    I have a 1974 350 SLC in Red with a four speed manual transmission! The first time I drove it I was absolutely blown away with the charm.
    Was imported to New England CT in the 70’s.

      @@KyleLiongCars ya I don’t get it! It can sit for two months but w a charged battery it starts right up! As soon as the idle comes down it drives super smooth. Just a lil play in the clutch. Then again it’s a 74

      That’s pretty amazing for a car of its age

    Back in 1971-72 when this was launched, It nearly costs $10,000, while a Jaguar E type Series 3 V12 was around $7500.
    Quite expensive in its day, now prices are still reasonable, unlike E types which has risen dramatically in value.
    Also that C107 is pristine ! The interior is stunning, probably one of the best C107s in the PH and they're quite rare here. Would love to see you review a Pagoda or even better a 190SL.

    Nice to see that old radio. Becker makes still makes something similar , but it now has a card reader. I guess it's for folks who want to keep their cars period correct while being able to play MP3s.

    Replace the steering shock absorber/damper if it hasn't been done- this is a cheap and easy job and will help tighten up the steering.

    1972 SL350 had 4,5L V8 engine.Mercedes changed it to SL450 in 1973,that represented displacement of the engine.Not in 1972

    No way it weights 2050 kg, rather 1600 kg or so.

    Love the Euro bumpers and headlamps (I'm in the U.S. so the SLC's are less attractive looking here). Too bad they are heavy and underpowered. Need to drop a 6.3L in it!

    In case the world runs out of fossil fuels, I wish these classics could be turned electric to at least stay alive
    Also if the ever-evolving road safety standards wouldn't prohibit them from being driven ahaha
