well, i have one of those W116-D.

And they rock, somehow they are more peppy than the W123 with the same engine. Even if longer, heavier and wider. they also have the most impressive turning radius that i ever seen on a full size sedan.

They really have 2 major problems. The ACC (a legacy for the early agreement between Mercedes and Chrysler) transplanted directly from an early 70's Chrysler Imperial, SUX!!!

And are a little prone to rust. I you have one rust free good for you, but watch out...
