Various ads I have found for the 1973 Sebring, and it's "muscle" counter-part - the Road Runner!  (Click the pic to enlarge.)

This is a "street sign" which hangs on the wall in front of my car.

OK.  These are not Plymouth Pics.  These are cars which belong to two of my brother-in-laws.  The Camaro is a '69 RS/SS Z-10 and the GTO is a '67.  Click on the third pic to enlarge and you will see the Oklahoma Highway Patrol lying-in-wait for some fast little Neon to break the "no-tolerance" 65 MPH speed limit, as we cruise by at around 80 mph.  These were taken on the 2001 Power Tour sponsored by Hot Rod Magazine.

 

This is not a Plymouth, either.  This is a 1968 Camaro which I had the opportunity to purchase in 1979 for $1000.  My dad (who had to co-sign my loan) thought it would cost too much in repairs, so I passed on the Camaro for the Satellite.  My friend Scott bought the car and still has it to this day.  The first pic was taken at Homecoming 2000 and the second was on the Saturday Night Cruise at SLB 2001.  Man, I sure like this car!

   

In Memorial:  These are pics of my original 73 Satellite NOW.  After it was wrecked in 1982, The insurance company totaled it out and I bought it back from them for $150.00 and continued to drive it.  In 1985, I bought a '74 body at a wrecking yard and pulled the motor and tranny in one piece from my 73 and put it in the 74, which I drove for about a year and traded in 1986 for a 1982 Thunderbird.  Anyway, I parked the hull of the 73 behind my parent's old house and vandals took it from there, breaking out all the glass and ruining the interior.  SOMEDAY, when I have $20-30,000 to spare, I will restore this baby back to better than original condition... Until then - rest in peace.

   

Just a recent front shot and a pic with completed side trim...
