73 Runabout

(1/1)

FLYNBRYAN:

Yesterday , I picked up a 73 runabout from the 2nd owner, nice car, I opened the hood a there was a 1600cc  engine. I thought they stoped putting those in 1972 modles? ??? ???

turbopinto72:
 No, in 72 the "standard" motor was still the 1600 and the 2.0 was still an option. In 73 there ware no 1600s.

FLYNBRYAN:
This car is all orignal, date of production was 01/73.

78pinto:
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!
