I agree the SLC does not have the handsome lines of the SL and the V8s from this era are lethargic by today's standards, they are more of a cruiser on the highway at 75-85mp/h and around town than a tire shredder. They are GT cars.
I have to admit that with a subtle AMG \ Lorinser front spoiler and the right wheels (period correct parts) they look great though. Finding AMG or Lorinser parts in this day and age for these early cars will be tough and I am not sure if you can still buy them from the factory. Worth a phonecall. Like so:
This is the most famous SLC, built at the AMG factory and extensively raced in the '70s.

Great cars non the less. I love old Benzes.
