Well a friend of mine who owns a ranch called me yesterday and told me he had a old Plymouth he wanted to get off his property and if i wanted it come and get it. I went there and picked up a 73 satellite. The body is in rough shape but it runs AWSOME!!! Lots of power smokes the tires with ease. How would I know if it is a SSP?

I will post pictures soon. Would the fender tag have a special number? There are no tags on the car at all right now.

The pluses came with a rallye instrument package.

check this out. . .
Also, the vin number should identify it as base model, roadrunner package, or high end model satellite. .

I do have the fender tags and the car is registered. He even gave me the signed pink slip. I know the VIN starts with RH. I do not remember if it had the rally gauges but I do not think it did, I will look after work.

The vin starts with RP23G3G, The interior seats have a red type plad seats. I beleive they are original. The trunk and rear quarters are rusted pretty bad. Should I just strip the car for parts or keep it whole? All the numbers do match. I wanted it for the transmission initially, but the motor runs sweet. The odometer says 43,514 and I think based on how good it runs this could be original miles.
