This is a 1968 Plymouth Satellite convertible. I believe this car has its original 383 big block engine backed up by a 727 console shifted torqueflite. The rear is a 8 ¾ with 3.23 gears. Other options include PS PB and power top. The interior is in perfect shape and needs nothing, even the original rear door panels are in excellent shape which are very rare to find in this condition. There is a reserve on this auction, please don’t ask what it is. This car is also for sale locally and I will end the auction if it sells. Lets break it down by area. Drivetrain: The 383 runs well and is outfitted some period speed parts. It also has its original radiator. The trans is a torqueflite 727 and shifts as it should. There is a small exhaust leak at the flange where the manifold meets the exhaust system. The rearend has 3.23 gears and is nice and quiet. Suspension: It will need a rebuild but it drives quite nicely. I just put new KYB shocks on it It also has 4 wheel drum brakes with power assist. Stops okay and could use service. It has good tires and new Summit Star wheels in great shape. Undercarriage: It does have typical rust issues. It will need the left rear frame rail and the last few inches of the right one due to rust. It will also need floor patches, there are a few holes that are 1 inch in diameter and some pin holes. The front left frame rail will need a patch at the torque box. The Right side end of the torsion bar crossmember will need a patch too. Now this does sound like a lot but it is minimal and I really try to paint a honest picture for the new owner so that there are no surprises. Body: It will need quarter panel replacement, both quarters have been replaced poorly. The doors have rust in the lower corners. The front fenders look like they have surface rust as well as the hood. The inner fenders have small rust spots under the hood hinges. The rockers have rust where the quarter meets the rocker. The Dutchman panel and trunk lid are rust free. The chrome is actually in pretty good shape and all there. The outside door handles are inoperative. All windows operate as they should. The power top is in great condition, even the window is in great shape, and the top works perfectly. One of the top latches is missing the hook. I received this car in a trade and have not owned it long. Overall it’s a cool cruiser to enjoy for the summer and restore it over the winter. I have enjoyed it this summer with the top down and cruise around SoCal !! I encourage anyone that would like to bid to please inspect the car in person. This factory big block convertible is a ground level entry into soft top Mopars that can reach into the stratosphere when restored. For more pictures please visit the photobucket link below.
