Good morning,
I'm in Los Angeles, CA and after a long number of years away from my 69 Sport Satellite due to work, life, and general insanity, I just got it running, rolling, and registered. I had a 69 Sport Satellite (Alpine white, factory red pinstripe, red interior) in the late 90's/early 2000's for the end of high-school and college, but it was rear-ended by an uninsured driver while I was at a stop light and pushed into the car in front of me. I still have it, but it needs some serious frame work and I'm not sure how to manage it.
After the insurance debacle, I found another 69 Sport Satellite in Los Angeles, same colors, almost the same options, and a few serial numbers away from it's brother. Bought it, covered it, and haven't really touched it until now when time and financing allowed. It's largely complete, but as they say "needs everything".
I'm excited to begin working on it again, but am having difficulty finding shops to assist with the tasks I'm not comfortable with and don't have the budget to do it all at once or go to a resto shop, hand over a small fortune, and say "Make it so!".
It will absolutely be a driver and I'm amazed at how far things like the suspensions, EFI, classic auto air kits, and other technology I couldn't imagine would ever be built for our cars in 2000/2001. In a perfect world, I would also be able to get the frame work done and fix the crunched one so my dad and I could have an almost matching pair of father-son B-Bodies. He had a 68 Vitamin C Roadrunner in 1968 and is certainly the reason we're a Mopar family today.
