72 Satellite NEW toy

[Coelacanth]

Love the look. Really looking to make it more sporty looking. Maybe closer to this.

I like where you're going with this. I personally love body-painted bumpers and blacked-out grille, too. I'm going this same direction with my 1970 Charger, Grendel. I think it looks more sinister. For wheels & tires, 275-60-15's are pretty commonplace on the rears, Cooper Cobras are priced better than BFG's and the reviews seem to indicate they last longer.

Look like they should have come on it from the factory.

VERY generous wheel wells.


Consider a 5.9 Magnum swap.

Yes a 403 stroker 360 mag is in consideration as well. So many ideas I have to consider.

"Drop in" 120,000 mike stock 5.9 is a humdinger of an upgrade for under 5K total.

...and likely has 120K more miles.

That is what we have for rubber on 15x6 1/2s. Our 72 was once a bench seat column shift green on green, 318, 904, 8 1/4 car. We drove it lots, painted it white in 1989 w black interior, console and buckets w 150 speedo and tach in the ralley dash, 8 3/4 w 3.23 sure grip. We had fun w the 318 headers, cam, 4 barrel, later added a turbo, but couldn't keep head gaskets in it. Then a 440..Now a stock appearing 542 waiting to fire it up. Also bought a air grabber for it and repairing rust/paint from driving in in the winter in high school and college! It has always been a fun to drive car. If it could talk it would have great stories!
