Hi. br>I am selling my much loved Plymouth Satellite. I've owned it for 4 years and I do not have the time to carry out the work I would like to do to it.
Okay. it's a 1969 Satellite 4 door which started life as a slant 6 with a manual transmission.  
It has been converted to a 440 big block with a 727 auto transmission.  
It has a 8. 75 rear end with suregrip diff.  
I have fitted a full disc brake conversion so it has vented. cross drilled discs all round with a dual circuit master cylinder and adjustable bias valve.  
The engine has a Holley 750 I think. It has tubular headers but I suspect they are not correct for this car as the LH header fouls the torsion bar slightly.  
The exhaust is a home made (previous owner) twin system which is terrible but an easy and relatively cheap fix.  
All the wheel bearings are new as are the top and bottom ball joints.  
It has Weld Racing Dragstar rims wider on the rear than the front. It has a B & M high capacity alloy sump on the transmission.  
The front tyres are like new and the rears are getting low.  
The body work as far as I can tell has never been welded but there are a few areas which will need attention in the near future. around the rear window at the bottom. and both lower rear quarters. the underneath of the car is in excellent condition. Both outer sills have a small area of surface rust at the rear but still solid. I can take more pictures and email if required.  
It has a Jaz fuel cell mounted in the boot.  
It has Cal Custom valve covers that I fitted in place of the original pressed steel ones. the old ones had been over tightened and badly distorted. the alloy ones do leak oil slightly and need some longer bolts to seal properly.  
It drives pretty good but does have a few issues that I have bought new parts for but just no time to fix.  
The transmission works okay but the rear bushing is worn and so there is a bit of play when you move the prop shaft up and down. I think this is causing a bit of vibration when driving fast.
It gets a bit hot on a long run and I think this is either due to corroded impeller on the water pump or the original 6 cylinder radiator does not have the capacity to deal with the big block motor. I have fitted a new thermostat and a new heater matrix as this was leaking when I got it.
I had plans to rebuild the transmission. engine and diff and have spent a lot of money on spare parts.
I think I've covered all the good and bad bits. Also included is the following:
A spare set of steel wheels. two have excellent tyres and two have no tyres. A polished alloy water pump and housing. transmission overhaul master kit including steels. friction plates and bushings. A diff centre gear set. A diff overhaul kit (no bearings as I was going to source them locally)An engine overhaul gasket set and spare sump gaskets. A summit racing performance camshaft and hydraulic lifters. A summit racing timing chain and gear set. A brand new pair of Mopar Performance valve covers. A pair of American style number plates.
This car passes the mot without advisories and I would be more than happy to have it tested prior to sale.
It is ready to use and unlike a lot of these cars it is safe to use.
If you are seriously interested please get in touch. It is available to view weekdays 0800 to 1700. Saturday mornings 0800-1200 or by arrangement outside these times.
The best means of contact is through ebay as I don't have my phone to hand when working and if you leave your number I will call you back.
Serious and sensible offers considered. no px. no traders. no paypal. Cash on collection only.
I think I've given an honest description of the good and bad bits.
