Hmm

Honestly I'd go for the SLC. God I love the 107 body, and a well cared for 4.5 will run for a VERY long time. I've heard stuff about the fuel injection systems, but other than that its a proven chassis that looks classy and is DIY friendly.

I am only 21, but I've been lusting for an SLC of the same vintage as my 300D for a weekend cruiser/fast highway eater, and to embarass a few ricers. Since they are older than 25 years old, no emissions (in RI at least) Which opens of the possibility of deleting the catalytic converters, and putting on a nice exhaust, and really opening up the power potential of the 4.5.
