Re: [MBZ] How do you tell if an SLC is a 5.0?
Some of them did, because they were really just rich-guy luxury cars. For example, almost all of them have automatic climate control, power windows, etc. Jaime 5.0 #919 On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 10:50 PM, Hendrik Fay heni...@ozemail.com.auwrote: Don't think the 450SLC 5 liter came with a sunroof, what's the point of putting light weight parts into a car and whack a heavy sunroof on top?

Re: [MBZ] How do you tell if an SLC is a 5.0?
As someone pointed out earlier - they should have an aluminum hood and trunk lid. Transplant a Euro 5.0 Aluminum block engine instead of the early iron 4.5 (or a 603 turbo).

Euro seats and bumpers are nice. If it's like my '80 280SLC, it will also have manual climate controls and maybe even manual windows. Beware the rust under those chrome fender thingies, though!
