Question '75 300d

Well, looking around on Autotrader, I may have found a car for my girlfriend. It's a '75 300D (I'm guessing that's a W115 body?) automatic. I've been reading up mainly on the W123 and W126 bodies, but don't know much about these.

Is there anything specific to this bodystyle to look for? Is the bodystyle typicaly filled with vacuum-actuated power options a' la the W123/W126 cars? Essentially, what's the difference between the two?

The car's in San Diego and is selling for only $895, so I'm a bit wary...but it's in her price range...I can't find the ad again, but I think it said the interior needs help but the drivetrain's happy.

Thoughts? Thanks!
