As a paperboy in the mid 70's I walked passed a white '72 Satellite Sebring Plus . I had no idea what made it special . I simply knew it was gorgeous and someday I would have one . It was one of my dream cars for many years . I couldn't tell you the last time I saw one in person . I haven't seen one at a car show for many years either
The car brings back memories when I was dating my 1st girlfriend in HS; during that time her dad bought one brand new and it was stunning looking at it in their driveway - and as the saying goes "You never forget your first girl"...or something similar...

IMO, 71-72 Sats are the #2 best looking mopar ever. #1--- gen 2 Chargers. The front grill of the Sats on a '70 Charger would be the perfect mopar. However, all Mopars are attractive in some way.

Dakar Timm, I hear the same sentiments with my '71 Satellite Sebring Plus at car show. So many would say they never heard of a Sebring Plus. I've owned 2 of them and both of them big block cars. I love'em and wouldn't trade for anything else.

In 1972 my company, Xerox Corp, was offering the Satellite as a choice for company car. I was stuck with the '71 fury ll i choose the year before. In '74 I got to chose the Duster which came with 318, auto, & a/c. This was 1st year Xerox sprang for a/c in company car. In '75 I bought the Duster from Xerox when I joined the management ranks. Kept it until '81. Did some changes to the smog plumbing (eliminated ) to pick up some minor performance and better fuel economy. Wish I could have kept it. Also, put monroe coilovers on all 4 corners and really improved handling.
