Vehicle Description
Chrysler intermediates are versatile, good looking, and great for
road trips. There's room for you and three friends on a long haul
or six in a pinch. This 1966 Plymouth Satellite is a great example
with fantastic cosmetics, A/C, a fresh interior and a 440 inch mill
under the hood.
The deep, modern dark green paint has a bit of metallic in the mix,
and it looks great on this Satellite. It's a clean body with even
gaps and crisp lines, and the factory cantilevered roof line simply
looks fantastic from any angle. The GTO got scoops and stripes, but
the Satellite keeps it more subtle with a flat hood and not a lot
of flash to attract unwanted attention. Paint quality is fantastic,
better than your average cruise night special, and since you don't
see these very often, even the subtle color is sure to get a lot of
attention. Both bumpers are very nice, the grille is nice and the
tail panel is finished exactly as it should be. Slash cut exhaust
tips poke out from under the rear bumper and the beautiful shiny
trim that stretches along the tops of the fenders makes this car
look long and low.. Last but not least, the restorer NAILED the
stance, because this car sits perfectly!
Inside, you're greeted with bucket seats and new parts everywhere.
The light-colored buckets are a welcome change from all the plain
old black interiors, and gives the Satellite a very dressed-up
look. The original gauge bezels are in excellent condition, and are
joined in the dash by a factory AM radio. Underneath you'll find a
set of vents for an aftermarket A/C system that's a fantastic
addition to a car built for road trips (it does need to be
serviced, however). New green carpeting is on the floor along with
embroidered floor mats that look great. There's factory center
console between the buckets and with new door panels, new sill
plates, new armrest bases and more, it looks very polished indeed.
In the trunk you'll find a new mat and room for a three-week road
trip. Get packing!
Although this Satellite is an original big block car, the 383
2-barrel motor it left the St. Louis plant with was chucked in
favor of a stronger 440 cubic inch unit. Up top, there's a Demon
four barrel carburetor atop an Edelbrock intake manifold, along
with a set of finned Mopar Performance valve covers and an
open-element air cleaner to dress it up. Factory HP exhaust
manifolds pass on exhaust gasses, a new Sanden A/C compressor keeps
you cool while an big radiator keeps engine temps under control.
Power steering and front disc brakes make your life easier. Power
twists back through a stout Torqueflite 727 3-speed automatic
transmission to the 8.75-inch axle out back, a combination that's
been proven over the decades. Exhaust gasses pass through a nearly
new set of dual pipes with a crossover. The floors are solid and
painted black for low maintenance. Low-key blackwall radials wrap
around traditional Magnum 500s and look amazing with the rest of
the car's exterior.
This is the car you want if you're into driving for ice cream or
until a full tank of gas disappears down your favorite highway.
It's well built, powerful, good looking, and ready to go. Call
