So the guy with the salvage yard who scored the '63 Polara 500 is a big of 62-65 Mopars. He tends to hang on to what he finds from that era. Here is some of what's in his yard… Cheers! - Art

Thanks Mike, and thank YOU for posting all these pics - what a great resource for looking at colors, mods, stances, rims! Here is an original unrestored '63 Polara 500 that came out of a carriage house in Troy, NY a couple years ago. A salvage yard owner/friend of mine got a call asking if...

Merry Christmas everyBBody… get it?? LOL - What an awesome thread. Here's what you get when you start with a dirty worn-out but unmolested '65 Satellite 361/2bbl with 57,000miles then take 6 years to disassemble, rebuild, repaint, restore and reassemble everything.... Cheers!

My thanks for the suggestion 5.7Hemi - the '64 Dodge pieces don't look like they'll work either. On a '65 the push pin is off-center on the clip. But since they are inexpensive, I'll buy a few and see what happens, you never know. -Art

Hey PA and Stan, The ones in my first post came in and NO, they DIDN'T. Too big. Stan, yes, the clips I'm needing are for the thin trim piece above the door handles, below the window sill garnish trim. I'm going to try 5.7Hemi's suggestions next. I'll try updating you here when I get...

Hey, happy Saturday! I've trashed a number of the "square-with-center-pin" nylon clips that hold the stainless trim under the windowsills of our '65 Satellite. There are none being repoped for my specific application, but.... the ones I trashed look just like the ones sold by R/T...

Consider this "trick" for cleaning nasty grimy parts like the engine and tranny: Go to your auto parts store and buy a tub of handcleaner/degreaser - like GoJo. Scrub it on the parts with a bristle brush and hose off the goop. Repeat until clean. It worked really well when I dismantled my...

BigFlo - Glad to share removal technique. You know the trim is divided between the rear section that goes down the C-pillar and the one section above the door glass? The rear section is easy to figure out - it's all screws. The one down low in back is a nut you have to unscrew from the...

Hey, When I pulled the stainless drip rails off my '65 Satellite, there was some semi-hardened goop (Like Mortite, if anyone remembers that stuff) in the cavity underneath. This is a vinyl top car and the stainless rails are ready to go back on. The new vinyl top is on tight with a...

I agree with the above. A later MC should be fine. I converted my '65 this spring. All drum manual. Since I have no trust in aftermarket parts whatsoever, I bought three new dual circuit MC's. One each from NAPA, AutoZone and Advance Autoparts. I had them each give me the one listed for a '67...

Isn't it amazing to imagine these cars all started out as BRAND NEW off the showroom??

My fave has to be the '65 Satellite/Belv hardtops..

First thing I'd do would be to buy myself a 1965 Factory Service Manual. Great reference for parts and assembly. You are right, a lot of the pieces are year-specific, mainly trim. From the firewall and back many components were shared with the '64 Fury. Best of luck with your restoration...

You are most welcome AZ, glad you are able to keep it indoors and moving along. Winter can be a @#$%. Anything else you need to know, just ask. Here's a little inspiration from our '67 Satellite...

Maybe you do a "topless" Mopar calendar??

You got more than enough '67's, but here's a calendar-worthy shot of our Satellite - you can save it for you calendar next year......

Hey, congrats on your '67 Satellite. Do you mean the thin pin stripe painted at the upper body crease? If so, that was standard on '67 Satellites. I believe standard on GTX's too. It was either white or black. You had to delete it if you didn't want them. It seems that a lot of resto's didn't...

Thanks BB! You have a PM.....

Hey Sportster - sorry I don't have the particular parts you are looking for, but you might modify your title to include Belvedere's also, the parts will interchange. The only turn-signal lenses I have seen reproduced don't come "loose". They make whole chrome turn-signal "bullet". I have...

Here are some pics of our Satellite convert - factory 383, 3.23 open rear. Best 1/4mi to date 15.49sec. Cheers!
