    Yes, they certainly did. My 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus (Roadrunner body) with a 383 had blue plaid-like cloth with the faux wood trim. I think that's why I like it.

    I could not keep that Plymouth very long (teen) with all the tickets I got. I actually had to buy a slow Fiat 850 Sport 4 speed until my points disappeared over time.

    Photos are old and grainy probably taken with a Kodak Instamatic :hmm:

    Are the wheels not a current day revisit of these from the 70's?

    Was your Sebring was a 4-barrel? If so, if you removed the 383 decal, you would have had a real stealth car

    These are the wheels that I had on my 1971 'Cuda.

    For the 2008 Challenger SRT, the designers tried to mimic these classic chrome-styled road wheels. Check out the following video (start at the 3:15 minute mark).

    Just a 2 bbl. I put side pipes on it (LOUD) and chrome wheels too over time. Typical teen stuff. My neighbors must have loved me heading off to junior college each morning. :gunner:

    The interior is not my thing but I remember the plad and flower interiors of the late 60s and early 70's. Not my thing back then either!

    I think that cars like the AAR 'Cuda look best in bright colors, like Rallye Red.

    Back in the day, I almost bought a 1970 AAR 'Cuda. Instead, I bought this 1971.
