The "Sassy Grass" green car (from the original pic below) is still there but there is no fender tag. I talked with the owner who said he bought it 20+ years ago from a kid. Engine was gone. It was originally a 383 3 speed car.
This is it today... Still the same. Still sad.
And the other one I think you guys wanted info on was the blue 71 Roadrunner (seen in the original picture below). This one actually does have the fender tag still... I took several pics because it is hard to read it all on one. Sometimes the different angle helps to see certain codes more clearly...
I apparently can't read all the codes right:

It's a sad looking car too... Was probably a real beauty when she was new...
And here's the one I bought. A 71 Satellite. Has a built 440, 727, 8 3/4. The thing has no rust at all. None. The driver's side quarter panel had been smashed so the guy who owns all these cars had his body guy come out and install a new quarter panel on it. Looks like a solid project though. Wish it was a real RR but what ya gonna do? Still a cool 71 Plymouth B Body with a lot of potential. Guy threw in a RR hood so that ugly one is history. Picking it up next weekend.
Also snatched up a 1977 Ramcharger 4x4 for the wife. She's been wanting an International Scout but those things are terrible. She fell in love with the Ramcharger so we are going to do a soft top, a little lift, some wheels and tires, then I will shoot it satin black for her. It's a real nice truck. 318 and runs like a top. Sorry, forgot to take pics of it...
We got a good package deal on the 2 so it was a good weekend. The driveway will soon be overflowing with Mopars
I like Sats and SSP's just as much as Runners and X's. They're all excellent cars. I towed my friends 74 challenger out to his new home and he was a bit down about it. I had to remind him he has an actual Challenger. Some people would give body parts to have one. Ok 318/3 speed stick, 3.23.....but we can make that puppy better than anything that came out of the factory and still look reasonably stock. Same with your project. Good luck with it.
