I almost hate to do it, but I am.... I have long dreamed of sway bars and a hood for my Satellite, and was going to put an axle in my car, when the guy at the shop had a buddy with a Road Runner for cheap. I bought it, and after taking stuff off of it, I found that it might have been made in Canada...    I was wanting to know what the rear axle gear is... I found a broadcast sheet under the back seat, but it may have come from another vehicle. It's pretty rusty, the quarters and trunk floor are gone, the rear bumper mounts are shot, it has a towing harness, I wonder if it got dipped in the lake? It was a big block car, it was silver with I'm guessing green interior because the bench seat and rear seat were painted green, but the dash and lower door panels were black, the uppers, I can't tell if they have been painted over or not, but the seats that were in it definitely were. Somebody began jamming under the hood yellow, and the engine and trans are long gone. No tach and a 120mph speedo, column shift... the rear quarter windows are fixed... But was it really made in Canada? The door sticker says "Made In Canada", but the fender tag says USA.. It wouldn't surprise me if something shady went on with the tag, as it's been painted over, but the remains of the strobe stripe are still there, and the hood was silver. Has the big block inner fender... Sorry for the crappy cell phone picks. It's not too bad rusty, if it was a convertible Cuda I'm sure somebody could save it, but it's in worse shape than my car, and the rear is pretty rusty... small spot in the passenger floor also. It was also full of these:

Yes, a lot of 73 RR's were made at the Windsor plant so that's not unusual. If I'm reading the tag correctly, it had a black bench seat interior.
Seeking:
1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs.
Over 2,000 thanks to you!

Man I learn something every day... I did not know that. Thanks! I've never seen a broadcast sheet in person, but this one was on the rear seatback... I'm going to guess that it went to a 71? Somebody probably switched out the seats...

Windsor built many cars. The majority of Scamps,Swingers and other A/B/C body cars were built there. They even built RHD cars partially assembled for export to South Africa,and Austrailia. My Satellite wagon was built in Windsor late June of 1973.

Where exactly is the date on the fender code? My blue car was also built in 7-73 according to the door tag, but at Lynch Road. Wonder how close they were?

Watch out for those spiders . Those are bad news ,
the brown recluse is one of the most dangerous spiders in north America.
Often reffered to as the "fiddle back" spider by oldtimers , notice the very distinctive violin or fiddle shaped spot on the top front of this spider.

Is that a real brown recluse??? I've heard about them, but only seen wolf spiders with hair... there were at least four that I saw, (I got all but one) and a bunch of dead babies that looked like they hatched and didn't get very far behind one of the door panels. If that's a real one, that's awesome.
Yes, that's the real deal . One bite and you will probably loose a body part. They make the black widow look like a sissy.

I always said this site is educational! Spiders and flexible automation at the Windsor plant way before the Japanese thought of it!
