I don't know if the bumpers appears in 73 or 74, depends on manufacture date I think -- my 280SE had small ones, and I don't think MB ever put the big ones on, just dropped the model by the time they were required. Mine was manufactured in April, I think anything manufatured after August 1st

73 and 74 are pretty much identical, 72 and earlier have the small bumpers. Great cars, a good friend of mine had one when we were at IU. Sadly hers had a "kick me" sign on the back, her mother got rear-ended in in it just before Jan came to school, and she got rear ended twice after that,

Basically yes. The 74 had square tail lights instead of round (roundie) and ugly diving board bumpers. Pre 74 are more valuable but fine examples of any 1602, 2002, or 2002tii are starting to command big bucks as evidenced by this and other recent auctions. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 24,

Is the 1973 model the same body style as a 1974 2002? I had a neighbor years ago in the 90's who had a 1974 coupe, oxidized paint but very good condition. I wish I had bought that car when he moved "up" to a 1989 Accord. Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 23, 2017, at

Well, there's probably only six left in the US in driveable conditon, they suffered VERY badly from 70's german car rust disease, particularly in the rear suspension towers. Last on I saw was squatting in a lot, rear wheels at about a 30 degree angle, which is what happens when the spring
