They would do better if they knew how to fix it instead of complaining about it lol!! All the time Randy spent complaining about no wipers he could of had the thing rigged up to work but he's the only one I know that would buy a 50 year old car out of state and expect everything to be all good and go drive it home with no tools and parts to fix the issues because real car guys would know there will be issues and tools will be needed to fix them.

I had a 1973 Plymouth Satellite Sebring back in 1973. The front seat was a bench seat. Actually, it was what they called a 3/4 bench driver side was 3/4 of the bench and the passenger seat was independent with high backs on both sides. Also, mine was the same color!

It’s a satellite Sebring plus because of options including the rally dash. and imo you paid a little too much by $4-6K Also the side markers have been filled in. The road runner hood that you want are hard to find and usually start $500 and up. A lot better than the scamp. Way over paid on that one.

I have to agree with others that think you overpaid. With that said. You might be able to make it back if you fix it up more. It is a neat car. I think the color is cool. I think you should keep it that color. If you change it you should do another wild Chrysler color. But I like the purple on it.

Bought a new Roadrunner in 1973. Black with white stripes. It came with a 318 two barrel and floor mounted three speed manual transmission. It had hood pins and all Roadrunner equipment including slotted exhaust tips. I think it cost around $3200. Unlike larger engines, the 318 did not have the engine size on the white hood stripe. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

My guess is that with the tires being 23 years old, they are disintegrating from the inside out and need to be replaced. The tires on my '71 Buick LeSabre were purchased in 2000. Last summer, after a run in high temps, I started to get a bad vibration from all four corners. The tires only have about 6000 miles on them and from the outside, they look perfect. I couldn't afford to buy new tires last year, so the car has been sitting since last June. Hopefully, I can get tires and have it on the road this year.

Cus it has a ralleye dash but none of it works. And it's all disconnected.

I have owned many Mopars. As I look at your thumbnail, I see right away that it’s not a Road Runner hood. The exhaust tips are incorrect, it should have the “flash suppressor” tips. Im sure you googled the VIN. Since it was originally green, I’m guessing that it’s originally a vinyl roof Satellite Sebring. The rubber strip between the rear bumper and the trunk is unobtanium. You are missing all the brightwork trim obviously so that won’t be cheap to get ahold off for the next owner.Good Luck with that hooptie…

It's a Road Runner -cloned Satellite. RH is the biggest giveaway. The jacked leaf spring shackles says "Saggy springs," the dash pad is a vinyl wrap over...you should have gotten a spare ballast resistor, spare voltage regulator (on the firewall) and replaced the instrument cluster voltage regulator. Old Mopar super weak spots.
@auteurfiddler8706
@auteurfiddler8706 2 жыл бұрын
Well, the resistance gauges (engine temp, fuel, and oil pressure) are about right, so I'd leave the last one (the dash voltage limiter) be. They make a solid state replacement for that but I'm not sure if it is really any better. A spare voltage regulator, ballast resistor and ignition box are fine to have, but the original ones were pretty reliable for me. Maybe not the cheap replacement stuff you buy today, though...

The first car I bought was a '74 Roadrunner, my VIN started with RM21L4G. Mine was a 360 auto. I had the same bucket seats in my car, which had a console and slap stick shifter. I looked at RR's that had buckets with no console and a column shifter, and some with consoles and the slap stick. You could build them with some odd option and color combos. My car had some seriously warped areas on the roof near where yours had the cracks. I don't know what a Satellite 6 is, possibly a fleet car? I don't think your car has the original rear end, as I think it was one with a rear cover on it, instead of the 8+3/4 that should have been in most V8 cars, which indicates a fleet car. Mine had the taxi rear end, as it was one of the last '74's made, and it broke soon after the warranty was up. I replaced it with a vastly stronger 8+3/4 3.55 Sure Grip from the local boneyard. My car had a lot of "wrong" parts in it, including the wrong wheel bearings! I had to have one of the spindles replaced soon after I got it when the wrong bearing tore it all up. As far as your car goes, I'm sure I saw it and drove it about 20 years ago in Indiana, a friend was thinking of buying it. Unless there is another purple RR clone with a 318 that used to be green, it's the same car.

That will be a nice car when it is finished. Next time don't forget the Gorilla Tape to fix water leaks. Once I bought a Cessna 172 that was full of Hail Damage all over I used a Hot Air Heater Blower 165 degrees on each dent and a bunch of dry ice for the fun of it and accidentally repaired 97% of the Hail Damage after I bought it from Avemco Insurance Company as a Total Loss. I had the FAA come inspect it with a IA standing by also and to my surprise they Re-certified the aircraft as airworthy. I flew it for five years after that and had 1/10 of what it cost in it. Got Lucky. Zero Paint and Zero Parts. The inspection cost 2g but it was worth it with a fresh Annual included. I got a How did you repair that question from the FAA and a lot of people asking me to repair Hail Damage which I never did again on Aircraft. Everyone signed off on the Airplane but I did have to enter it in the Log Book as to the procedure in detailed explanation. Nice Car ya done good on that one.

So, before buying the new alternator you saw that both field wires were detached from the old alternator. Maybe they did that because the old alternator was shorted out to be able to drive it without damaging the wiring. Still, I would have asked O'Reillys to test the old alternator on the bench. You didn't say if you kept the old one or turned it in for a core. For the record: Anything below 12.7 is NOT charging at all. The ammeter was very good in pointing that out, even though Mopar guys today are wary of the original alternator.

I missed this video somehow. I'm currently in the process of picking up a car very similar for free to get it out if the yard and im totally playing off I'm oblivious to the value. We will see how it plays out this weekend. Not sure if it's a satellite or a road runner from the pics. Has your same wheels

Unless that is a Dana 60 rear end Randy at 4:20, that is a 7 1/4 rear end making this Satellite. Road Runners came with 8 3/4 rear end that kind of looks like a Ford 9in.

Randy, and pass this to Mike, I am going to call you two, "TWISTED TWINS" for your "ADVENTURES WITH A TWIST." Purple looks really awesome on the color than the green. That was so awesome that before you two even drove the car off the lot, you had someone wanting to take pictures. That was EPIC! A friend of mine had one of these cars and trouble closing the trunk. He found out you have to lock the truck with the key when you close it.

Steve Magnante recommends a couple of Mopar guides that you should prob keep in your library. I've owned a 73 Road runner and it does not have a wing. It has a power bulge hood. Its just a Satellite with a good option package. This is one of them Prettied up Pigs to sell for $$$.

One concern is the water leaks - windshield and trunk. Does the am/fm work? This radio should have the connectors for a factory cassette deck that not only plays cassettes, it also records from a microphone that came with the unit (dictation) and records off of the radio (1971 - 1973 option). The 318 is a good little motor- only issue was the timing chain due to the plastic coating on the gears. Good luck with the car!!!

Yes. A wheel that has held up and still looks good. I have a set of 14 inch ones like the ones on the video. It would be better for tire choices if they were 15's.

The title is easy enough to figure. When I titled my '71 Roadrunner that had been sitting for 29 years recently, the woman at the DMV asked what model the car was, "Road Runner" I told her, and "RDR" she put on the title. No mystery, your car is a Satellite.
