Ok, boys, Anyone know this car by chance?


Pick it apart - https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/plymouth/satellite/2712124.html

Its at a dealer. I don't need to see anymore .

Dodge dog dish hub caps on a Plymouth?

Lots of not mopar high knowledgeable errors.

But something to really consider is what looks like a water stain on the rear portion of the headliner. Maybe rear window seal? But was this car left outside in rain? Or was it in high moisture environment.

I kind of wondered if they could've gotten more foam on the drivers lower seat cushion

I've gone over it a few times.

A local guy here is interested.

And most of what I see is minor restoration errors .mainly stuff painted over.


99% of which are easy to correct.

I've told this guy be prepared to spend $1000 on any car he buys to fix details.

What is the deal with the 'stain' on the ceiling? I would think fixing that correctly would be more than $1K alone

Almost looks like mold!!!

Yes, my worry is was some sort of very high moisture environment (dripping garage, partial flooding, etc).

That have a bunch of hidden deep down issues.

I'd take one of those endoscope cameras and look behind rear seat, quarter panels, inside holes in frame rails.

And take real close with high quality close up pictures around inside and outside of rear window gasket. Then blow them up on computer screen to see if there are traces of leakage or rust.

Also flash pictures from under the dash looking up into it. You can see rust from moisture buried under the dash frame area. There's always some flash rust. But looking for heavy fresh rust.

Yes, gas cap is on upside down, forget it

Not to mention....even wrong color

The dealer is in Montreal. Does your buyer really want to deal with the hassle of getting a car from there? Surely, there is a 66-67 hemi car for sale in this country, which would make things less complicated.

I have found most guys that have money just buy they car they want and worry later.
If they have big car $ they have the $ to pay to fix it.

Agreed, But this particular car cks all of this mans boxes. He wants real hemi, real 4spd 66-67 Plymouth B body.
Plus its in his reach budget wise . After looking for nearly a year. He had even resolved to the notion to just buy a clone. Or a very very nice 440 4spd 67 GTX if something came up.
But even they are $50k or more which was his original budget and he has decided to raise the budget a tad. But $75k is absolute top dollar So that puts this car within reach

He was told approximately $3200 - $3500 all in to get it across the border and delivered to Southern AZ



There is a 66 Coronet in Phoenix he may call on. But its asking $81k , and its a Dodge and an auto. neither of which is high on the desirability list. But its close and he is considering a ride up to take a look. And maybe see what its actually going to take to buy it.

That seems low for the distance involved, not to mention the processing at the border.

The same dealer has this 67 Hemi GTX listed:

The copper one is $125k meanwhile the red one is $75k. There's a reason or reasons, there's a $50k difference.

I realize your friend is looking for a 4-speed so that rules out the copper one but there's more to the story with the red one.

Mike.

He likes the copper/copper 67 GTX A LOT. But no way can / or will he write that ck.

C'mon, a quick trip to Montreal for your friend and yourself to check out both cars...

That copper X has the wrong speedometer housing.

Would be nice Mike, But dont see that happening now


Just got off the phone with a former owner of the Satellite.

My recommendation will be take the car is off the list.
Decent car , is real but he feels a weak driver at best. But its fast . But typical of a 30 year old refurbishment , Basically a lower quality single stage paint. Some interior work back then to a decent car.
Lifelong Canadian car so it most likely has issues on the bottom side. And he feels every piece of trim needs redone / replaced. And thats expensive on these cars
