I have for sale this week a 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus. This is an original FE5 red car with White bucket seats and console with floor shift. It is equipped with a 318 V-8 engine and automatic transmission. It also has factory A/C, Power Steering, and Power Disc Brakes, and now has 15" Magnum 500 wheels and a very nice set of Goodyear tires. The car drives well, but needs a restoration. As you can see from the photos, the body is much more solid than most of these cars. The floors are good as well as the frame, both front and rear. The trunk has very minor rust, but not enough to warrant replacing, only repairing.The worst rust on the car is on each quarter panel below the vinyl top mouldings. These areas are easily repaired without rplacing the quarter panels. The vinyl top was originally white and the bottom of the car was silver. The fellow I bought the car did not like that combination and change the lower color and top color many years ago. When I purchased the car, it had been sitting in storage for two years due to bad health of the owner. I had the carb rebuilt, installed fresh gas, a new battery and it fired right up. There is an exhaust leak at the left donut gasket. The car doesn't smoke or knock. The bakes work well as does the power steering. You have to put the shifter in neutral to start the car, so the safety switch needs replacing or adjusting. There is a minor trans fluid leak from the front seal, also from sitting, but is not bad. This is a rare car the way it is equipped. Most people would have opted for the Road Runner with the options on this Satellite.This is an easy restoration project that you can drive now and enjoy while you restore it. I took the fender tag off the car to prevent it from being stolen, but it is the one in the pictures and it matches the dash vin on the car. I have not removed any of the seats to look for the build sheet, but they are all original as well as the carpet, so the build sheet may be in the car. I have this car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for moving the car. I have had some problems with my email, so if you email me and I do not respond, you can reach me at (336) 607-4907. Thanks for looking at my car.
