Vehicle Description
This is an award-winning and highly documented 1966 Plymouth
Satellite. This was born with an ultra-desirable dual-quad Hemi 426
V8, and so it has been restored and preserved with the utmost care.
So dig into the details, but you already know this slick black
coupe is true Mopar royalty.
These cars can look incredibly sophisticated in the right color,
and the fresher application of black gets it just right. It has a
great clearcoat luster in the sunshine, which really brings out the
beauty of the sheetmetal. So this upper-level Satellite upholds its
premium image from the first impression. These intermediate Mopars
had a full-size look with a wide stance and confident lines in the
cantilever roof. And at the same time, they integrated some
sleekness with the rounded curve built into the door line. It
created one of the most unique and handsome designs on the streets
- and it was only available for a few short years. And while the
color compliments the design on this one, there's also much more
that's grabbing your eye. The full-width grille, full-length trim,
and shining chrome bumpers are terrific for the premium accenting.
Plus, the red inserts in the rear and redline tires on Mopar road
wheels are subtly bold hints at the beast within.
The pillarless hardtop profile makes it easy to show off the
interior, and when it looks like this, you're going to love
showcasing the inside. The factory-correct premium black vinyl
bucket seats have an intricate pattern that really grabs attention.
And the rest of the seating, door panels, carpeting, and headliner
are just as deep and dark. But this is far from a sea of darkness.
There's plenty of bright trim throughout the interior - especially
on the retro-cool center console. We know you'll love all the great
original touches on this one, including the working AM radio. There
are also some well-done upgrades that were thoughtfully installed.
For example, you have a cleanly installed full Stewart Warner gauge
upgrade with the large column-mounted tach and auxiliary trio.
These are period correct units that look like they could have been
done on day one. Plus, a performance car like this needs a
three-spoke steering wheel, but the original unit also comes with
the sale. In fact, there is a trunk full of original components
that go with this coupe.
You can instantly see they also invested heavily in keeping the
engine bay looking quite factory fresh. That's because this one was
one of the few Mopars born with the 426 Hemi V8 with dual
four-barrel carburetors on top. That kind of history makes it
instantly desirable, but what makes it a true star is that this
block is believed to be original to the car. Yes, this shows as a
full pedigree dual-quad Hemi Mopar! Even the four-speed manual
transmission and 3.54 limited-slip rear end are believed to be part
of this highly original package. All the documentation on this one
supports that it has all the key factory components, right down to
the Hemi-specific front suspension. That makes it a street-eating
coupe that gets invited to the best high society car show
lawns.
The sale comes with a significant documentation file, including
build receipts, owner's manual, service manuals, a reproduction
window sticker, reproduction buildsheet, reproduction windows
ticker, photos, and Galen Govier documentation. This coupe is so
top-quality it's an award-winner and it was shown at The Quail
during the 2015 Monterey Car Week. So if you're a true muscle car
connoisseur, don't let something this distinct slip away. Call
