Welcome! 
It's great to have another SLC owner on here (look for Coolraoul, he owns a 380SLC if memory serves me right). The SLC is one of the most gorgeous Mercedes' of the late 1970s and early 1980s in my opinion - and today it is largely forgotten because everyone wants the R107 SL!
And a 500SLC is a very rare car too, especially in North America! You're indeed quite lucky!

450SLC, not 380SLC!
Yeah, I'm a powerful guy. No smallish V8 for me
. Big block powaaa!!"There's no replacement for displacement"...
I posted pics of mine right after Shaun's in the SL pics thread, funny to see a dark AMG and a yellow standard...

Not much difference between the '380 and '450 engines. The '380 had 218-horsepower and the '450 had 225-horsepower. The extra displacement should give you more torque though and make you a bit quicker.

I saw it. Very nice car. I love the SLC and you know that!
