yup...i'm thinking the rr and base model are together because originally, the roadrunner was supposed to be stripped...then, the sebring and ssp are closer in trim to the gtx, but lower on the totem pole, yet have more "pretty parts" than the runner, so i'm assuming the sport satellite was between the runner and gtx in previous years

I find it funny how they have a proper code for the plus but none of teh other sub model packages,maybe because the plus was the only package that had an engine choice?idk

Check out the frame rails to see just how much work will be involved. Drive it for the summer, then decide. I'm sure there are a lot of good parts if you decide to part it out.

The red plaid is a wimbledon cloth pattern that was an option on the roadrunner's and sebring pluses in 1974. It was available on the buckets and bench seat options. So, it's definitely the correct interior.

Pull the seats out, pull the carpet up and find the build sheets, they should still be there. I found two really good build sheets in my Sat Sebring, one under the dash and one under the carpet. That'll help make your decsision for you.

The 360 was a really good engine, so in my opinion, it may be worth restoring the Sebring Plus.
