1968 Plymouth Satellite on 2040-cars
Woodford, Virginia, United States
|
For sale is
a 1968 Plymouth Satellite 4-door sedan. I am selling this car for my
father who is the second owner. This is an original numbers matching
Plymouth with original 318 engine (rebuilt) and the original stock
interior. This car is in good to very good condition. It must be seen and
driven to truly appreciate it. The car has 74,260 original miles on
it. The motor was rebuilt in 1997, when the car had 70,000 miles on it,
to its original specifications. The motor rebuild included a distributor
rebuild, carburetor rebuild, new fuel pump, and water pump. The original
air cleaner assembly is also available, but it is not installed on the car at
this time. Car also includes the factory air conditioning system.
In order to make the AC functional, the car simply needs a belt installed and
the system recharged. Otherwise, no additional aftermarket or restoration
parts have ever been included on this car.
The exterior
of the car is in very good condition. The car was originally white and a
repaint was applied to the car when my father bought the car to ensure that the
sheet metal retained its excellent quality. The only noticeable area that needs reconditioning body work is around the base of the rear window along the trunk seam. The previous owner had used body putty to fill in some small rust spots. The only other noticeable spots of rust on the car are at the bottom corner of the two front
doors. Otherwise, the sheet metal on this car is in very good
condition. There is no rust on the under side of the hood or the trunk
lid. Additionally, there is no rust in the engine compartment or
trunk. The frame, fender wells, and under carriage of the car has no
rust. The fender trim, window
trim and door handles specifically need to be reconditioned or replaced.
The bumpers on the car are the original bumpers that came on the car. We
have never been able to find replacement bumpers exactly like these, with the
rubber bumper guards, so we chose not to replace them. Otherwise, they
could easily be replaced with new chrome bumpers. You will find very
few of a similar model year Plymouth (whether Satellite, Road Runner, or
GTX) with original sheet metal in this condition. In fact, this car could
also be an excellent donor for a Road Runner or GTX rebuild. The interior of the car in in very good condition. The interior is the original Green never restored and never reconditioned. The seats are in very good condition. The carpeting is original and in good condition. The floor pans have no rust in them and are in very good condition. The dash is original and in fair condition with only a couple minor cracks. The original thumbwheel radio is installed in the car but is not hooked up. The dash is missing the factory bezel. The door panels are likewise in very good condition. The small parts (such as door handles and window cranks) show signs of wear and age and probably should be replaced. Very few cars of this age will have as nice an interior without having been reconditioned. Buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup. Purchase requires $500 non-refundable down payment within three days of auction end. Balance of payment is required prior to or at shipping or pick up date. I accept PayPal or cashier's check. If you have any questions or require additional information, please leave me a message with a phone number and I will contact you as soon as possible.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
