Just noticed your name, I answered a Stripe question for you on the 71-2 Satellite/road runner page.

I would love to hear more about this one myself, more pictures wouldn't hurt my feelings either!!! Looks like one KA_oool ride!!!

I will add more pics as the restore progresses. she came out of Arizona and is rust free. The 2 barrel was replaced with a four, but I received the original manifold and am shopping for an original 2 barrel. I'm watching one on eBay. she also has a front end anti sway bar, looks OEM but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an option on the Satellite, either. The picture I received with the car, which was claimed to be a picture of Scarlet Sue, could not have been her, since upon closer look, the rear bumper is definitely from a 1971. I think it's what someone once wanted the car to be.

Hey RJS! Well, it's really been a while since I've been on this group and this is the first time I saw your comments on this garage. ScarletSue has been at the mechanic for the last couple years to fix the distributor drive gear. I found it was not installed correctly when PO had the engine rebuilt by a shop in Arizona. We moved and my mechanic got really busy with higher priority jobs. I had my mechanic install a dbl roller timing chain and fix a few additional mechanical problems.

Well, we finally got Scarlet Sue back home a few weeks ago. While she was at the mechanic for the correction to the distributor drive gear, I searched ads and found a couple things that we needed to complete the conversion back to the original two barrel. There was the kick down linkage, and true to the sellers ad, it was a perfect fit for the 400CID two barrel carb carb setup. The next find was the correct single-snorkle air cleaner body. The air cleaner body didn't come with the temp. sensor or the vacuum line clips, so we needed to move those from the double snorkle air cleaner body to the new air cleaner body. But when that was done, we were pleased to discover, with the help of a heat gun, that the sensor and the vacuum diaphragm were completely operational!!! Still in need of the tin air heater stove that mounts over the exhaust manifold to complete this part of the restoration. More to come.

Finally completed another project. Recovered the the rear seat. Lots of blood sweat and a few tears
