It is possibly a one of one car, since the A45 spoiler package was not supposed to be available on a Satellite. The other oddity is that the door VIN tag has only a partial VIN along with "NO SPEC" printed. A previous owner (two owners before the current) had contacted me about the car.
Given the current condition of the car, I'd guess the actual mileage was 100,383.

I agree with Eric it looks real rough to be just 383 miles. If it was actual then it would look more like Eric's B7 beauty (I want to see more pics of that one) :beer:

That is not the engine bay of a 380 mile "survivor" car!

Cool car with a spoiler package and GREAT color but it's not a low mile hidden gem.
I truly hope who ever purchased this car was not told it was.

I saw this post on Moparts about a 777 mile original survivor car.

This is what an original survivor engine looks like.

Now I have a similar question since you guys have a good estimate of 71s. How about a 72 SSP in EV2 HOW RARE IS THAT? LOL
I have written just 2.0% for 72 satellite models.

Chances are for '72 it's a rare color. But you need to sit back, and understand the meaning of rare. If the dealers thought they could of sold lots of '72s Satellites in EV2. Chances are there would of been a whole row of them sitting on the dealers lots. But there wasn't. Because they had a hard time selling them in that color. Buy me red. Also means arrest me red. It caught the eye of the cops easier. When guys like to flaunt the fact that they have something rare. You can take them down a couple pegs. When you point out that the reason it's rare. It's because very few people wanted it. If lots of people had wanted that color or option. They would of sold lots of them. But they didn't. Thus it's rare. Not because they didn't make very many of them. They just didn't sell very many of them. I know we scratch our heads today when we see boat loads of green and gold cars in our favorites. But they wouldn't of made them. If people weren't buying those colors back then. As you definitely see a lot of those when you go looking at cars. Or that was the original color of a car that has been repainted. Guys today will kill for rear window louvers on a B or E body. Or the Fords that had them. Back then? Guys were taking them off of their cars. As they thought they were ugly. Times and people's tastes change. I had a friend who bought a set of rubber bumpers for his '70 hemicuda. His wife told him that if he took the chrome bumpers off. She'd divorce him, and he'd lose the car! No, I'm not making this up. She liked the chrome bumpers better. :cry:

1972 Satellite

RL21 Satellite 10,507
RH21/23 Satellite Sebring 34,353
RP23 Satellite Sebring Plus 21,399
RM23 Road Runer 7,628

Total 73,887 for 1972 2 door b-body Plymouth
Compared to Dodge Charger total for 2 door b-body at 75,594
The "Sportier" Charger only outsold Plymouth by 1,707 cars in 1972?!

Thanks that means an EV2 SSP is pretty rare, but your RR is really rare!
