Description
1973 Plymouth Roadrunner Satellite. Literal barn find in Missouri. Vin # shows that the car is a Satellite. What we know is that someone put a lot of time and effort into this transformation into a roadrunner.
I found the car behind a garage in Missouri where it had been sitting since 2010. That owner picked up the car from the owner's mother in Mississippi where it had been sitting he believes since 1989 when the owner passed away. The mother knew absolutely nothing about the car.
From all indications and no paperwork other than a clean title and what little the mother knew we believe that the car was done in 1984. It needs a complete restore. It has rust and needs most of the interior redone.
It appears to have all appropriate decals on the exterior and correct Roadrunner emblems on dash and steering wheel. Have all 4 Rally wheels and trim rings. The tires are from 1984 and have about half tread left on them.
Two of them do not hold air at all. I had to crawl under the car to find out what engine it has. The block numbers show that it is a 1975 360. This engine has a factory Chrysler 4 barrel intake with an aftermarket Holly / Edelbrock four barrel carburetor and dual exhaust.
The engine appears to run great with a very quick throttle response. I installed a new fuel pump, battery and new gas tank while the car was still in Missouri so I could drive it up onto a car trailer using the spare tire and rear left tire that holds air for about 5 minutes. The seats are in fair condition with no rips or tears.
The door panels are in Fair shape but held on with lathe screws across the bottom instead of the factory clips. Dashpad, rear deck, carpet and headliner are toast. It has a roadrunner Dash panel with rally gauges.
It also has an automatic transmission and aftermarket sway bars front and rear. The car currently has a broken passenger door window. It's spent one week at my brother-in-law's Farm and ended up getting broken with a rock thrown by a lawn tractor.

Classic Plymouth Road Runner Buyer's Guide
The Plymouth Road Runner launched for the 1968 model year as Chrysler's budget muscle car — minimal trim, basic interior, but serious performance equipment under the hood. Plymouth licensed the Road Runner cartoon character from Warner Bros. for $50,000 and used the bird's "Beep-Beep" sound as the actual horn on early cars. Across thirteen years of classic-era production (1968-1980), the Road Runner became one of the most iconic Mopar B-body muscle cars ever produced — particularly the 1970-only Superbird (the NASCAR homologation special with the 19-inch nose cone and 24-inch tall rear wing). The 1968-1971 Road Runners are the muscle-era icons; the 1973-1975 cars represent the bargain entry into B-body Road Runner ownership today. This guide covers what every buyer should verify before paying premium money for any Road Runner variant.
