Road Runner Nest

new guy here, i got a 72 satellite sebring plus that's changing into a road runner. bought here on ebay 2 months ago with most of the major work done. she now has a 440, with a 727, and an 8 3/4 rear with 3:55 gears, she was repainted a few years ago and they kept the 2 tone scheme but with a darker blue. she has a few small problems but she'll be ready for spring. i gotta get some road runner decals and the beep beep horn. i'm gonna keep the pait scheme because its different and the tunnel ram intake and fat tires out back. hey i bought car to be a hot rod not a show poodle.

welcome!!! I love it...it's just....right. Really, it just looks correct for the time period.

I think the two tone cars are just so period correct...just like the gold cars...

Thanks, thats what i like about it, the car looks like its still in the 70's. im gonna get a 71 gull wing for it, and would like to put a front chin spoiler on it like a old nascar and gtx-r thats was built. and thats about it.

and i'll eventully get some pictures of my dads 1972 # matching road runners, yes he has 2.

awesome, welcome!

Thats a nice 72!Totally different then the ones im used to seeing on here,well besides landons.
Welcome.

welcome...and nice 72!

Welcome! Cool car! No need to apologize for it, we like them ALL!

Very nice ride you've got there. The one thing that jumped right out to me however is that you've got to move the fuel filter. Imho, having the filter above the header is a potential fire hazard. It's a 2 second fix that my save your car one day. Only trying to help. Good luck with it, it's very nice.

Cool car, love the old street machine look!

Welcome to the site and very nice car..... I love the look.

Thanks for the warm welcome!! thanks for pointing out the fuel filter, i hadn't noticed it. shes in the garage torn apart right now so im gonna fix that now to. somehow the previous owner put the old 318 pump on the 440 and it amazingly worked although leeked everywhere so im working on that and im getting a 5inch tach to mount on the dash like a drag car, the dash is cracked and has a cheap cover on it so i ain't damaging anything good, and i'm in no hurry to get a new one. mechanical secondary gauges and i gotta fix the speedometer for it no worky. im wondering if they spun it around from going to fast and broke it, i dought for its a 150mph one, but its possible i guess.
