's were not near as popular as the SLR I have thought that their market value should be much lower. An SLR in excellent condition should bring at least its original value or more. Unfortunately, for the investor, and fortunately for the buyer, the SLC have not been sought after in the same vain that its sibling. I wish you well with your car.

Keep it between the curvy lines...

WD40
