I had a 71 ssp 383, 4 speed car in the late 70's .It was f3 green with white it.,buckets no console, black dash and carpet. I Wish I still had that one. It sure was a sleeper. There is no need to clone a big block satty, I dont know the production numbers but I would guess they fewer bb satties then rr's. I want one.

My Grandfather bought a big block 1973 SSP brand new, with a 400 2bbl and the towing package. Everything was heavy duty... It was Tahitian Gold with a tan vinyl top and parchment bucket seat interior with the slap-stick console. He used it to pull a little Shasta camper all over the US, and I even remember seeing it with the giant fender-mounted rearview mirrors installed.

He eventually gave it to my uncle who was in hs early 20's and he jacked the back up and added 10" wide mags on the back and some chrome goodies and drove the crap out of it. I was pretty young at the time, and it seems like all we did was burnouts, doughnuts, and "fish hooks" where he'd do a burnout in reverse and pop it into low and leave two "fishhooks." I haven't been right ever since, and I have always wanted a '73 Satellite Sebring. Hence the reason for the blue car.

His finally gave out somewhere in northern Maine by Moosehead Lake and he left it... I'd give anything to be able to track it down. All I have is the side emblems from it that my uncle removed when he left it.

I would, but I'm saving for tires for my 200S wheels... and my transmission is leaking...

here's a quick photoshop of my plan.. except I'd like to add a Go-Wing.
