My '67 Plum Crazy Satellite

Hello Everyone! First I must say I have been a member for a few years, but did not look at the site too often as I didn't have an old mopar and it was depressing. After looking for over two years, I finally found a 67 Satellite in North Carolina. My son and I drove 5.5 hours down and a few more back to get it back in June. It was painted and redone back in 2000 from what I am told, but now we are making some changes to update and make it ours. It was originally a 383, now a 400 with 906 heads, 727 column shift and 8 3/4 sure-grip with 3.23 gears. As with any car, we have run into some problems to fix, but that is what we wanted. But I can say thank you to all of you who post! Pictures and discussions have been so beneficial! Some of the issues were bad gas (getting new tank and line) and even had a wheel fall off a low speed which resulted in new wheel studs. Original tires were way too big for the back and were rubbing. I will do my best to be engaged more and to keep up to date on progress!

You should be very proud that is a very nice car congratulations

sweet ride,it doesnt matter the condition it all about the fun with the car. Love the color

I see it's a factory AC car. Find all of the missing stuff and install and be cool.

It is a factory AC car! I am actually looking to put AC back in this spring. Another one of the topics that the discussion boards have very informative for. I am fairly confident we will be going with the vintage air system as well as upgrading to the ergman/Borgenson power steering upgrade.

I have a 67 and spent alot of time measuring and trying different wheels on it before I custom ordered them... I crack up on here when I see some of the "recommendations" for wheels and tires for 66/67 cars......

Your car looks great, and so do the wheels and tires! I really like the look of the Magnum 500 wheels. The previous owner had 275/60/15 in the rear and 255/60/15 up front with manual steering!

Without making it a "downhill" car and with 8" rear wheels with a 5 1/8" BS, 245 at the most.

Nice looking ride!
