Vehicle Description
Offering plenty of curb appeal and featuring a solid, straight body
draped in a high impact shade, this 1972 Plymouth Satellite is an
outstanding representative of its model in the midst of its
eye-catching third generation. It drives nicely and is running
strong, propelled by a vital small block beneath its hood that's
been enhanced with some great upgrades to increase its
capabilities.
This sharp Plymouth now wears a vibrant rendition of purple and the
exterior really injects visual energy into its lengthy but agile
form, providing a thoroughly convincing early '70s muscle car vibe.
The magnetic hue is sure to entice passersby to stop and take a
lengthy look, and the overall condition of the exterior will keep
them staring. The paint has quite a shine to it and you won't find
any serious blemishes to detract its magic - a simple buffing
session would also elevate the accompanying chrome, which appears
to be original, to top form and max out this classic's appearance.
The subtly inclined stance frames the futuristic shape of the
Satellite to perfection - the model received a fairly thorough
revamping the year before this '72 debuted and you can see why the
resulting aesthetics made it such a coveted ride. The black vinyl
top that crowns the front portion of the roofline is also in good
shape.
The interior remains in its factory configuration and makes for an
enticing vintage driving environment. As you climb inside, you can
see some areas that will require a little attention - particularly
the instrumentation, which presents well behind a nice clear lens,
but will need a going over to get back online - but, just as is the
case with the exterior, the classic MoPar feeling emanating from
inside the doors is unmistakable. Both rows of black vinyl bench
seating are looking solid, the door panels are in matching
condition and the dash pad, likely original, has yet to develop any
marked issues, which is always a welcome sight in UV-sensitive
black upholstery. There's plenty of room on hand in the trunk and
with the deck lid open you can see that the inner fenders and
wheelhouses are very solid, though the carpet lining the floor
could use a replacement. This stylish cruiser left the factory with
air conditioning already on board, and it shouldn't take much to
have the feature back up and running.
This Plymouth is ready to hit the road just as soon as you get it
home. It's reassuringly road ready, with a 318 cubic inch V8
standing by underneath the hood that's been fortified with an
aftermarket intake and Edelbrock 4-barrel carb as it sits in a
razor sharp engine compartment - it no doubt took a lot of work to
get things looking as impressive as they are. Not only do the inner
fenders and firewall wear color-matched paint, but even the power
booster is decked out in the same fashion. The powerplant sends out
a smooth, but commanding exhaust note as it teams with a 3-speed
automatic transmission, while a recently replaced gas tank ensures
it receives an untainted supply of fuel. Power steering makes this
substantial ride easy to navigate, while power brakes at both ends
bring nice, easy stops to a set of staggered American Racing Torq
Thrust wheels - 14" in front and 15" in back - wearing Mastercraft
tires.
A stylish and solid MoPar classic is always a welcome sight and
this 1972 Plymouth Satellite is sure to bring smiles to both owner
and onlookers for miles and miles to come. Call today!
