W114/115 coupe rarity
I’ve lived at my current home for a little over 2 years now and I’ve noticed a household down the road from me has a 114/115 coupe sitting in their driveway. At least I think it’s a 114/115…it looks just like my parents old 75 300D (R.I.P.) except it’s a coupe.
I’ve never seen a coupe in that body style before and I was just curious as to how rare the coupes are? Anyone know? This car hasn’t moved at all in the 2 years I’ve driven by it. It’s just sitting, rotting.

Depends on what you mean by "rare." According to my data sheet, there were 9388 250C's made for the US and 13151 280C's worldwide, most of which probably ended up in the US. That's not a lot of cars, and there does seem to be a disproportionate number for sale on eBay and TraderOnlline.

And rarity isn't as important as demand. They are very lovely cars.
In contrast, the 4 door ponton sedans (the 50s cars) with full sun roofs are very rare, rarer than the coupes. The coupes are far, far more valuable. -CTH

They are ubiquitous in California. The 250C is more desireable than the 280C because of that stupid quadrojet. Price for a nice 250C is $2000 to $3500. They are not collectors cars, however.
