New to the forum - 73 Sebring Plus 360

Hello All - I'm new to the forum and am actually on here for a buddy of mine who is not exactly a fan of 'the interweb'.

He just picked up a 1973 Satellite Sebring Plus with a numbers matching 360/904.
Car is pretty much bone stock - and runs well enough. Originally the owner was asking $5,800.00 for the car - but my bud was able to talk him down to $3k even.

My question for you fine gents - since not much info is out there for these years/models - is:

Does anyone know the production numbers for this car/block set up?

Is the 360 in a 73 a rare option to find - the gent selling the car was trying to say it was - but then again, he was also trying to sell the car...

Reason for the questions is - after only owning this car for 6 months my friend has had numerous people ask to buy it - some almost tripling the amount her paid for it - which led me to believe the combination might be rare ... that or the guy offering just has a sentimental place for '73 Satellites?

Any input is massively appreciate:

Welcome, not sure but I thought '73's had 360's in station wagons only, offered last year 1974 in other models.

360 2bbl was for trucks Not special but it is worth way more than 3K for a clean example

Hate to rain on your parade, but there is no such thing as a 73 360 Mopar of any kind. The 360 didn't come out till 74, replacing the 340 from 73.

What are the first 6 digits of your VIN? That tells the story of the car.
