Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1967 Plymouth
Satellite. This first-gen Satellite was born with Turbine Bronze
Metallic paint but comes to us today dressed in a coat of
driver-quality maroon paint sprayed in 2002. Up front, you'll find
a vertical Plymouth hood ornament that touts the 383 under the
hood, block letters spelling "PLYMOUTH" across the hood's forward
lip, and a horizontal grille beneath. At the sides of the grille
are dual side-by-side headlights with bezels and back plates that
are showing signs of wear. Beneath the grille is a painted bumper
that has some chips, scuffs, and touch-ups. The fenders have
"Satellite" script badges toward the forward edge and working turn
signal indicators up on top for the driver. Looking down the sides
you'll see wheel lip molding, ribbed body side molding with black
accents, bright window trim, and drip rail molding. This Satellite
has a great stance sitting on a set of Magnum 500 wheels with
white-letter BF Goodrich Radial TAs (P215/65R15s up front,
P275/65R15s in back). At the rear of the car is another painted
bumper (with some scuffs and scrapes like the front one) with dual
chrome exhaust tips peeking out from underneath. The trunklid is
dressed with a wide silver band that stretches side to side
featuring "PLYMOUTH" lettering and ribbed borders at the top and
bottom. This band and its trim flow into the wrap-around taillights
at the sides.
Lift the hood to find a tidy body-color engine bay. This Satellite
was born with a 383ci V-8 back in '67, but it now has a 1970 383ci
V-8 under the hood. We do not have any information regarding when,
where, or why the engine was replaced, but we know that it happened
before 1998 when the most recent owner purchased the car. The blue
big block is topped off with a 4-Barrel Holley carburetor, black
ribbed "Mopar" valve covers, and a black "Mopar" air cleaner.
Headers carry exhaust to the mufflers and out the rear with a
rumble. The big V-8 is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission (as
it was originally ordered) that puts down the power with a newer
Dana 60 rear end with 4.10:1 gears. Though this combination offers
great power for 1/8 mile runs, it would need a different gear to be
a freeway-friendly car. While under the hood you'll notice that
this is a manual steering car. Stopping power comes from manual
4-wheel disc brakes, with a dual reservoir up front and upgraded
drilled slotted rotors on the rear corners.
When you open the driver's door, courtesy lights on the center
console and the dome light pop on to illuminate a black interior.
The vinyl seats and door panels have been treated to the "premium"
interior package shared with the GTX that includes a "Western
Scroll" design that mimics tooled leather. The car was originally
ordered with this package, and the seats have been re-upholstered
with OEM-correct covers back around 2000. The door panels
themselves are in good condition, but the handles and window cranks
are showing pitting from age. The driver's door offers an interior
toggle control for the side mirror. Between the front bucket seats
is a factory center console with a storage box and shifter for the
4-speed. The console shows light pitting and the lock mechanism for
the box is no longer in place, it is lying in the box. The shifter
features finger-lifts and a black pattern ball. The crack-free
black vinyl dash pad sits atop a chrome-framed instrument cluster
ahead of the driver. There are working gauges for temperature, gas,
alternator, and oil pressure, but the speedometer and dash lights
are inoperable. There are 25,075 miles showing on the odometer
though the title reads "exceeds mechanical limits". Beneath the
gauges are controls for lights, the working 2-speed wipers, and the
fan and heater. Please note that the heat has been disconnected and
is inoperable. Cruisin' tunes come courtesy of a working Plymouth
Transaudio AM push-button radio. Ahead of the driver is an
aftermarket 3-spoke chrome and black steering wheel (horn inop.) on
a fixed column to which a SunTune II tachometer has been added.
Ahead of the front passenger is a glovebox with a "Satellite" badge
on the door and an original owner's manual inside. Underfoot is a
nice black hook loop carpet and overhead is a tight black vinyl
headliner. Back in the trunk, you'll find a plaid vinyl mat, 2
unmounted BF Goodrich tires, several boxes of original parts, a set
of black rubber floor mats, and a scrapbook for the car that
contains photos, organized receipts dating back to 1998, the
original hand-written Bill of Sale, the original dealer invoice,
and the original window sticker (now laminated).
This 1967 Plymouth Satellite is a car that you can get in and enjoy
today and it is an excellent starting platform for further
restoration. It's tough to find a factory 383 4-speed center
console Satellite these days, especially at this price, so don't
let this opportunity pass you by! Give our friendly staff a call
today and make this MOPAR your own!
