1965 Plymouth Satellite

Belvedere Sedan

NO ENGINE

Automatic

Rebuilt, Rebuildable & Reconstructed

For sale is my 1965 Plymouth Belvedere Satellite. My father was the previous owner & I inherited the vehicle in 2000. As you can see, this was to be a ground up restoration, but that never happened. The years went by and this vehicle has done nothing but sit in storage. As much as I wanted to rebuild this classic, I have neither the time nor the money. This is a PERFECT project car, not to mention a rare find. This was the first year of the famed Satellite, and was intended as the top model in the mid-size Belvedere line. Now for a few details: As mentioned above: there is NO engine included with the car. Because of this, I was not able to have a title issued in the state of Nebraska. It is not considered a "vehicle" in the eyes of the state & therefore the winning bidder will be responsible for having a title issued. The winning bidder will also be responsible for the transportation of the car. Also, I currently am living in Pennsylvania and the car is being held for me in private storage in Iowa. I will do my best to answer any questions, but I haven't personally seen the car in over 10 years. Most inquiries will be directed to the gentleman currently storing the car for me. For those unfamiliar with this model, the following overview from Wikipedia may help: When a new, larger Plymouth Fury was introduced for 1965 on Chrysler's full-size C platform, the Plymouth Belvedere name was moved to Plymouth's "new" mid-size line for 1965, in what was really a continuation of Plymouth's full-size 1962–1964 models. The Belvedere Satellite was the top trim model in the series, above the Belvedere I and II. It was only available as a two-door hardtop or convertible. Offered with bucket seats and center console as standard, the Satellite was available exclusively with V8 engines. For 1965, the standard engine was the 273 c.i.d., and optional choices were the 318, and 361, 383 and 426 "Commando" engines. This 426 had the wedge combustion chamber design, and is not the 426 "Hemi" offered in 1966. The front end was simple: a single headlight on each side, and a grille divided into four thin rectangles laid horizontally. The concurrent Fury was given a "stacked" dual headlight design.The 1965 Satellite 2-door hardtop had a production run of 23,341. In standard trim the 2-door hardtop weighed 3,220 lb (1,460 kg) and cost $2,612.
