Not mine, no affiliation, etc...

1969/1970 2500 project car for sale in the middle of nowhere Nebraska. Most early E3's have gone to the crusher, they are very rare in Europe as well in the states. Ad says it it a 1971 but the last U.S. spec 2500 was built in July 1970. Seller is also clueless on where this car was built.

Given its age, and given that it has spent at least some time in rust & hail territory, it doesn't look bad. Especially for $1,500 (firm).

Made in east Germany?????

well, the eastern part of the south of what was at the time west germany.
So there you go...

I like that chrome grill!

It isn't chrome but silver/grey plastic, same as the e9 grille except it's black.

This link has pics of the differences between early and later E3's.

Go about halfway down the page and look at the pics under Andere Foto's

Difference between the early and later E3's:
-Rear lights
-Front grille (This part is NLA for the early cars)
-C pillar vents
