1966 Plymouth Satellite Hemi 426 Additional Info:

This is an award-winning and highly documented 1966 Plymouth Satellite. This was born with an ultra-desirable dual-quad Hemi 426 V8, and so it has been restored and preserved with the utmost care. So dig into the details, but you already know this slick black coupe is true Mopar royalty.

These cars can look incredibly sophisticated in the right color, and the fresher application of black gets it just right. It has a great clearcoat luster in the sunshine, which really brings out the beauty of the sheetmetal. So this upper-level Satellite upholds its premium image from the first impression. These intermediate Mopars had a full-size look with a wide stance and confident lines in the cantilever roof. And at the same time, they integrated some sleekness with the rounded curve built into the door line. It created one of the most unique and handsome designs on the streets - and it was only available for a few short years. And while the color compliments the design on this one, there's also much more that's grabbing your eye. The full-width grille, full-length trim, and shining chrome bumpers are terrific for the premium accenting. Plus, the red inserts in the rear and redline tires on Mopar road wheels are subtly bold hints at the beast within.

The pillarless hardtop profile makes it easy to show off the interior, and when it looks like this, you're going to love showcasing the inside. The factory-correct premium black vinyl bucket seats have an intricate pattern that really grabs attention. And the rest of the seating, door panels, carpeting, and headliner are just as deep and dark. But this is far from a sea of darkness. There's plenty of bright trim throughout the interior - especially on the retro-cool center console. We know you'll love all the great original touches on this one, including the working AM radio. There are also some well-done upgrades that were thoughtfully installed. For example, you have a cleanly installed full Stewart Warner gauge upgrade with the large column-mounted tach and auxiliary trio. These are period correct units that look like they could have been done on day one. Plus, a performance car like this needs a three-spoke steering wheel, but the original unit also comes with the sale. In fact, there is a trunk full of original components that go with this coupe.

You can instantly see they also invested heavily in keeping the engine bay looking quite factory fresh. That's because this one was one of the few Mopars born with the 426 Hemi V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors on top. That kind of history makes it instantly desirable, but what makes it a true star is that this block is believed to be original to the car. Yes, this shows as a full pedigree dual-quad Hemi Mopar! Even the four-speed manual transmission and 3.54 limited-slip rear end are believed to be part of this highly original package. All the documentation on this one supports that it has all the key factory components, right down to the Hemi-specific front suspension. That makes it a street-eating coupe that gets invited to the best high society car show lawns.

The sale comes with a significant documentation file, including build receipts, owner's manual, service manuals, a reproduction window sticker, reproduction buildsheet, reproduction windows ticker, photos, and Galen Govier documentation. This coupe is so top-quality it's an award-winner and it was shown at The Quail during the 2015 Monterey Car Week. So if you're a true muscle car connoisseur, don't let something this distinct slip away. Call today!!!
