Beautiful 1965 Plymouth SatelliteUp for your consideration is a very special car. This 65 Satellite has been hand built using only the finest parts, time and quality workmanship. The body was from the start, rust free and straight. It was stripped to metal, primed and painted in PPG Base/Clear and cut and rubbed the way it should be. The bumpers were rechromed in show quality condition. The grill and headlite bezels speak for themselves. As close to perfect as you can get. The suspension is all fresh with 4 new shocks and all new suspension parts. All new brakes were also installed with front discs and rear drums. Dual master cylinder and p-valve were also included in the kit. As for the drivetrain. A fresh 440 steel crank engine supplies the power with a set of nicely ported iron heads as well as a decent hyd. cam for good low end torque. We used a Edelbrock performer RPM intake and 800 CFM carb with inproved idle circuts for good clean street use, and coupled with 440 Magnum HP exhaust manifolds and two and a half inch head tubes into 3 inch flomasters get the exhaust done. A Mark Russo 727 Torqueflite with a 2600 RPM Hemi converter was used. As for the shifter. A custom setup from Hurst was used to give the appearance of a 4 speed . It uses a a direct rod style shifting unit as did the factory type floor shifter. That means NO burned up shift cables trying to route around hot exhaust tubes and no drifting shifts due to streched cables . You get the best of both worlds. The looks of a 4 speed, and the driveability of an automatic. The glass is all beautiful with the front windshield being NEW with a New gasket. Probably the nicest part of the car is the interior which is all new hand stiched in it's original double red colors with matching door panels, seats, carpet, and white headliner. The tires and wheels are period correct for 1965 with American Torquethrust D's and BFG/TA radials. It gives the car a great look. Please call with any questions you may have, as there is a ton I have not listed. 858-414-6972. As of Sunday, April 12, 2009, this awesome vehicle is up for auction on Ebay!
