Vehicle Description
This 1967 Plymouth Satellite convertible has the right combination
of originality and great performance upgrades - like the 383 V8 and
four-speed stick. So from the handsome styling, to the roaring
exhaust, this neat droptop is a seldom-seen Mopar that delivers
performance and big car comfort in one sleek package.
The yellow beige with black top is the exact kind of color
coordination that gives this car the right sophisticated first
impression. The sheetmetal is nicely creased in the right places,
so it doesn't need extra trim to look good. In fact, we love the
crisp lines that start at the headlights and flows almost
seamlessly along the straight body until they meet the taillights.
And speaking of the taillights, they have terrific appearance with
the red surrounded by ribbed chrome. This is continued along the
back panel for a very harmonious presentation. It's this level of
detail that tells you they really paid attention to this one during
its restoration. That makes sense considering the rarity - barely
over 2,000 Satellite convertibles were produced in '67. But more
than just look good, the Torq Thrust wheels and redline tires
remind you this came from a great era in muscle car motoring.
With the touch of a button, the black vinyl roof powers down to
reveal a full black interior. So you get the great yellow and black
appearance with the top up or down. The seats have a well-defined
pattern that really grabs attention. These were midsize cars by
1960s standards, and today that means plenty of room to carry
everyone. Thanks to the split-bench up front, the fold-down armrest
means more individualized comfort when cruising solo. We know
you'll love all the great touches on this one from Plymouth logo
steering wheel, to the artful gauges, to the original AM radio
that's still cranking out tunes. But the Hurst shifter boldly
poking out of the floor also tells you there is something special
under the hood.
The engine bay is filled with Mopar power. It's a 383 cubic-inch
big block that the consignor states was installed by a Kentucky
performance shop. And it certainly has an aggressive look as the
full blackout package comes with the Mopar Performance ribbed valve
covers and large air topper. The big V8 inhales deeply from an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as
long tube headers feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Best of all, you
have complete control over this monster motor and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. In fact,
control is really a central theme to this Mopar. That's why you
have upgrades like newer bushings and thick sway bars front & rear.
Plus, there's power steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of BF
Goodrich T/As.
Here's a rare and powerful Mopar that's also built to be a fine
cruiser. This is the distinctive classic for those who like to
drive. So something this appealing won't stay long in our showroom.
