For Sale: 1968 Plymouth Satellite in Statesville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: • True one-owner car offered on consignment for the original owner • Still on the original title! • Odometer shows 42,342 miles, believed to be original • Recently rebuilt engine in preparation for sale! • Repainted in its original Metallic Green Poly with green interior • Outstanding documentation including original title, 1968 NC registration card, bill of sale, window sticker, owner's manual, warranty booklet, what's left of the build sheet, and original Chrysler CertiCard BODY OVERVIEW: This Satellite is exactly what seasoned collectors love to find! It is an honest, largely original car that hasn't been over-restored or tampered with. The body appears to be very straight and largely original, a rarity on any Mopar of this era. The trunk pan was replaced in the past, but that is the only known large sheet metal repair. As with any unrestored car of this vintage, there are some dings to be found, but nothing that detracts from the appeal. Make no mistake-anyone would be proud to own this car! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The car was repainted once in its original Metallic Green Poly many years ago. As an older repaint, it shows imperfections including scuffs, bubbles, and some solvent pop. It still presents nicely overall, but it wears its age honestly, which is exactly what you'd expect from an unrestored survivor. When looking at this Satellite through the lens of a survivor car, and a driver, the paint shows well! INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The green interior is highly original and remarkably well preserved. Materials, trim, and finishes show some natural aging but overall the interior is both authentic and very presentable. This interior tells the story of careful ownership rather than repeated restorations or hacky repairs. It isn't perfect, but to be so original at this age is impressive in and of itself! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The 318ci V8 engine was recently rebuilt to bring the car back to running condition after many years off the road. It starts, runs, and drives as intended, but buyers should approach this as a recommissioning project rather than a finished turnkey driver. The engine runs smoothly, and fires up easily even when cold. The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts well, but you do have to be careful when parking to make sure 'Park' has truly engaged. The tires are old and should be replaced, and the exhaust system will need attention. All of that being said, once the tires are replaced, there are no known defects that would prevent you from enjoying it as-is! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • True one-owner provenance with original title • Exceptional documentation rarely seen on cars at this price point! • Honest, unrestored character • Correct original color combination • A fantastic entry point into classic Mopar ownership! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Older repaint with visible cosmetic flaws • Not a fully restored or show-ready example • Could benefit from some general maintenance DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?: New tires and a replacement exhaust are immediate needs, and a general recommissioning is recommended before regular driving. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?: This Plymouth is perfect for the collector who values originality and documentation, or the Mopar enthusiast looking for an authentic, well-documented classic with a great story. If you want a one-owner Satellite that hasn't been restored, this is the one.
