Hi all! My husband and I went to a mopar show a couple weeks ago. Thanks to fate, divine timing, or whatever you want to call it, we fell in love with a 70 Plymouth Satellite 383 4-bbl we saw was for sale as we were getting ready to leave. Long story short, we transferred the title today and we feel like little kids on Christmas morning!
I grew up going to the drag strip with my mom so we could watch my grandpa race his altered. There was just nothing cooler to me than being allowed to stand on the strip, getting as close to the cars as my mom would allow, right before the launch.
I can’t say if that’s the end goal with the Satellite. We had my grandpa take a look at it (he owns his own garage, very fitting) and once he said the engine and body were solid, we decided we will figure out the rest. Does it need some TLC? Sure. So does my 09 Altima lol. I think we’re just excited to get our hands dirty doing the work ourselves and learning as much as possible along the way.
