I want to build it as if i was to walk into a dealership in late 1968-early 1969, and sit down, and order the car how I wanted. Yeah we all would love to order that One of One HEMI car, but I'm talking something the was realistic in the day. Remember most young people back then, made around $1.25 an hour, and while that HEMI option might seem cheap now, but it sure wasn't then. Plus add in insurance costs, and you see why so many of these cars were littering the for sale ads a few months after being bought new.

Here is how I would have ordered mine, and building today:

1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite

383 4 Bbl Super Commando

4 speed Adds $$ ?

B7 Blue with Black interior (although Pewter interior has crossed my mind)

Center console Adds $$ ?

Interior light package Adds $$ ?

Tachometer Adds $$ ?

AM 8 track stereo Adds $$ ?

3.23 Sure Grip rear

Disc Brakes Adds $$ ?

Tinted glass Adds $$ ?

3 speed wipers Adds $$ ?

I'd get the basic wheels, ONLY because I'd be installing new Keystone Kustomags mags the day it was delivered.

So, how would YOU order your new Mopar???



Making only $1.25/Hr, many didn't check many options because of added cost.
