This was a brown on brown Plymouth Satellite, that was parked in the 1990's. Originally was a 318/904 P/S, PB. It went thru an extensive reconditioning this past year. But it is a lot more then just driver quality.

There were also frame repairs made at the ends of the middle torsion bar crossmember.Brand new front and rear bumpers and bumper guards and front lens.

Brand New 15 X 7 rallye wheels with new caps and ringsand lug nutson brand new 60 seriestires.
WHAT I NOTED: The engine has less then11 miles on it. It will need to be dialed in. It has been broke in and runs strong. With most of the front end new it may need a front end alignment as well. They had a heater core leak occur during the break in and it was bypassed. I will include the new hoses and clamps with the car. The fuel and temp gauges are currently inop. I was told it was probably the Voltage limiter Regulator needing replaced as both sending units are new and the wiring is good. Window felts are worn. Glass is all original and show some age. Door glass has pitting in places.The 440engine was out of a truck and theoil pan had a provision for a dipstick but when we put a pan for a passenger vehicle it does not but the provision for the dipstick tube has been plugged on the block. So currently the engine does not have a dipstick. All window and hood trim is original. The drivers side fender c-molding has a chip broke off of it and should be replaced.
Overview: So the car would be great investment and a perfect car to drive. Nice investment and the fun thing about this car and you can just do what you want to it with upgrades of your choice and not worryhurting the originality.Everything is new so it will need to be monitored during the firstmiles as to making sure all shakes, rattles are addressed and the need tocheck clamps, hoses, belts, brakes, alignmentetc. New parts alone are close to the asking price as with anyone who has ever restored a Mopar knows the cost is high.Clear Missouri Title. Ready for a buyer, Not currently licensed or insured as it was not driveable when purchased. No warranty whatsoever. My long description is to try to describe as best as I can, But I cannot guarantee anything.
