New here on the forums

Hey guys I'm newer here on the FBBO forums and never posted on the welcome wagon so here we go. I recently rescued my Uncles 72 satellite sebring plus out of the woods after it had sat in the same spot since before I was born lol. It has a 400 backed by a 727 and I am working on replacing a lot of service parts with factory restoration parts to make it as correct as possible. Any help or comments are welcome especially on the restoration side of it, thanks.

Thanks for saving it
Welcome

I couldnt let the poor thing rot into the ground as I grew up around hot rods and such.

Nope lol I needed to get new tires and they would have costed nearly 500 but a guy had those cop wheels that are on the car now for 400 already mounted and balanced and the rear tires are a lot wider than my original magnums, but I did keep them up in my barn for future use.

Welcome from Alabama, I always liked the style of the 72 Satellite Sebring Plus. I think it's the chrome side trim and paint scheme.

That’s a beautiful 72 you have there. My first was a 72 Road Runner with the 400 HP. Great car with lots of room.
