was about $1700 so super cheap! bought a 73 satellite off the same guy a few years ago and the shipping was really cheap then too
No joke. My first car was a '73 Plymouth Satellite Custom. Not the Sebring..the sedan. I bought it in 1993 for $700. It had a 318 with a dead cylinder. I drove it for 4 years on that dead cylinder. Dang car just wouldn't die. Best $700 that I ever spent. I recently saw an identical (except for the color) one near me on fakebook marketplace for $5,000.

That is a GREAT price! I got a quote from Texas to California for $2,000. I wonder how much it would cost from UK to California.

1. Welcome
2. Congratulations!
That is a good looking truck. You done good, as we say here in the South!
I love those style wheels, but 16.5 inch tires are getting pretty rare these days. And no, a 16 inch will not fit.
