For Sale: 1969 Plymouth Satellite in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite 2 Door Hardtop

The Plymouth Satellite was introduced as an up market variant of the Belvedere in 1965, a niche market, like the similar Sport Fury and VIP in the Fury line. The 1969 Satellite and Sport Satellite both offered five models: a four door sedan, a two door hardtop, a convertible, and six and nine passenger wagons, though the following year the Sport Satellite lost its convertibles. In all, eight engines were available for the entire Belvedere lineup, though not in all models. They ranged from the 225ci slant six, through V8s of 318ci, 340ci, 383ci, 440ci, and the 426 Street Hemi.

For consignment, a 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite 2 door hardtop showing 95,405 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This is a numbers matching Mopar owned by our consignor since 1976 when he purchased it from the original owners. He followed the hot rodding trends of the time to make the car faster, but began refreshing the car in 2016 with maintenance, mods, and other work meticulously documented along the way.

Exterior
B-body greatness is enhanced by the Sunfire Yellow paint in two glossy two stage application with the black vinyl top providing a classic contrast. Beyond the doors resides a long panel and just like the front fender, contains a body line that is subtle but made more evident by the shadowing pale yellow provides. The sheer length bookends the flat decklid with a panel that is adorned with some polished trim and name plate. Fantastic tail light represent 60's simplicity and have always appeared muscular, underscored by a straight chrome bumper and two down turned exhaust tips. Mopar's predilection for simple front fascia is here too, bearing a family resemblance to other B-bodies of the time, and the dual headlights across a straight grille might have been pedestrian in '69, looks aggressive today. 15-inch American Racing wheels are the shoes here and whatever dust they kick up is blocked by tasteful polished splash guards at each wheel opening. The paint, metalwork and other trim are in immaculate condition and we could find no exterior imperfections.

Interior
Black paint sandwiches a vinyl panel and woodgrain insert on the doors and the black grain makes them especially handsome with both doors presenting cleanly. Stitch patterned black bucket seats with headrests occupy the front and along with the rear bench, could pass for showroom examples. A tachometer is perched on the column of the original steering wheel and leads to the horizontal instrument panel that briefly interrupts the run of simulated wood that flows the width of the dash. Embedded in the wood is an AM radio while mounted underneath are some added gauges for oil and water. From there, woodgrain is once again used to face the center console housing the shifter that cants rearward for easy access and it's all in remarkably good condition. Black loop carpet floods the floor, a perforated headliner graces the ceiling, and a plaid vinyl mat cloaks the trunk. If you're not already impressed, hold on to your hat, we're about to dive into the engine bay.

Drivetrain
Show ready clean is the numbers matching 383ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, an Edelbrock intake, and Direct Connection valve covers. Headers also make an appearance under the hood. The motor is backed by the numbers matching and resealed A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission with reverse manual valve body that sends power to the 8 � " rear with 3.91 gears. In addition to the clean power plant, the paint on the inner fenders and underside of the hood is very nice.

Undercarriage
Exterior, interior, engine, and now underside make this car a grand slam! It's as clean as can be, beginning with the dual exhaust that flows through Dynomax mufflers and dumps to the outside with chrome tips. Drum brakes all around and the suspension is composed of torsion bars up front leaf springs in back. The absence of surface rust and errant fluids along with clean surfaces is impressive.

Drive-Ability
The 383 is no slouch and this well maintained car starts, runs, idles, stops, and handles like it was 1969 all over again, and maybe a little better than that. As every item was addressed along the way, not surprisingly, all functions operate as they should on this straight B-body. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

A more understated performance car from the muscle car era that's been much loved, well maintained, and is fully functional. Of course, the icing on the cake is the numbers matching drivetrain. This is a stunning Satellite now ready for its third owner, so make like Space X and rocket over to Classic Auto Mall!
