That ain't Right.. Wright??

Spatter paint in the trunk pretty much says it's a resto by a non MoPar shop and Chevy owners looking to ride the MoPar wave. The console was hacked and floor shifter added for the simple reason that floor shifters sell and column shifters don't. That's my take anyway.

I had a triple black 68 GTX convertible 440 4 spd car back in the 80's.

Did you notice the tail light lenses, no grill work, something's just not right about this whole deal!

Habib · Nov 1, 2014

the doors panels are just awful and did anyone notice he is using a drivers side rear armrest on the passenger door you can see the ash tray

I like, often thought about it myself as I have a bench but love a console...

Stay away from those guys. Almost all of their cars are highly doctored.

There is just to much stuff wrong with this to even be a driver for me. Kind of like a guy wearing a nice suit and dirty/worn out shoes.

Actually '67 GTX Tail Lights do not have the grill work in them. '66 Satellite Sports did. And those tail light lenses and the bezels are for a '66. Totally wrong for the '67. This to me looks like a "HACK" job to make something look correct but is not. The VIN is actually for a '67 GTX as I ran it through MYMOPAR dot com and it came up as such. The interior though is a total hack job and as said before had they taken the time to come up with the correct interior pieces, then it would be a great buy. Just sad how no one at the eBag will monitor the listings for accuracy and correctness....cr8crshr/Tuck

Console, seats, door panels, trunk paint, Corporate Blue engine block and valve covers, and more. Wrong t/light lenses.

Air cleaner is a $15.00 Pep Boys special. Fuel line routing is very wrong. Wrong carb. Black duct tape on the driver's side visor! very poorly done headliner with the wrong dome light - this should have the interior lights on the "C"-pillar. Something tells me that this is a Belvedere II and NOT a GTX, despite the VIN given in the ad.

I inspect cars for an East Coast inspection firm. One thing you NEVER do is take pictures INSIDE in a room with fluorescent lighting...EVER! Always take pics of a car outside in the sunshine, or as a minimum, an overcast sky. Inside lights hide many sins, regardless of the color of the vehicle.

This needs a boatload of work, without a doubt! I'd stay far away from this one.

There was NO Sport Satellite until the 1968 model year, BTW.

Left is '66, right is '67.

Hmmmm...that would be interesting to see. Never heard of a pre '68 Sport Satellite.

Are you sure they aren't just calling it 'sporty'?

patrick66 · Nov 3, 2014

The Sport Satellite model debuted in the 1968 model year. Can you scan this info you say you have??? I'll guarantee that the Sport Satellite was NOT a model in either 1966 or 1967. I've owned a boatload of both years. The following is a listing of all three years' Plymouth B-body models, from the cheap model to the high end:

1966 = Belvedere, Belvedere I, Belvedere II, Satellite
1967 = Belvedere, Belvedere I, Belvedere II, Satellite, Belvedere GTX
1968 = Belvedere, RoadRunner, Satellite, Sport Satellite, GTX

66 Belvedere. Not sure I've seen one of those either. Was that an RE VINned car. Got any info on them?

patrick66 · Nov 3, 2014

The '66 Belvedere Police and Taxi (VIN RK21/41 & RT21/41) and the cop wagons (RK45) were sold as plain Belvederes in the Commercial brochures, and are counted as just plain old Belvedere, versus Belvedere I, and are counted separately from Belvedere I production numbers.

The 1967 Belvedere was indeed VINned as RE; and from my info sources, the RE cars were all six-passenger station wagons. Belvedere I was RL, like the '66 cars are.

They are counted differently, and are considered Belvedere in production numbers. I've not seen that particular pic before...interesting...

cr8crshr · Nov 4, 2014

My bad!!! After reading again it actually refers to the Belvedere/Satellite as having the "Sport Trim Package". As we all know "Assume" is the operative word for my mistake and I fell like an...

More like the second pic I would suspect. But the first? VaVaVOOOOMMMM!!!!cr8crshr/Tuck

69Coronetrt · Nov 4, 2014

I think what is being confused here is the use of the Model Line name Belvedere (All 66 and 67 Plymouth B bodies were in the Belvedere model line using the R VIN code) and the sub model/badged (second letter in the VIN L-H-P-S) production numbers.

A 66 Taxi would be part of the Belvedere model line up but a taxi sub model. It is not badged as a Belvedere as there was no sub model Belvedere in the Belvedere line up in '66 like there was, as you stated, in 67 with the Belvedere badged wagons. The wagons would be a Belvedere badged car in the Belvedere line up like a Satellite would be badged a Satellite sub model within the Belvedere model line up. Remember a 67 GTX is Vinned RS but badged Belvedere GTX.

Production numbers from that era are generally listed as sub models and not line models. So the Taxi and cop cars are counted as sub models of the Belvedere model line up not as using the word Belvedere to indicate a sub model.

The reason to use the word Belvedere in the production numbers of taxis is a way to distinguish the B body Belvedere based taxis from the C body based Fury taxis.

If you just counted "Taxis" you wouldn't know if they were B body Belvedere based or C body Fury based taxis. So we have.... Model line: Belvedere. Sub model: Taxi just like Model Line: Belvedere. Sub Model: Satellite.

It is sometime confusing that Mopar used badging within the model line up but that's the way is was. You see other Plymouth model lines using similar designations (Fury I-II-II) where Dodge tended to used actual names within the Coronet model line up (Coronet Deluxe, Coronet 440, Coronet 500, Coronet R/T)

Yes it's easy to be critical, but if you look closely at the pics there are a lot of things about that car that need to be corrected, replaced, etc.

You beat me to it - a lot of things.

Bad ..., bad wrong. :eusa_naughty:

coloradodave · Nov 5, 2014

Man, some of you guys are HARSH! When I looked at this ad, it said DRIVER QUALITY, NOT NUMBERS MATCHING. So it has a cut down center console? Aren't we all always saying, "Build it like YOU want to."? Obviously the PO wanted a center console with his bench seat. I must have missed the part about this being a 100 point show car.
I'll bet if we lifted the hood on 95% of the cars we drive we would see just as many INCORRECT things. Who gives a crap? To me, it's a nice car for what it is represented to be, A DRIVER! Good grief...
