Are there any models/years I should look for or look out for? The only info I've heard is to avoid the earlier version of the automatic climate control and to of course check the front subframe. Anything else?

The very early SLs don't have automatic climate control, so that is a plus! With those, the 72/73 without cat converters are preferred.
The 74/75 D-jet SLs are probably not the best choice. Same for 380SLs, especially those with single row timing chain.
Other than the early D-Jets, a late 560SL might be a good choice or a grey market 280SL if fuel economy is important.
Maybe other have different opinions?
