I just found out about a 70 sport Satellite (RP23) originally 318 car. It's partially disassembled in a storage unit with a B/RB engine in it. Can't get in to see it in person. Storage has at least one rat Chevy motor and a ton of tools and crap like that. Not that I need another project, but I'm thinking it's worth a flyer at 5k. Can you say wing car? Any thoughts?
I was able to find these pics.

Hard to say without pictures or a better description.
 
I sure have seen a lot worse...not bad IMO. IF you buy the car & make a wing car out of it, I call dibs on the front fenders. I think I know of at least one 69 Coronet fender in my area I could buy and swap with you, maybe both sides.

as long as u leave our 70 Coronet fenders alone I'm all for it...
 
So, what year Coronet fenders go on a 70 Superbird????
same year as this satellite..they make fiberglass repros for those projects...gettn hard for us 70 Coronet people to find steel fenders for ours ...my avatar is my 70
 
I love my 70 Sport Satellite so much, I am using a V code Runner for a parts car to restore mine. B7 blue with blue/white interior, white vinyl top, white pin stripe. Was 318 non a/c, now 440-6, 4-speed, Dana 60, rally dash. There was a GTX in town that looked identical to my Satellite so I thought it would be easy enough to clone it into a GTX. Then over the years a person ages and grows up and appreciates the 70 Sport Satellite for what it is.
 
70 Plymouths have a beautiful front profile. Sport Satellites arent common anyway. Looks like a nice solid project car.
Restore it as is, drop a 383 in it. And you may only end up spending 30k on a helluva sweet ride

Wing Car tributes can still be 6 figure projects....

BTW, is that a skeleton under the steering wheel in picture one?
Maybe we found Jimmy Hoffa
 
It's an A/C car, so you'd have some work to convert the firewall, plug some holes or just leave em I guess. Has the A/C-heater box and dash sliding controls. If you convert to big block and want to keep the air, all the A/C lines are different even if the orig lines are in a box somewhere.

If the owner has the orig lines and A/C components/brackets, I'd be tempted to restore it back to orig. Pop a built 318 in there and have a nice cruzer with A/C. We did the same thing on my daughter's 318 70 Sport Satellite. Nice 70 Sport Satellites are a rarity.
