Yes she was 318 satellite, with a 8 1/4 rear but now has a 71 440, 8 3/4 rear with 3:55 gears, and a 727 torqflight. and is only missing some decals the correct grill and of course the horn to be a Road Runner. I think I got one hell of a deal, what ya think.

    That's a nice looking car! The previous owners seemed to have taken fairly good care of it! You got lucky finding it! Congrats!!!!!!

    Wow!!! Great find and buy. Did you really buy it from them or steal it? That's way too good of a deal. Congrats man. That car is in really good condition.

    My father bought that same year satellite for cheap from a police auction to use as a delivery car. It had a 318 ci. and some skinny rear tires. I use to run errands in it. It was a boat of a car but I would light the rear tires at nearly every stop sign.

    PM me, I might be able to help. Also, I have parted out a few 71 / 72's, and may be able to help out with other parts you may need.
