Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this highly documented 1965
Plymouth Satellite for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. Some of our
favorite cars are those that that you never expect. This 1965
Plymouth Satellite is an unassuming car, a cool hardtop in Plymouth
Light Blue, but you'd never think that there was a predator lurking
within. Not quite a pure sleeper, but it's a subtle factory hot rod
that hits all the right notes with a 440 cubic inch big block and
an automatic 3-speed waiting inside. Chrysler marketers weren't
that talented in the paint naming department, but the CC1 "Plymouth
Light Blue" paint on this car is indeed its original color. It's
bright, clean, and perfect for a car with serious blasting powder
under the hood. The sleek lines of the '65 Satellite mean that you
really need to nail the bodywork, and with straight panels and
crisp details. You already know that we love the cantilevered
hardtops that Chrysler was turning out during this period, which
gives the car an industrial strength look, that's both attractive
and a little intimidating. The two-toned blue vinyl interior flows
well with the exterior theme. It's clean and uncluttered, but the
patterns on the seats make it look upscale and the dashboards on
these cars have always been somewhat remarkable in their design.
All gauges are working properly. A set of auxiliary gauges have
been installed under the dash in the usual location. The factory AM
radio is not currently working, but the engine sounds so good you
won't even miss your favorite station. The big 440 cubic inch V8 is
a perfect fit in the Satellite's engine bay and it's so clean and
tidy that you can see where all the money was spent. Mopar
Performance dress-up parts work well with the aluminum max wedge
flat top crossram intake manifold and Hemi Orange paint on the
block, so it looks fast before you even turn the key. The 440 block
is punched to 30 over. Dart 440 aluminum heads, 1.6 roller rocker,
and crank forged steel chambered journals, balanced. The intake
gasket and heads were ported so they all flow the same. Exhausted
ported the heads, gasket, and manifold. Additional upgrades are a
Hemi 80 gallon per hour fuel pump, light weight hi-amp starter,
roller cam, MSD electronic ignition, aluminum radiator, power
steering, power brakes and a new transmission by AZ Precision
transmission. Block number 2536430-9, intake 2402728-1, Edelbrock
carbs 1407 9275 and 1407 2416, exhaust manifold 2402334-1 and
