Vehicle Description
This 1965 Plymouth Satellite has the right combination of
originality, upgrades, and attitude that makes mid-60s Mopars so
special. From the handsome styling, to the unique interior, to the
big 413 V8, this neat hardtop is a seldom-seen Dodge that delivers
performance and big car comfort in one sleek package.
The Dark Blue seen here is a professional respray of the
factory-correct color. So you get the benefit of looking right for
the era, but now with a standout shine. Its luster is perfect for
highlighting this Plymouth crisp lines. Plus, there's added
attraction that comes from the well-defined panels. The doors open
and close with authority, and everything lines up rather well. Just
as crucial to highlighting this Mopar is the brightwork, which is
all present and quite nice. It helps feature the extra-wide front
end, angular hardtop, and shows off the grille that was exclusive
to this first-year Satellite. This has such a period-correct look
that they even updated the wheel package with vintage Keystone
Klassic units, and the redline tires are Mickey Thompsons! So the
overall impression is a car where they made some nice investments,
and it's all about keeping it an old-school speed machine.
Inside the sea of blue continues. This is a well-coordinated look
on the dash, door panels, headliner, carpeting, and the artful
center console. The seats look particularly nice with the two-tone
blue with the intricate inserts that even include the Plymouth
logo. Even the little details are nice, like the working cabin
lights, matching seat belts, AM radio on display, and correct trunk
mat. The steering wheel fits into the color theme, and it give you
a clean view to the clean factory gauge package. It's the kind of
overall presentation where you can tell they made a real investment
here just so you could roll down all the windows on this hardtop
and show off the interior with pride.
This was at the dawn of the muscle car era, and this one celebrates
it correctly. It's an era-correct 413 cubic-inch big block V8. We
have a rebuild receipt from 2007, and the presentation today shows
that they wanted to invest in correctness, right down to the Mopar
turquoise on the block and intake. You'll also spot worthwhile
upgrades, like the Champion aluminum radiator that helps keep this
mighty motor running cool. The big V8 fires up readily as it
inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor, and the dual
exhaust gives you an awesome Mopar rumble. The three-speed
automatic transmission has a stout construction to handle the
power, and at the same time it makes cruising easier, too.
The sale comes with an original sales brochure for this first-ever
Satellite. So when you combine the vintage looks and big power with
an affordable price, you know this is a great deal that won't stick
around here for long. Call today!!!
