1969 Satellite convertible...finally finished!

[amigafin]

I bought this car in 1987, it was the first car I bought with my own money and registered to me. It was a daily driver, and pizza delivery vehicle, for years. Finally, after years of storage, I had the time and money to restore this car. Here are the results... what do you think? (one is a before picture) There are more photos available in my profile gallery.

Nice touch on the console...I like it. Modernized to have cup holders but still retains the original look of a 66-70 B console. Very tasteful.

The entire care looks awesome!

beautiful car! glad you kept it a Sattelite.

Yeah, a lot of people tried to convince me to turn it into a road runner clone. I realize it is WAY more rare as a satellite and plan to keep it that way. Thanks all for the compliments, I appreciate it!

Nice car, nice job
luckily you kept it as a Satellite!

Frankly I never understood the thought process behind "cloning". If it's a sheep that's one thing but a car why? It is what it is. And this one is a very nice Satty. Glad you kept it true. She's a sweetie.

I hope that my Sport Satellite comes out even half as nice as yours!
