Sl's forever....

My current SL is a 1972 450. My wife & I have had it for 5 years now and really love crusing in it. Every summer we go for 1 long cruise (800 to 1000 miles) and 2 or 3 short ones (300 to 500). Our Green Machine is a REAL gas hog, but WTH, if you gota worry about gas DO NOT drive a Benz LOL. We are looking to upgrade to what my research leads me to believe are the last great SL the 96,97 98. Tons of feartures, nice HP and REALLY well made.
