Vehicle Description
You might not often see a 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus, but
look at this extra close. There's a cool/classic style inside and
out that shows good care over a handful of devoted owners. And
there are terrific details like the bold blue interior, large
paperwork file, and numbers-matching V8. But as you dig deeper, you
discover the investments were also about making this premium
hardtop a seriously powerful muscle car.
Black is beautiful. But this one goes the extra mile to mix the
stealthy hue with an attention-grabbing silver lower portion. The
trim tag tells us this attractive combo is factory-correct, but
today it benefits from a respray in the early 2000s. The finish
looks even younger in person, and that's from a history of
enthusiast care. We're told this was with the original family for
about 35 years. It was then purchased by the second owner and held
for a few years. His friend was a true '72 Mopar fanatic, and so he
sold the car to him. The third owner made more restoration
investments, including rebuilding the original 400 V8 into a Road
Runner killer. He eventually sold it back to the second owner. The
result is a car that's celebrating its half-century birthday and
has only had three household owners who have given it proper care.
That's why this has fantastic details that live up to the premium
range-topping Sebring Plus image. You see it in the taut half vinyl
top, full-length trim separating the two-tone, and the overall fit
of the body panels - including those coupe doors. And we also
understand why they would give this on a meaner motor. The imposing
front end with the bumper surrounding the grille, long hood with
callouts, Mag 500 wheels, and sharp lines of the rear deck make
this look like a muscle car even when it's really born to a premium
Sebring Plus.
One of the big investments under the third owner was restoring the
interior with Mopar's distinct Bright Blue color. This vibrant sea
of blue inside just seems to represent the 1970s perfectly, and the
feeling is like a time capsule. Bright upholstery, plush loop
carpeting, detailed door panels, a nice headliner, and a smooth
dash make this look great. There are even nice details for a
premium classic cruiser, like the working AM radio, smooth
wood-like trim, and factory air conditioning (it's now running
modern R134a refrigerant, but it will likely need a recharge to
blow ideally cold again.) And you'll also appreciate how much of a
driver's classic this is. That means high-back front bucket seats,
a grippy classic steering wheel, and a driver-oriented center
console with Mopar's Slap Stick shifter.
The engine bay has a clean and stock style that makes it great to
show off, and that's a good thing because you'll want to talk about
this powerhouse. It's the numbers-matching unit, but it was rebuilt
under the third owner to be a true muscle car powerhouse. It was
professionally upgraded from a 400 cubic-inch V8 to a 470ci stroker
motor. This has been enhanced and fortified further with H-beam
rods with ARP bolts, Moly rings, a hydraulic cam, 440 heads, and
topped with an Edelbrock 750 four-barrel carburetor. The headers
add to this powerful package while contributing to the rumble of
the dual exhaust. And when you want people to really know you have
a mean powerhouse, there are also electronic cutouts to bypass the
mufflers. And as you check out the system in the undercarriage
photos, you'll also see fresher suspension components that give you
a confident feeling out on the road. Plus, it's a proper driver
with the stout A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission,
a Suregrip 3.55 Richmond 10 spline rear, power steering, and power
brakes with front discs.
The sale comes complete with a terrific paperwork file. This
includes the original window sticker, dealer invoice, factory
buildsheet, owner's manual, title documentation, and build
receipts. This is the Mopar coupe that has an impressive style, an
impressive history, and impressive power. So you know it needs to
be in your garage. Call today!!!
