Newest addition to my modest collection- The Plymouth is is an LA built Satellite Sebring Plus with 90k on the clock, California car with ZERO rust on it. With the car is a fat folder of documents dating back to 1971 including the emissions check form dated February of '71 and sales invoice for $4400 and change with tax and DMV fees dated July of '71

Here is a break down of the fender tag so far, I'll try and pull the back seat to look for a build sheet. I did feel up under the dash and didn't find one on the glove box.

Major needs for the car is a pair of front seat covers and the dash pad replaced (a NOS one was provided with the sale) it also has a slight skip which I'm not surprised considering the reciepts indicate the car has only accrued 5000 miles since 1989! I bet the plugs are all fouled out. Car looks to have original paint and still has original pinstripes, however the rear "Plymouth" badge is missing and I'm looking for one now. It was held on with double stick tape from the factory so I'm not surprised it has gone missing.

Fender tag as follows-

E61 383-2 Barrel
D32 H-D A-727 TorqueFlite Trans
RP23
L1E
GY8 Paint Code: Gold Poly or Gold Leaf Iridescent
P6Y3 Trim - Premium, Vinyl Bucket Seats, Gold
GY4 Upper Door Frame: Unknown At This Time
C03 Build Date: December 03 1970
204847 Order Number: 204847
V4W Roof Type OR Color: White Canopy Vinyl Roof
U Built to Specifications for USA Order
B51 Power Assisted Brakes
C16 Console w/ Buckets
C55 Bucket Seats
G33 Left Hand Outside Mirror - Manual / Chrome
N95 Nox Exhaust Emission Control
R11 Music Master Radio AM
V6W White Longitude Sports Stripe
M25 Wide Sill Molding
Y16 Sales Bank Car
26 26 in. Radiator
END End of Codes
H51 Single Air /w Heater
M21 Roof Drip Rail Moldings

Car has an 8.75" rear axle with sur-grip, have not checked the gears yet. When I have a free moment I'll post more pictures and scans of the documents.

Plan for the car is to not modify it at all, its a rare car as is and enjoy it.

Since we were on a tight timeframe and wanted to play it safe instead of using the box trailer or driving it brought out the tow dolly for one last hurrah. The 1700 mile trip went without a hitch and yes we pulled the driveshaft! Rolled down the interstates at 65-75 mph without the Hemi breaking a sweat.

Last shot for the night.. Reading around a bit one site claims around 10,700 Sebring PLUS (SSP) were made in 1971, I'll have to do a bit more research on that though.

Now that's a sharp Sebring Plus!

Congratulations on finding it for a great price. Looking forward to more pictures.

Even though the car ended up in MI, I was told it has not seen snow in a few decades (if even then). Car is spotless and I have a DMV slip from California dated 1988. Between 1989 and 2013 the car only racked up 5000 miles.

What year was it? I have one sales receipt indicating that the last owner purchased the car some time in 2010. I have to finish going through the paperwork and do a timeline of the cars history when I get a spare moment. There are several dozen receipts along with the DMV and tax records and dealer sales invoice.
