1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite Convertible
RP27G9G122514
I've
driven this car less than 80 miles in the last decade, so it's time to
sell and move on to something else I'll actually use.
I bought this 1969 Sport Satellite Convertible in the year 2000 with about 41, 300 miles
showing on the odometer, which is believed to be original.
I've
read that 818 Sport Satellite Convertibles were built, with about 188
having a 383 V8 of some sort. The rest were 318 cars. This is a 383
2BBL car that has been switched to a 4 BBL
with an Edelbrock Performer intake.
The car is generally in great
shape, but it has lived a hilariously sedentary life and needs to be
driven and tended to on a more regular basis to be considered a real car
and not a mere taker-upper of garage space.
ENGINE: Rebuilt top
to bottom in 2004 with forged pistons
and a Comp 260 cam. I run it up to
temp every couple of months for shits and giggles. Runs great. Recent oil
change. New dual exhaust was installed at the time of rebuild. Trans is a
three-speed auto which has not been touched since I've had the car. Works
fine. Engine build cost me about $5, 500. New gas tank.
Pertronix electronic ignition, aluminum water pump.
BODY: Painted
the correct Y2 Sunfire yellow in basecoat-clearcoat at a cost of about $7, 500. Body
is solid with original floors, quarter panels and trunk drops. I have new lower mouldings and the
installation clips, but I just haven't gotten around to that yet.
INTERIOR: The fender
tag indicates this car came with bucket seats, but it had a bench when I
got it, so I went with it. Scratch-built leather seat coverings with new
foam as well as new carpets, door panels, trim, etc. Classy and smells like cow porn in there. Total cost of about $6, 200.
WHEELS/TIRES:
New chrome Magnum 500s, 15x7, with new redlines. Driven about 34 feet
since installed.
BRAKES: New Master Power front disk conversion, drums
at the rear.
SUSPENSION: About seven years ago, hoping to rekindle my
relationship with the car, I kind
of wanted to 'restomod' it (lower, big wheels), so I added Magnumforce
Racing tubular upper control arms. Never went any further. So much for
that. Added KYB shocks. Stock leafs out back.
TOP OPERATION: The top
functions well, or I should say that it
used to, but the system sprung a hydraulic leak, so I don't use it. It really should have
the cylinders replaced. Total cost of that is about $800, best I can
tell.
STUFF TO FIX: I noticed that the power-steering pump is leaking, so that will need tending to. Over time, it'll empty enough to make steering
both unbearably noisy and difficult. The car also picked up an electrical
glitch where it sometimes won't start with the key. I have to actually
cross the terminals on the firewall. Possibly the ignition switch or
relay. No biggie, just annoying. Gonna need the rear fender-lip
moldings.
PAYMENT: Money works
as does certified check and wire transfer. No Paypal (fees are terrible). $500 is
due at auction's close with the balance due within seven days.
DELIVERY: Send a truck, or pick it up with a truck. Clearly, I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time while you
arrange for transport. Message me to discuss if you have unusually weird
needs in this regard.
Thanks for reading and good luck.
