Well its always good to hear about another person enthusiastic about their new MB. Also owning a 450 SLC I'd say look for rust at the front wheel arches, leaks around the rear 1/4 window, and the boot. Now you should just enjoy it if the body's fine. The auto box and the iron block are pretty much unbreakable, to a point. I geuss you should start with the basics under the hood and see what happens. It'd be great to see some pics.
