69 Satellite restored on Misfit Garage

[Garys1969RR]

A reality TV show, Misfit Garage, pulled a 69 Satellite ($2000) out of a swampy area, and re built the whole thing front to rear. They put in what appeared to be a 500 inch Indy headed stroker motor, Painted it Plum Crazy, and turned it into a Hot street machine. They Installed a F/G hood with a HUGE hood scoop. Then they sold it to a pretty blond for $37,000! How much is true? Don't know, but I think it helps the restoration cause, especially for old Mopars! The show is worth checking out. Really funny at times. That episode aired on 7th of March this year.

Why does it have to be purple or green with these shows!

Yeah, I saw most of that too. The car did turn out great. I guess I missed the end of it, I don't remember seeing it get sold.

I have a '69 Sport Satellite, that is in the body shop. They had the show on at the body shop and were going to call me to tell me to watch it. I did see it and got quite a kick out of it.

Seems that Girls like purple cars. They do stand out when the show airs.

I worked in film business for 30 years they are ALL staged shows. Some do build real cars but most use a "hero" car and a beater to work on then you can shoot an episode in 2 days. Its all about the budget
