If anyone has a solid roller near me I would love to get one ;)

What's your budget?

The car posted above will need both quarter panels and extensive work to the roof...and that's just what we can see on the surface.

AMD did make full quarters, so they are at least somewhat available.

I agree, despite the asking prices for clean 71/72 "second level" cars like SSP and Sebring starting to go through the roof, that you can find a more solid starting point.

You might want to check out my "under 10K for sale thread" here on FBBO and the "I wish it was closer craigslist" thread on FABO.


Say, wasn't there a solid 71/72 satellite for sale by a notable member here a while ago?

Welcome.
Thats a parts car. Spend a few mpre $$ and get something better to work with. YOU will thank me.

I will scour those now! I was planning on getting the car and a buddy I work with does tons of body work. I can get the rear full quarters for around 350$ each side front and back seats are around 400$ each new, driver side floor pan needs a patch but can get a full half for 150$. I’ve done a bit of research but what worries me is the stuff I couldn’t see.. the stuff you see when you start pulling those things out..

A guy I know has this 74 charger for sale that’s a nice roller, says it has interior but needs redone. I like the chargers but I’m so stuck on my satellite idk what to do I don’t want to rush into anything but I was thinking maybe getting this for trade bait but ‍

Welcome from Alabama, if you can pick that one up cheap enough, it would be a treffic parts car. I highly recommend a parts car for the restoration of a good solid project. It will save you big$ at today's parts prices.
