72 Satellite

A mate of mine's just bought this 72 Satelitte. It's been restored, no rot and all work done.
It's a 318 auto with a double flowmaster. The 20" rims are coming off and 15" Cragars are going on.
He's very chuffed.

Very nice!
I think the 20's look ok on this car - they certainly fill out the arches better than the Rallyes...

Probably the last model of car on my "to do" list.
He must be very pleased!

Yep very pleased. He had a 1970 Mustang before that for many years but realised it was the default American car and Mopar was more interesting.
I’ve mentioned the club, so should join up.

Controversial I know, but I think the more modern body style - compared to a Charger for example - can carry it off
No? Ok, i've just washed my mouth out - does San Miguel count?

Nice looking car, will look so much better without those nasty modern rims, they need to go back on a Mercedes or something...

Are there many of these on UK roads? I've only ever seen 2; one at Brooklands American Day a few years back and one at Speedfest.

I don't know how many but it isn't loads, you don't often see them around for sure.

Nice car. I know I'm in the minority - and standard would normally get my vote - but I actually like the modern larger rims on this.
Perhaps 20's are a bit too ostentatious but it certainly warrants something more sizeable than the 15' rallyes which just look disproportionately small, especially on the rear.
I'll get my coat.......
