Re: [MBZ] old mystery car
I have seen a 450SLC converted to manual to rally. It is owned by Joe Alexander and he was not happy because they bumped him into modified class because the 450's never came with manual, I seem to remember him saying that he pulled the gearbox out of a 350SLC. Plus there are lots of instances of Mercedes rallying SLC's and I don't think they where all auto or six cylinders.

Re: [MBZ] old mystery car
I think you will find the 350SL/C had a manual option. But I could be wrong. Hendrik - Original Message - From: "Kaleb C.

AFAIK they were all four-speeds, and of course, they are very very rare. Here's one: http://www.oursl.com/listing-forms/listings-det.php?op=showdet&aid=171# You could get a 140 with a stick, too.

Re: [MBZ] old mystery car
I seem to remember the 450's only came with autos due to the high torque.
