I own a 1977 280SE, has owned it since 1994. Has not been on the road much, working on getting back on the road. I plan on putting on a new Bosch fuel pump and Meyle Fuel Filter tomorrow. I live in North Carolina, near Raleigh and Fayetteville, and I don't see any W116's 280SE's, 450's or 300SD's. There is a guy in my neighborhood with a W116 300SD. Other than that, I do not see these cars anymore. Whenever I do drive mine, it attracts a lot of attention because it is so rare. It is dark brown with tan MB Tex, I will be replacing that color with a navy blue like new interior that I stripped from a 1979 300SD from LKQ in Raleigh and painting the exterior a silver blue color, which should look pretty nice. I also have a nice black dash that is in new condition as well that I purchased from ebay some time ago. I have all of these interior parts up stairs in my attic. Can't wait to get started on that project!
