Rare satellite?

[cosgig]

Since 72 was a strike shortened year, I would say that besides it being a Sebring, and not a Sebring Plus, that it’s probably pretty rare.

I wonder how many other models of Mopars are out there with that similar fender tag ?

It is a Sebring plus

What would the prefix for a Satellite Sebring be?

RP = a Sebring Plus, was the replacement model for the prior Sport Satellite, which was essentially a GTX without a 440.

Thanks for sharing the photos. One of the first cars off the assembly line in 72.

BUT...... that car should be preserved as-is, not restored. The value and interest is in its original form as an early build car. Push the dent out, find some trim for it, and gently clean and wax it and .... done.

Was there a base model Satellite in 72? I’m not too familiar with the Satellites from 71 and on, although I did have a 72 Sebring and my folks had a 73 Sebring Plus

Yes the satellite coupe.

What does that mean?

That's pretty odd.

Pilot cars are assigned Job numbers...

Kind of like my broadcast sheet that says "last job".

Sequence number is 2 so it’s possible. Weren’t they supposed to be crushed after advertising?

No

 

[Nxcoupe]

Not a Sebring Plus in the ad so I would say no. Pilots were sold to the public after Chrysler was done. Only pre production body in white type cars were crushed I believe. Seen quite a few pilots over the years.

Those are called mules. There are a few phases before production models. Mule is one of the last and they are all destroyed, but every once in a while, one squeaks by as evidenced by a hemi wagon or 4 door.

I told the guy hes got a very rare car. Nice find probably a $60,000 restored

I don’t doubt the tag, but it seems odd to me that a show car doesn’t have a full tag or two of options.

It's possible the car did not have a fender tag and someone had one produced.
