Vehicle Description
This 1966 Plymouth Satellite takes classic elements like its
correct 383 V8 and correct colors. But as you look through the full
package, you can see that this one has been given some big
investments. That means fuel injection, overdrive, an A/C interior,
and plenty of thoughtful touches that make this muscle car that's
ready to drive near or far.
This coupe is done in its factory-correct Dark Red Metallic. This
color was updated later in life to make sure it has a quality gloss
to keep the car looking good. And the idea of the right investments
to make this the best classic possible is a theme you're going to
see throughout. The '66 Satellite had some of the most well-defined
lines around, and so it's great to see a classic with well-done
sheet metal, good gaps, and doors that close with confidence. And
more than just the paint and panels, this one really gets the
details right, too. We know you love features like the hood
ornament, red detailing in the rear panel, and insignia badge at
the base of the hardtop roof. And those Mopar Road wheels have
redline tires to coordinate with the paint and add to the sporty
attitude.
The Satellite was the premium end of the Belvedere line, and the
interior likes to really remind you of that. Front bucket seats, an
artful center console, and an overall clean and dark appearance
make sure this looks like a premium Plymouth. And this is nicely
detailed everywhere from the pattern embossed in the upholstery to
the working courtesy lights. This is the kind of coupe that wants
you to enjoy the drive. That's why there are nice upgrades like
cold-blowing air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo w/USB input.
The classic Plymouth steering wheel has thin spokes so you can
easily see the factory speedo as well as the upgraded large
tach.
This was at the dawn of the muscle car era, and this one celebrates
it correctly. It was born a 383 cubic-inch V8 car, and the block's
build date corresponds to within a few days before this coupe's
build date. So it's hard to believe this is anything but the
original motor. But originality is only part of this car's allure.
This was rebuilt within the last few years, right down to the
pistons and bearings. Plus, it was upgraded with aluminum heads, an
Edelbrock Performer intake, and topped with a Holley Sniper
electronic fuel injection. This mighty motor not only fires up
readily, but the header-fed dual exhaust lets it exhale with plenty
of power. There are even electronic cutouts for when you really
want to bring the thunder. The A727 Torqueflite three-speed
automatic transmission was fully rebuilt, and now it even has Gear
Vendors overdrive. It's the kind of overall setup where you're
going to feel plenty of power, but there's comfort present, too.
The power steering, power brakes, and upgraded front discs with
drilled & slotted rotors all contribute to an overall easy cruising
feeling in this muscle machine.
The sale comes complete with the Mopar broadcast sheet, Certicard
warranty card, and maintenance receipts. So whether you're a fan of
Mopars or just love high quality, you know this is the coupe for
you. Call now!
