New to the nest
Hello everyone. I was at Mopars at the valley and met a nice couple. They were Gary and Pam out of Massachusetts and they brought their 71 wing cars. I brought my 71 SSP and they took time to come over and look at it even though it's unrestored. Gary informed me of the nest so here I am. For about 4 years I've owned a 71 SSP. I sort of rescued it as it had been parked outside for many years along side a garage. I wasn't sure about it at first. The weeds were through the floors and steering wheel as it sat with no front wheels. Even though I'm no expert on these cars I thought the options were slightly rare. It has a factory powered sunroof, power windows, power disc brakes, and bucket interior. Maybe some of those options are standard for the SSP. I don't know. At least the color combo is one I haven't seen. It's GB2 with a full white vinyl top. So after brakes, rotors, fresh gas, and tune up parts the 318 seems to run like it should. I have little to no computer skills but will post pictures soon. Thank you for your interest, Darrell

Re: New to the nest
Welcome to the Nest! Sounds like a cool car. The sunroof option is fairly rare and you do not see a lot of these cars painted GB2. We love to see pictures around here!

Hi Darrel,
Glad you finally made it over to the 'Nest. I think you remember me--Fellow Sunroof enthusiast. Met you at Carlisle a few years back. I had the 71 GTX FJ6 sunroof 4-spd car. We talked at some length. Stay in touch good stuff on this site when you start on the Satellite!

Re: New to the nest
I'm met Gary a few years ago. I bought a gauge cluster from him at his house. Showed me some of his wing cars...awesome! Super nice guy and very helpful.
