New guy - 71 Satellite
I've just made the jump to B-body land with a 71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus. It has the 383 2V, slapstick automatic, and what feels like highway gears (2.79s?). The guy I'm buying it from had it for a year and did a lot of good things: new vinyl top, replacement buckets, new grill, new brakes all around, new 4 barrel intake, front end, etc. He lost interest when a Charger came his way. The owners before him had it since 85 and had sanded it down, primered it, put headers on it, put in a racing seat...that was it in almost 20 years.
It was originally yellow with the black half vinyl top.
Here's a picture (it was raining).

I've had my Fury for almost three years, and I have been letting it sit as I waited for a GTX, Satellite, RR, or Coronet came along (i.e. something with two doors).
Here's my Fury (2nd owner, certicard, build sheet, blah, blah):

I'm hoping the 71 Satellite will one day rival my brothers 72 Sebring Plus (long sold). This picture was taken right after he painted it (he shot the paint himself):

Since I've been working on a c-body for so long, I'm sure to have a lot of questions for you guys.
Here's my first - I've never been crazy about yellow cars - the paint will inevitably fade to a horrible meringue color. So, what colors go well with a black vinyl top?
