[anthony]

yeah the first time i ever saw the frony grill of a 71-72 roadrunerr. my jaw dropped to the floor. i said it the second i saw it. ITS MINE! haha. and yes once my car is done getting restored, im getting it candy black with both fornt and rear stripes both flat black, so as you said black on black, thats what im heading for.

as a matter of fact, look at this this sattelite cloned into a rr.

when i though abotu my colour choice, i said i was gunna take the exact photo of my car, of thast stripe. its just i might get the emblem roadrunner sticking out , rather then having it cut out in the stripe

beautiful car! and for the wheels im slapping some 20's on my baby, black mag wiht a chromed lip, its gunna be a black beautyy!!!

wow....80K for a Satellite. You'd think for that price, they could at least give more of a description of the car!

Not to mention filling up that flat front passenger tire.

I think Ian, that we agree on a number of points. The basic body of these care is what I like.

I do like the full range of cars form RLs, very basic, through the GTX. My favorite being 1972 RR / GTX.
I like to see a completely original Satellite. Maybe with some custom wheels, but not much else. There is not a lot of original ones left out there getting restored to specs.

I don't have a problem with cloning, as long as you're not taking a mint original Satellite apart. There are so many different versions. They all got a soul! (or as close as a car can get..LOL)

I will scour Craigslist and Ebay until I find a 1972 J-3, Meadow Green Satellite Sebring, bench seat car..with white interior, as that is decriptive of my first car (No longer exists )

JMO, but i actually have a preference for the satellites...everybody's heard of roadrunners, some of gtxs, but very few know what a satellite even is...to me, a satellite is kind of a gtx without the 440 or hemi, and with today's technology, you could easily build up that stock 318 or 383/400, maybe even opt for a 360 or a stroker small block and have a great sleeper. my car may not look like it now, but i love plain jane cars, so mine (eventually) will be B5, painted white roof, chrome bumpers and trim, argent grille, restore my slot mags, and dual exhaust with turndowns - the 440 is a giveaway, but without callouts or decals on the fenders, and SS emblems all around, maybe able to fool some

i do like the runners and x's but the stripped-down birds are my favorite...solid color, no stripes hood pins or spoilers, standard hood, steel wheels (or rallyes), standard round mirror, chrome bumpers, bench seat, and a 3 or 4 speed manual trans BEAUTIFUL

but without callouts or decals on the fenders

Yeah I think I need to replace my 440 callouts with some custom 4 Cyl callouts for the sleeper effect.
