Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 204 votes

 

THE CAR IS VISUALLY PLEASING AND MECHANICALLY PERFECT EXCEPT IT MAY NEED A STARTER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IT IS EASILY AN EVERYDAY DRIVER IF THE BUYER DESIRES AND HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN.

 

The SLC is a coupe version of the SL roadster. It was essentially the same except for the wheelbase. which was extended by 360 mm to accommodate the two rear seats. and the fixed steel roof with the slightly higher roofline that gave those in rear seat quite reasonable headroom. They were the essential differences. In all other respects the SLC was the same as the SL roadster. Power is delivered by a smooth and powerful fuel-injected 4. 5-litre single overhead camshaft V8. which boasts peak power of 147 kW and top torque of 345 Nm. There transmission is a three-speed floorshift auto. It wasn't as sporty as a manual gearbox would be. but the sporty 'Benz was set-up for the German autobahns where it could comfortably extend its very long legs. The longer wheelbase of the coupe gave it a more comfortable ride than its shorter wheelbase soft-top cousin. Like all Mercedes-Benz models the 450SLC comes with everything you could want in 1979. Air-con came standard. as did power steering. power windows. leather trim. and there is a sunroof.

The 450 SLC cost $29. 92 upon release; only 31. 39 vehicles were produced.

This car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 8. 5 seconds with a manual and 9. 3 seconds with an automatic. Its maximum speed is 133. 5 mph with a manual and 127 mph with an automatic
