1967 Plymouth Satellite - $25,000 - Manitowoc, WI - All vehicle trades considered, including classics and performance.Here is an extraordinary Mopar B-body. This beautiful 2-owner 1967 Plymouth Satellite is originally from California and is absolutely as solid a car as you will find. Take a GOOD look at the underside pictures and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's truly amazing to think this car is 46 years old with 80k miles. All sheetmetal is original and all body panels are excellent. It is very hard to find a 60's era car this nice that hasn't been through a high dollar restoration.
The car has been repainted its original white color with correct silver rockers and pinstripe. It is all of very good quality and looks fantastic with a nice straight body. Bumpers and moldings are all original, as is the glass. The fender tag is present as is the original Certicard. Note the fender turn signals are working too.
The blue interior has new Legendary seat covers (front and rear). Seat foam has also been replaced for better comfort and less mess (no foam crumbs all over the carpet). The headliner is also new. The dash, carpet, door panels, and seat belts are all original. All gauges work along with the Moroso mechanical drive tachometer and the vacuum, temperature, and oil pressure gauges.
The drivetrain has been completely redone and has less than 10k miles. The original 273 ci motor has been replaced with a very nicely built 440 ci with 0.060" overbore. Highlights include Kieth Black hypereutectic pistons, polished rods, ARP bolts, and hydraulic lifters. Cylinder heads are 906 castings that have been ported and polished, and hold oversized vales (2.14" intake / 1.81" exhaust) with hardened seats. Final compression ratio is 9.70:1 so everything is compatible with pump gas . Carburetion is a Holley 750 cfm double pumper. This is a great running, reliable motor that idles smoothly and runs strong while never climbing above 180 degrees.
The motor is backed by a 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission with a shift kit. It has a Turbo Action torque converter with 2800 rpm stall speed. The rear end is an 8-3/4" unit with an Auburn Sure Grip differential and 3.55 gears along with new axle shafts. The car also has a new driveshaft , new drum brakes, and new rear springs. All shocks are new as well. It all contributes to a car that really is enjoyable to drive.
It is very hard to find a Mopar (or any 60's car) as solid and rust-free as this Satellite. Whether you enjoy it as-is or convert to a GTX or Super Stock replica, with its unbelievable sheemetal, great looks, fantastic drivetrain, and nice interior there is a lot to get excited about.
