The Satellite was already approaching its end in 1973, as the production stopped in 1974, so Plymouth wasn't necessarily committed to delivering major improvements for this model year.
However, the 1973 Satellite came with front-end styling improvements, especially on the two-door coupe and hardtop models.
Otherwise, the Satellite was the same car, eventually waving goodbye to the Plymouth lineup to make room for the Fury.
The three Satellites you can see in these photos have another goal: they hope to morph into a Road Runner.
The owner posted the trio on Craigslist, claiming the vehicles require a complete restoration, but the yellow and red cars only need "a Road Runner hood" to become a clone. The green sibling doesn't require more fixes either, though considering the cars look like they've been sitting for a long time on the side of the road, the chances are they still need major fixes.
The yellow Satellite left the factory in the Sebring Plus trim and lots of options, including bucket seats and Rally gauges. It spent its entire life with the same owner until it was purchased and left to sit for several years.
The green Satellite doesn't come with anything special, though it looks very solid and still flexes highly desirable parts, such as the front bumper and the grille.
The red Satellite was also born with the Sebring Plus treatment but now lacks many parts, including the steering wheel and the instrument panel.
All three Satellites rolled off the assembly lines with 318 V8s under the hood and now hide the typical rust problems. However, none of the vehicles looks wreaked, though buyers should know that one Sebring comes without a title. The green model is the most solid, though the yellow looks like the right candidate for a complete restoration with some help from its two brothers.
Assuming you're interested in this trio, no matter if you want to follow the seller's suggestion and convert them into Road Runners or just restore the Satellites to factory specifications, you can get the projects quite cheaply. The trio can be yours as a complete package for $3,500, but the owner is also willing to let them go separately.
The yellow car is ready to go for $2,500, but the green Satellite carries a $1,500 price tag. The red sibling is the cheapest, considering the missing parts and title, so you can get it for the price of a new iPhone, costing only $1,000. Buying the full package is by far the best option for anyone, regardless of their project and the version they want to restore, as the other two cars can serve as donors for the missing parts.
You can find the trio in Sequim, close to Seattle, and you'll need a large trailer to take them home.
