Here is a link to a 5.0 SLC rally car sold in the U.S. I think it went to Canada where the owner tried several times to sell it on eBay. An authentic Mercedes 450SLC 5.0 Lightweight Competition Coupe!

Here are some fresh pics of BRUSER. You can see I repainted the grill, replaced the fog lights and just cleaned the car up over the winter. Since I took these shots I have also replaced the rubber with 225/50/16 Falken tires, and did a full service and inspection on the car. From what I seen this car is good to go with little maintenance required for many more years.

Bruser is a total badass.

I also spotted an SLC yesterday in the rain. They're so pimp and gorgeous!

Who's going to pay for the gas? Those SLC's have an appetite for fuel.

Tell me about it my milage so far this spring is 15.5L/100km and that is mostly highway. Good thing gas is cheap in Canada.

Splendid car! The AMG-treatment and dechroming suits it very very well!

I'll have to make pics of mine, don't really have time right now.

BTW I usually move mine (a regular M117 450, D-Jetronic) with 14.5l (really without restraining myself, but no excess), however in town it's more like 18l. For a 35 year old car with only 3 gears and a 225hp V8, it's not that bad I find!

Indeed.

Because of the effects of the oil crisis Mercedes even produced a 280SLC - it didn't help much, that thing still guzzled.
