My first new car

[wahya]

Hi everyone, I'm Ron. My car is a 1971 Satellite Sebring that I bought new in early 1972. We put almost 250,000 miles on the 318 before parking it in the garage about 20 years ago. There it stayed, except for driving it around the block once in a while. I started restoring it about 4 years ago and I'm almost ready for paint. The 318 was still running smooth right before I pulled it(smoked a little). I now have a 360 in its place and look forward to getting on the road again.

Great story, its good to know there are some people out there who won't abandon a great car.

Just a couple more pics. Repainted in 1975 after getting sideswiped. Painted again in late 80's.
