I managed to win this car at an auction of a deceased estate and am planning on finishing the car since all the body work has already been done. Came with a lot of parts in the trunk but it is still missing a fair bit too. Luckily I have some spares in my garage but I will start the hunt soon to help make it complete. More pics as I start work on her.
The car is an E44 powered car but since the engine is long gone, I'm thinking of upgrading it to a 383 four barrel, what are your thoughts on this? Good idea?

383 all the way baby. Is that a 70's Chevy instrument panel cover on the fender?

Not sure, by the time I bid on it, the cover was long gone, there were no chevys in the yard except for a couple of 80's pickups.
 
Nice project, I love those 69 B bodies. Some of my favorites.
 
Good idea with the 383, more importantly, keep the car the great car that it already is: a Satellite.
 
It's obvious that this car killed the previous owner. Sell I now before it kills you too.
 
R6 red is purdy
 
Nice score! Hope the price was right. And yeah, looks like a Chevy truck instrument panel cover to me....
 
Congrats! I was at that sale too. Glad someone got this car that is going to bring it back to life. It was one of the best pieces there. Seemed like a pretty good buy on it as well
 
@wollfen Did you pick that up at the Clemmons auction? Nice score! I am in Winterville NC, so jus down the road! PM me. There are quite a few Mopar guys in the area and a few who are members here as well. Love to make contact with local Mopar folks! Not a lot of us in ENC so the more the merrier!
 
Nice, as you know I'm sure the sport sat and the GTX share many parts. The taillight housings are one but they are available aftermarket but expensive. The hard parts are the grille and the trunk finish panel. There very difficult and expensive to find in decent shape. Hopefully your grille is in one piece and can be restored easily. The trunk finish panel with makes or breaks the rear of the sport sat and GTX is another issue. Getting one with the pins all still there and minimum of pits would be a good start. Also the rocker panels are a SS only item. I mistakingly bought a aftermarket and they were wrong for my SS. Good luck with your car
 
Nice score. I'd just get a 360 Crate motor from Indy and leave it a small block.
I'd definitely leave it a sport satellite though.

That's definitely a Chevy truck instrument cluster bezel good eyes.
They didn't change those things much from 73-86.
I have a 76, 82 and 83 chevy trucks and they all have the same gauge clusters more or less

I think I did well yes, some of the cars and parts went for crazy prices.
