70 Plymouth Satellite

Well here are a few pictures of my 70 Plymouth Satellite. The bodywork is in some need of TLC but the underneath now has a rebuilt front end with poly bushes, new joints everywhere and gas shocks all round courtesy of RPM. Handles really nicely now and a big improvement on before.

Nice project! Where did you pick it up Tim?

I bought it in Westerlo in Belgium in March last year from a guy called Marc Lenaerts who runs www.california-import.com. (The website is in English though so don't be put off by the location.) He normally has about 50-60 (fifty-sixty) cars in all types of condition. The car is very solid underneath but required the suspension and brakes to be rebuilt before the car was fit to drive. The car is registered and MoT'd.

Firsty, I'm going to enjoy driving it around a little (probably quite a lot actually). The drivers door needs to be banged out, the rear took a knock at some time and the bottom of the passenger side rear fender needs replacing and then a repaint in the original B3 Ice Blue. The seats and headlining match the interior paint (B7 Jamaica Blue) and have already been replaced and look OK. The wheels are old Appliance 5 spokes which are rusty so they will be replaced with either Magnum 500's (which I have) or perhaps steel with the dog dish caps (if I can get a set). The engine (318) has an Edelbrock manifold, FlowTech headers and Magnaflow exhaust. It's tired but loud. Make that very loud. The transmission needs sorting out as it won't kick down but it's perfectly driveable otherwise. Here's another pic...

Hi Tim,

Welcome! I saw your car at RPM a few weeks ago when I was up there - thats a really solid, original car there and I liked it a lot.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the kind words! I plan to keep it looking fairly stock and just get rid of any knocks, bangs and dents (there seem to be a lot of them) before freshening up the engine and transmission.
