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.

The nice thing about the Muave/Lilac is that I could get away with not spraying the trunk,engine comp. jams since those areas are in really great shape. I might try to just run over to Big Lots and pick up some paint rollers and roll the paint on in my driveway, I hear that's the latest craze! 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!!!

There's a local guy that had a 66 painted that color recently and it is sweet. Another vote for mauve.
On a lighter note I mentioned to two ladies at work today about there mauve outfits matching. They told me it wasn't right that I knew what mauve was but when I explained about it being a Mopar color in 66 they understood!

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..
