Its on Ebay, older guy says he has had it for 9 years.
Its a 273 Commando, matching to the car he says.
California car its whole life.
Here are the specs as he laid it out.
My main concern is the rusty areas.
He is asking $9500
1966 Plymouth Satellite
This car was built in the Los Angeles assembly plant and originally sold in Hawthorne
Have the original Certi-card that came with car.
Car has the original California black and yellow licence plates. Car was originally red.
Motor and trans were both rebuilt, but not sure how many miles since rebuild.
Has new OEM front seat upholstery and pads installed.
Have new rear upholstery, did not install yet, trying to locate rear seat pads. New door armrest pads.
Dash is all original with factory AM radio, I installed an under dash mount for aftermarket Sony radio/CD player. Has 4 speakers, two under package tray and one in each door. Headliner and visors are new, glass is tinted and in excellent condition.
Manual door window regulators work smoothly. Previous owner removed all lettering and emblems and had car painted, I have everything that was removed.
Paint job was not very good but looks good at 30 feet.
Paint has a few small blisters under the paint above both rear wheel wells, has a small rust spot under left tail light in the bumper apron and has minor rust perforation in the driver floor foot well. These are typical for southern California coast vehicles and can easily be repaired.
Only body damage I found on car is a minor fender repair at the left tail light, can be seen from inside the trunk. Has dealer installed body side moldings that need to be removed when car is repainted, in my opinion.
Has new outside door handles and lock cylinders and keys matched to new ignition and trunk lock.
Has new heater core and all new belts and hoses.
New water pump.
Heater and fan controls work smoothly and correctly. All lighting, turn signals, brake lights work correctly, Speedometer and fuel and temp gauges work correctly.
Center console all original and complete. Engine and body wiring has not been altered or messed with.
The Ford rear end and the front disc brake conversion makes me think previous owner was maybe planning on a big block transplant. This car is an excellent daily driver as it is, starts on first turn and runs very smooth. I have owned the car for 9 years and has never failed to start and run well.
