I bought a original black paint 70 satellite ragtop and it should be showing in another week and cant wait to start cleaning it up and detailing it. I plain on keeping most of the original paint if it's decent enough. I wanted a 70 satellite ragtop to make into a roadrunner ragtop clone but after looking at how rare this car is I dont think I'll be able to get my self to do it to this car. It's original black ext with white top (black now) and white interior 383 auto on the column. I guess they only made 44 383 auto 70 satellite ragtops. I didnt relize this untill after I purchased it. I'll add some nice quallity pics when it shows up. The car looks really straight in the pics and has the numbers drivetrain and original fender tag. Not sure on the buildsheet yet. I cant wait to get it.

It's really nice. I would love to have a 1970 Belvedere/Satellite/Roadrunner/GTX in the future just to customize and have a nice cruiser.

Thanks, I bought it from a friend of mine who has had it for a while. I kept thinking about the car every so often and finially had some extra money and asked him if he wanted to sell it. I paid a little more then what I thought it was worth but I really wanted this car. I got a nice set of black steel rims and a new set of polyglas tires that I'm going to put on it. The back tires are the new L60's so it should look pretty meaty in the back. I'll put the correct dog dish hub caps on it as well.

looks like you have a great project glad you're gonna keep it a Satellite. nuthin wrong with a Satellite or Belvedere
are those 15" Magnums on the front? since you're gonna go doggy style...whatcha gonna do with those... ?:

I think there 14's not sure though. I'll let you know when it arrives.

Wow, can't wait to see more pictures of the car... I think your wise in keeping it a Satellite...

Good luck with the resto...

Well it looks it will be here before the weekend and I cant wait. The previous owner install the original 383 motor in it for easier transport. I'll post a bunch of pictures of it when it arrives.

Well I got the satellite finally and I love it. It's going to need a few places touched up but I plan on leaving about 90% of the original paint on it. The seats in it are correct but have the wrong covers on them, looks like a seat cover shop made them to match the orig but are off some. When I took the front bench out of it I never thought I'd find the original broadcast sheet under it as it was recovered but they managed to leave it there when they recovered it so that was a big bonus. Now my car is numbers matching with build sheet, fender tag and drivetrain. I wanted to see what it was going to look like with my new tires on it so I stuck them on it last night.

I also found out previous owner history and it looks like the was originaly from NJ. Any one remember a black satellite ragtop 383 in NJ back in the 80's?

Awesome find!!!!!!!!!!

Man thats so cool!

This is what I wanted it to look like but convertible of course. I still might add the air grabber hood to it and just keep the original hood tucked away.

You always find the coolest cars. Good call keeping it a satellite but I don't think the n96 hood will look bad

More pics please!

Hi Mark, I'll add a bunch this weekend I replaced the whole quarter on the drivers side with one that Rick gave me. I had it all on in one day, picked it up at Ricks on Sunday at 11:00 and had it all welded up that night on the car by 6:00 that night. I've been going out late at night to grind the welds down. Should be ready to paint it out this weekend. I also got the runner hood all ready to paint as well so that will be painted and installed this weekend. Then I'll clean the white interior up and install all of that. It was missing the main engine harness so I bought a new one from Jacks. I'll need that to make the top go up and down to see if it all works. Should have the engine ready to go back in this weekend as well. It's going to be a busy weekend but I'm looking foward to it(lol).

I`m having more fun with my barn fresh daily driver 67 GTX than my restored 68 Charger. In the future, if I decide to buy any more cars they will be like my GTX and your Satellite rag. No more over the top restorations for me. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

We'll I thought this was going to be easy car but as I dug into it I decided to repaint the whole thing(lol). Might as well get it over with. I should have the whole car painted by next week end. It's going to look just like the picture I posted above.
