New to this board and hoping there is more info and knowledge here than other forums.

I just picked up a 66 Plymouth Satellite out here in AZ, Apparantly the car has been parked since 1980 in a shed on a chicken farm. Car is all there minus the motor which is why it was parked in the first place. No dents, no rust, all metal trim is in awesome shape. the interior is a little dirty but otherise original and decent, previous owner did cut up the dash to install a stereo and put some holes in the doors for speakers. Checking the VIN# it came with a 361 2 bl, premium interior and A/C.

I have a 440 stroker motor and built 727 trannie that i'll throw in.
I'd really like to build this into a S/S replica car Big jacked up rear end, tall skinny tires up front swap out the hood for a fiberglass RO23 scoop piece. Anyone ever seen the 67 GTX Silver Bullit?? I'm thinking Silver paint on the car and saving the black interior.

Couple of pics. I have the headlight and tailight pieces, they were in the trunk.

There's tons of stuff from Google about it. Here's something from Car Craft -

The lilac paint on your car is very uncommon ...it flip flops around in varying light conditions.Much cooler than silver imo.

Mauve Metallic is a rare color and it looks awesome when painted fresh with todays paint.

Since I don't have the time or money to restore the car properly right now I may just throw in the 440 and other parts i have laying around and drive/race it. If I can get it running in time I may drive it from Phoenix up to the Mopars at the Strip In Vegas (march 20-22)

When you do get around to restoring the entire car...start a thread in the "Member Projects and Survivors Pictures" section. It is a fairly new section and any pictures you post will stay there for the entire build process. Welcome to Moparts!!!

Nice find but just so you know, that's a fiberglass copy of a 1963/1964 Max Wedge style hood scoop, not an RO23 scoop like the 1967 Silver Bullit ran.

Well I guess I am the odd man out on this one.. I say paint it any color you want and enjoy it.. I much rather see it in silver and on the road being enjoyed then it sitting in a barn at a chicken ranch waiting for that one special guy to come along with money falling out of his rear that wants a show perfect car...

Great find.. And keep us updated on it..

I'm not sure I follow;

- repainting silver means he'd drive it and repainting it mauve would mean it would be show perfect?

I think it would be the opposite; repainting it silver (properly) would take more time and effort and the car would have more of a chance to sit unused than an exterior only repaint in the original color.

He can do whatever he likes; I'd repaint it mauve OR drive as is for now.
