Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery of Indy is pleased to present this beautiful 1968
Plymouth Satellite for your consideration. This is a very clean
RoadRunner Tribute that is nice from top to bottom... it even has
the BEEP, BEEP horn. This is a very nice conversion that features a
stunning turquoise paint over a black interior with a black vinyl
top. Under the hood is a very well detailed 440 backed by a firm
shifting Torq-flite transmission. The interior features a clean
black interior with a bench seat, aftermarket stereo, and
aftermarket tachometer. This beast rolls in American Racing Torque
Thrust wheels covered with BF Goodrich Raised White Letter tires.
This clean Satellite is a nice driving Muscle Car that is ready to
go to a car show, Car's and Coffee or cruise in. So, if you are the
market for a clean cruiser this is the ride for you! Drive this one
out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping anywhere in the
United States!
The earliest of the 1968 models were available only as 2-door
pillared coupes (with a B-pillar or "post" between the front and
rear windows), but later in the model year, a 2-door "hardtop"
model (sans pillar) was offered. The RoadRunner of 1968-1970 was
based on the Belvedere, while the GTX was based on the Sport
Satellite, a car with higher-level trim and slight differences in
the grilles and taillights.
The interior was spartan with a basic vinyl bench seat, lacking
even carpets in early models, and few options were available - such
as power steering and front disc brakes,1 AM radio, air
conditioning (except with the 426 Hemi) and automatic transmission.
A floor-mounted shifter (for the four-speed) featured only a rubber
boot and no console so that a bench seat could be used.
The standard engine was an exclusive "Roadrunner" 383 cu in (6.3 L)
B-series V8 engine with a 4-barrel Carter Carburetor rated at 335
bhp (340 PS; 250 kW) at 5200 rpm and 425 lb�ft (576 N�m) at 3400
rpm of torque.4 Its extra 5 hp (4 kW) rating was the result of
using the radical cam from the 440 Super Commando and a .25 raise
in compression to 10.5:1 (vs. 10.25:1 with the 330 hp (246 kW)
383). When air conditioning was ordered, the cars received the 330
hp (246 kW) version, because the radical cam specs of the 335 bhp
(250 kW) version did not create enough vacuum to accommodate air
conditioning. A $714 option was the 426 cu in (7.0 L) Hemi with 2X4
Carter AFB carburetors rated at 425 bhp (431 PS; 317 kW) at 5000
rpm and 490 lb�ft (664 N�m) at 4000 rpm of torque.
