Vehicle Description
1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring
Just prior to the Arab oil embargo where all the muscle car makers
were in a panic because of the skyrocketing price of gas, and they
were forced into stringent emission control standards, this car was
introduced. With fuselage styling (Chrysler Corporation's full-size
cars had a peculiar styling, called the Fuselage Look. They were
so-named because their sides were deep and rounded, like the
fuselage on an airplane. As well, the cars' belt lines were so deep
that window space was relatively shallow.) and a larger power plant
for 1972 it was Damn the Torpedoes!
There's just something about a broad shouldered Mopar that appeals
to pretty much everyone with a pulse. Maybe it's their wow factor.
Maybe it's the sense of strength they convey. Or maybe it's simply
the surface development of their hard-edged panels. Whatever the
case may be, this original Satellite in Sebring Trim, carries all
that classic Chrysler charm under a whole slew of details which
highlight a clean and modern appearance, all the way back from
1972.
Exterior
A self described "show paint job" carefully resprayed with Chestnut
Poly Metallic, it will be difficult to find any fault on this
fuselage looker. Great looking Sebring trim is seen to start
snaking rearward at the front bumper, going around the front wheel
well, then headed back over the door and rear quarter panel where
it goes for another up and down ride around the rear wheel well,
and finally ending at the rear bumper. This similar style drip
molding traces its way around the base of the consigner stated new
black vinyl top and rear window. Also, one can see new Magnum 500
wheels and raised white letter tires...and there you have
it...Sebring trim.
Interior
A vinyl bench in Saddle Tan with matching door panels, and a rear
bench fill the inside of the passenger compartment. Smart
"Satellite Sebring" floor mats cover a very clean golden brown
carpet. A simple very clean (literally and figuratively) orderly
dash stretches from door to door and is all original including the
38,134 miles that have been clocked during the long life of this
car. A nice tight clean headliner tops the interior off, and noted
is a very nice original steering wheel, and an AM/FM Music Master
Radio in working condition.
Drivetrain
An unbelievably clean engine which touts 318ci displacement, and
blue paint, has all kinds of shine and no corrosion on any surface,
as well as electronic ignition. The standard 2-barrel carburetor
sits atop with a flawless air cleaner in black protecting the carb.
Bolted on to the back is a TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a
8 1/4" rear axle.
Undercarriage
Slight surface rust is noted on an otherwise clean undercoated
frame and floor panels as well as underside of rockers. A
Flowmaster dual exhaust snakes its way rearward from the 318ci
mill.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and great performer, this example was a pleasure
to test drive, and it handled our test track like the best of them.
Neck snapping acceleration from 1972, solid braking and decent
handling. All worked very nicely with the functionality, no
problems to report.
Mopar fans here is a true original. Always garaged, a onetime near
perfect respray, and always maintained like a favorite prize
flower, this beautiful and loooong car is a turnkey classic.
