My other baby

 

[Ron 73]

I do like your "other" baby!! I had the 68-70 RR's back when they were just cars.. I kick myself every time i think of it. The 69 was my favorite, not the rag top, the 70 was my wife's favorite, maybe someday ill be able to get one or the other again. Enjoy! looks great.

 

[blackblazer717]

The rag is def. Part of ky family. Its been an ongoing restoration for 14 years now.

Is it just me, or does anyone else love that he brought some of the leaves home with him? lol. Please tell me you saved it and hung it in the garage. Kind of a momento. A reminder of where she came from.

Wonderful find, I'm envious. Back in the day, these were actually pretty popular cars, selling as well in 73 and 74 as the Camaro's did for Chevy during the same two year period. Well, as well as it could be with the gas crisis of the seventies..but I've owned three Plymouth Satty's, one 74 and two 73's... love seeing other people appreciate the body style and working to salvage one. We're a small group..but growing.
