Interchange between 1972 E9 and 1973 E3 ?

[John Buchtenkirch]

I’m sending my 73 Bavaria parts car to the shredder in the next coupe of weeks, it’s more Bondo & rust than steel. Does all the front suspension and engine cross member swap with my coupe ? How about the heater- AC assembly under the dash ? Anything else I should consider grabbing ? Thanks ~ John Buchtenkirch

Part Interchange

I don't know if you use this but Real OEM has a cross reference function to see what other models use the same parts - just type in the number. Maybe there is a way to do this in batches - but that's beyond me.

Hope this helps.

I'd certainly grab the heater & AC assembly since those are getting pretty rare and even if they don't fully swap I can imagine either retooling the E3 one for an E9 or, alternatively, an E3 owner wanting one.

If you don't have room to store it, I'd be happy to hang onto it for you.

Front suspension is interchangeable,not rear.Heater assembly,blower and fan,not controls or console.Seat rails and fake chrome covers,headrests and fake chrome trim covers for posts.Seat belts,front armrests.Door strikers that mount to body,electrical relays.Sure there is more...
