As was mentioned, you want good winter tires. IMHO, you want 2
sandbags in the trunk too. Other than that, the 107 is as good as
any rwd car in snow. It will go anywhere until it floats on the belly pan.
I'd suggest looking for a 380SL of the later years with the double
row timing chain, unless the owner can prove they paid for a double
row chain conversion. It saves the hassle of pulling a valve cover
to find out if it has a single chain. Daughter's is a 1985. They are
a pain to get in and out of.

I'm pretty well convinced that people who have trouble driving in
the snow have never had snow tires or properly weighted their car
and are probably clueless...
The only time I've ever had real trouble was the second winter I had
my 240D when it had balding all season tires and it was a disaster.
Got snows put on and it was like it was glued to the road.

In what snow we get in OK - yes. I never had any problems driving my SLC in
snow - at least not any different from any other car i've owned.
My wife has expressed an interest in one too. Are they fairly driveable in
