1969 Satellite

Car was purchased new by my wife's uncle and he gave it to my son in 1988 (Matt was five years old, car had a little over 29,000 miles). Another uncle, (my side of the family) had a 1968 Hemi RR in the late 60s and I fell in love with the street hemi then. Have several older cars including my first, an original paint 1963 Impala (327/300hp/4spd) and a knack for maintaining them. Plan for the Satellite was to remove the 318 and install a Hemi as my first retirement project. Retired in August 2015 and we started on it then. Engine came from John Arruzza's shop, it's a 572 and is the 619th Hemi he's produced. That's all he's done since 1989; in my opinion, he's a master builder and his work is second to none. Ordered an 11" converter and torqueflite built by Frank Lupo at Dynamic Converters in Delaware. Kept the 8 3/4 rear and installed 3:23 gears w/suregrip. Had Denny's Driveshaft weld up a 3" steel driveshaft with 1350 series yokes. I was adamant that even though there were no Hemi Satellites produced in 1969, I wanted to keep an original look and ordered a 26" radiator and Hemi transmission cooler from Bob Schirmer at Glen-ray Radiators and again; in my opinion, they are works of art. We're two years into the project and pleased with results so far. Attempted to load photos chronologically; but, having some trouble...
