I hauled this home Monday afternoon. The car had popped up on Craigslist and the ad said the seller was interested in a 55-7 Chevy trade. Very nice guy. I traded a 56 Chevy 2d HT I'd owned for years. There was just something about this Satellite; had to have it. He'd owned it for a number of years but just hadn't gotten to it. He commented that when he'd gone to look at the car about 8 yrs ago, it just grabbed him. It did the same thing to me.

VIN RH27H8G--------- You'll note a shifter handle sticking out of the floor. All appearances are it's an original 4 speed car. I've got to believe that's pretty unusual. It has a 69 driver's door on it from a hardtop, so the glass isn't right on that side.

I've often said I wish cars could talk. Man, would I like to know the story on this one. Currently has a 440 in it which appears to be 1968 vintage, Torker intake, Hooker Super Comp headers, 2 1/2" exhaust, scatter shield, pinion snubber, air shocks, small section of chain reinforcing the driver's side engine mount, Sun tach and sure grip rear end. Haven't had a chance to see what the gear ratio is.

Sorting some things out and hunting down a few parts it needs yet, but I keep finding myself standing there just looking at the car. We were both happy with the deal.

Happy to share this with you all.
