1967 Plymouth Satellite (Red)

I bought this car in 2003 as part of a trade involving a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino.  The Chevy "SS" was a little too hot for an old man.  Besides, I’ve always been more of a MOPAR fan than A Chevy van.

This Satellite is a semi-survivor.  The engine has been rebuilt and it has a fresh coat of red paint.  The black naugahide interior appears to be original, as are the bucket seats.  The center chrome console houses the floor automatic shifter.

My long term plans for this car are simple: Enjoy this great ride and keep it garaged when the sun doesn’t shine.

1966 Plymouth Belvedere (White)

My son and I bought this car in 2004, from a small classic car dealership in Salt Lake City.  He specializes in MOPAR vehicle.  The exterior emblems call it a "Belvedere II."  However, the emblem on the glove box identifies it as a "Satellite."  The body was pretty straight; the interior was well worn.  It was going to be a father/son project, but that hasn’t worked too well since we live 950 miles apart.

This was a classic Plymouth station wagon of the mid 60’s which is what caught our eyes. The vehicle has been completely stripped to the frame and pellet blasted to bare metal.  Over my objections, my son is determined to replace the original 383 engine with a 440.  WOW! Sadly, the project has taken a back seat to my son’s other project ---- restoration of a 1974 Plymouth Trail Duster.  That project is close to the finish line.  Hopefully, his attention will directed back to the Plymouth wagon..

Our long term plan is to get it put back together.  Eventually the original white paint will be replaced by that spectacular fire engine red that will match the red 1967 Plymouth Satellite I own.
