If I use the search engine of this forum I find a lot of results but what is the correct Blaupunkt Frankfurt for 1973.5?

Blaupunkt Frankfurt US model 7.632.627 4th digit in model number is the year of Mfg. so "2" means 1972. There were no US models for 1973 they used the '72 models. You could also use the '70 (7.630) & '71 (7.631) models once installed they look the same. Should also have the chrome trim piece that is installed from the front with the indented middle bar that is dull/matte finish, below is a picture of a late '73 radio installed:

Thanks Mike. Should the radio be stereo or mono?

Should be mono version.

By the way, the mono version with the dash speaker works much better for me than a late model stereo with door speakers. Sound quality may not be hi-fidelity, but I can hear it over the noise of the car.
