I have seen several examples of this body style but with the different badging. I know this is due to each one having a different engine size. I love this body style and can't really afford the 6.3 so I will settle on one of the others. Which ones have the air suspension and which one has the better engine? Also are they all fuel injected? Any reccomendations would be great! I am going to do something one day.
Thanks guys!

There are actually a few different body styles that look similar, but are not. The cars with Air suspension are 109 models, while their brethern are 108's.
Later their was a W114 which is kind of like a 108, but shorter. My friend calls these Beriut taxi's.
Check out this website which has the models broken down nicely with photos.

To be honest, I think it's going to come down to what you can afford to buy.
There are people who swear by the sixes and people who swear by the eights. There are people who swear by the fuel injection, and others who love to tinker with the dual carburettors.
Some people love the beehive/bullet parking lights, some people love the round lights, and some people wouldn't be caught dead without the real fog lights.
Just buy the very best car you can, one on which most of the repairs have already been done, and you'll love it.
