I agree there's less interest in the /8 but I think it is a somewhat forgotten but unique car that makes it early enough to have chrome rings around everything but still have that understated German look. Ergonomically I like it more than the W123. It has much more visibility all the way around. The chassis is not as stiff but if it's not rusty in the pans, trunk and frame, it is a solid car all around. Cost is probably going to be slightly more since parts are still readily available but as aforementioned just more scarce at the junkyards. I can't imagine towing anything behind a car that already takes 25 seconds to hit 60mph but if you're in a more rural area where people aren't trying to run you down then that application would be just fine.
