I think the Mercedes equivalent would be a 1983 280E...

I'm not sure if it was in 1983, but I've seen some US 280E's from 1978....
These 280E's are awesome and very fast for W123's... I even find the 300CD to be plenty fast for my needs..

They stopped importing them in '81 or '82. The emisions equipment just robbed power from the engine, Euro 280E's had 177hp and US had 142hp (Cali versions had 137hp). A Euro 280E can cruise at 200km/hr (124mph), but a US loaded down with more weight can't hit 110mph. I test drive a Cali 280E and let me tell you these cars aren't very fast. I kept thinking it was a diesel but the clatter at idle was strangly missing.
