This superb classic Mopar is a real head turner looking like it was
plucked straight from Woodward Avenue during the heyday of Detroit
Street racing. The bright red paint is well applied over
well-executed bodywork. The finish has been well-maintained and
polished to a rich luster. The front and rear bumpers appear to be
original unrestored units showing some light patina and a few light
dings however still present with a deep shine. All the factory
stainless is present and has been well maintained and polished to a
brilliant glow. The blacked-out steel wheels add a serious
no-frills vintage street racer vibe to this mean Mopar, with 15 X7
wheels up front wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A P235/60R15 with
15 X 8 wheels out back wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A P275/60R15
rubber. This combination gives the car a subtle but menacing
stance. Inside the black interior has been restored with all-new
vinyl seat covers correctly embossed with the Satellite Emblem. The
front and rear side panels have been replaced with new units and
new carpet has been installed. A Grant 3-spoke aluminum wheel with
wood rim, Sun Super Tach, and a set of Summit Racing mechanical
gauges give the interior a vintage high-performance look. The
original AM radio is still in place and the dash trim could use
some cosmetic restoration yet still exhibits well. The trunk is
solid with no signs of rust through and features a new vinyl floor
covering and some of the original bumper jack tools. Under the hood
sits a 440 V8 that was completely rebuilt in 2015 by A&J
Automotive who bored and stroked the block to 505 CID. This big
block has been topped with a set of Edelbrock Aluminum heads filled
with competition Ferrea valves and Lunati racing valve springs. A
Lunati camshaft and lifters operate the valve train. A dual-feed
high-performance 4bbl carburetor sits atop an aluminum Edelbrock
Torker II and a set of custom Schumacher nickel-plated headers
expel the spent gases. Power transfers through a Chrysler A833
4-speed outfitted with a Ram flywheel and performance clutch and
pressure plate. Final drive duties are handled by a Chrysler 3.23:1
Sure Grip rear differential. The floors and frame rails are all
rust-free and have been lightly undercoated. The suspension has
been upgraded with Mancini Racing springs and shackles in the rear
and a Mancini Racing steel strut set and racing torsion bar set.
The steering linkage has all been replaced along with new shocks
front and rear and new suspension bushings. The brakes have been
completely gone through and upgraded to power assist with front
disc brakes. The brake lines, and rear brake cylinders in the rear
drums have all been replaced. The engine rumbles nicely through a
dual exhaust system with H-pipe and performance mufflers. With
tailpipes that exit through the rear underneath the bumper. This
car comes well-documented including the original broadcast sheet
and owner's manual. Receipts for all the high-performance upgrades
and restoration are included detailing all the work completed. This
car is a really fun car to drive with its high-powered big Block V8
and 4-speed manual transmission and will have you smiling ear to as
you run it down the boulevard. Please call if interested or e-mail
with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
