I'm guessing that either /usr/local/bin isn't in the PATH when Emacs
is looking for sbcl.

Put (sbcl ("/usr/local/bin/sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix) there
instead: inferior-lisp-program is not used when
slime-lisp-implementations is provided.

I think you'll probably want (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) here.
