Road Runner Nest

Question for you 1971 RL21 Satellite owners. Is the plastic dash insert piece that goes across the face of the dashpad wood grain? Or is it black plastic? I know it's black in the 1972 model. But I can't seem to find a picture of a 1971 RL21 dash to look at.

There aren't any RL21's for the 71 model year. There were cars with the coupe package (A93, if I remember correctly), but they carried an RH23 VIN for whatever reason.

That said, the 71 coupes did have the black plastic insert - with the raised center area like the 72s. They also had a unique grille emblem, and only had "Satellite" badging on the quarters.

Thanks for the info. I couldn't remember if they had the coupe RL code in '71 or not. Would a '71 Road Runner possibly have the coupe interior without the woodgrain insert?

I have not seen any A93 coded road runners. Unless it was a factory mistake, I wouldn't expect to see a black insert in a 71 runner dash.

Jimmy eBay ID "recharged" had a black dash insert for sale about 6 months ago. I don't know if he sold it, but you could send him a message and ask if he has one. I love the "Plymouth" grille emblem that came with the coupe, they should have been on all Satellite's.... in my opinion.
