I'm thinking just the stripes on the trunk lined up with the taillights. I think the bulge stripe is enough on the hood. In regards to never seeing a vinyl top with stripes, several of those rare striped 72s had at least half tops.

Has anyone put the 72RR N96 deck stripes on a 73-74? My 73satellite has a black vinyl top and I'm thinking with a striped bulge hood the rear deck stripes may go well. Thoughts?

My Satellite Dusty in the shop with its money pit partner in crime.

Curious as to what exactly is being done to the bumper. Cut in the center?

How'd they know they'd cause rust within a year?:icon_winkle: I remember back in the late 80s in high school my 73 RR became a chipper shredder when I zipped to 100mph. The floorboard filled with leaves. I sold a 73 RR hood this past weekend. I kept the 74 hood to put on my 73 Sat later. It...

Not much is out there from a reproduction sheetmetal standpoint. A few patches is about all you can find. If you are patient usually fenders etc will pop up for sale. Unfortunately if there is much rail damage I probably would pass unless you have a parts car.

Why is it anytime you go to a swap you always leave with something you never intended on finding.:shruggy: I made my little list of a few items since I'm getting back into working on the Cuda. Rarely do I find much in the sea of Chevy but I go to get out. As I'm making my way through the...

.....but saying that, I bet there is still $150 worth of parts there. I am currently working on a 71, trust me.:sad10:

Those stripes look ok. The painted fronts on 73-74s:puke:

Gotta ask though if the technology to get 40+mpg was there 25 years ago why is it so difficult now? In terms of a car for kids I'd look for a 5-6 year old compact ( good gas mileage). Im a high school principal and unlike when I was in hs (late 80s) kids don't really view cars the same. They...

My first car which had been my dad's was a 73 RR that he bought in 73. It was a 340 car in B5 with a full white top and interior and magnum 500s. It had the metal emblems and a standing bird on the side under the vinyl trim. What was cool about it was it had a narrow white pinstripe painted...

No doubt 12k may be stretching it on the blue car but it appears very straight, solid, and original for the most part. I wouldn't use that red car as a benchmark either. While that red one looks solid obviously many liberties were take that devalue that car. You can see dings in trim as well...

I imagine something in the 295/305/315 width range would look great on these big b bodies. The issue I was seeing was the lack of height. I have yet to find many pics of larger rims on the 71-74s.

Looks like a nice car. Unless you are just hung up on the mileage I wouldn't worry too much. Personally I bet it is 122,000. My main concern would be the body. Make sure it is solid and not bondo. As stated some of the stickers may be wrong. The one just below the vinyl would have been a...
