Perhaps it was a 450SLC?

Athough it looks similar to the 450SL Roadsters most people are familiar with, the Fixed Coupe 450SLC had quite a few changes including a 14" longer wheelbase. They were manufactured by Mercedes Benz to homologate the 450SLC for road rally purposes.

Unlike the 450SL, the 450SLC's hood and trunk lids were made from aluminum for significant weight savings. The cars also had front and rear spoilers from the factory that resulted in a 9 –10% reduction in wind resistance and a higher top speed. Top speed exceeded 142 mph. The 450SLC's motor was among the first aluminum V-8 motors produced by Mercedes-Benz.
