Hi to all of you...I just registered after being led here by 71GTXD21 (Nick). Currently I am an multiple A body owner, but I will soon have a '73 RR clone in my garage. It's a 400/727 rust free car out of southern CO...I'm picking it up next weekend. Nick told me this was the place to be for 71-74 RR/Satellite/GTX info!!!

thats in pretty good shape. I was wondering why you cloned a 73 RR when there are real RRs for sale cheap all over the net? I got a real 74 RR (originaly)FE5 red A/C car I could not give away.

What is your idea of cheap? Cheap to me is anything under $3K these days and a real RR in the shape that this Satellite is in would not be any where close to what I got it for. I wish I could have found a rust free real RR, but my search ended here. BTW...I haven't cloned anything yet. I just recently put a deposit on the car and will be picking it up next week. It's a rust FREE 73 SSP with a 400/727/8-3/4. Bucket interior, ralley gauges, RR hood, etc... All for less than $3K...I couldn't pass it up.

Sorry all...more pics have to wait for a few weeks. Just my luck, my son was admitted to the hospital a few days before I was supposed to go get this car and we wound up having to post pone (sp?) until April 16/17!! Hope my luck is better in April...I'm dying to get this thing home!! I just sold my '72 Duster 340 and my garage needs to be re-filled!! LOL!!
