Ummmm...no.

Taillights are not the S class taillights. S class lights were much larger.

The horizontal trim above and below taillights indicate it's a second gen finback.

The 280 (M130) engine did not become available until 68. After the finbacks were dropped. S class dropped finback with intro of W108/W109 in 1966, middle class (slash 8) in 68 with intro of W114/W115.

Likely a lang version of a 200D or a 230. From what I can see of the trunk, it looks like it has a designator after the displacement, which makes it a likely diesel version.
