 No, in 72 the "standard" motor was still the 1600 and the 2.0 was still an option. In 73 there ware no 1600s.

They may have let a few 1600 be built at the beginning of a model year to clear up stock in the plant, it still happens today!  We built a few 2004 Marauaders with 2003 engines (4 i think it was with the black valve covers, 2004 have silver ones) If it is a factory car, consider it rare if they say none were built!
