Tyler, you guys don't want to sell that Satellite, do you? I know you said it was a joke, but damn, I like it. What's it got in it?
Haha, thats so odd. me and my dad were just talking about selling it to pay for more storage for our other cars.

i wouldnt sell it to a fellow nico member tho without fair warning, we honestly put it together in 4 days, i garrentee you have never seen such a sloppy bondo job! It looks nice from the outside but its really just a rust bucket covered by some bondo, black primer, and some flames.

The engine is just the stock 318 with a Holley 500cfm 2 barrel on it, some headers, roller rockers and some other goodies, like a chrome flamed air cleaner

You do get a lot of looks driving it tho, one time i went through Wendys in it and the guy told me he loved the car but it looked like whoever painted it used primer! i just laughed and said, "yeah i have been polishing for hours and it just wont shine!"

Its pretty bad, the bondo is on there fairly thick and underneath there is some rust. i would give it another winter before it starts to crack around the rear fenders. Also, it leaks a little through the door seals and the rear end is on its way out.

we are thinking in our little redneck town we could sucker someone for at least 5000 tho

I'm just going to sit here and miss my 440 Fury. Nothing like a Grandpamobile that goes like hell. At one point I also had an 85 Dodge Ramcharger, we took the 2 barrel 318 out, dropped in a built 360 out of this Roadrunner a friend had totaled. That truck would light up all 4 33" tires on dry pavement. Sick. I ended up blowing the front axle, then transmission, and I sold it since I already had another car at the time. But wow what fun.

Thats what i like to see!

my dads plan for the blue roadrunner is to run the built 440 thats in itright now for awhile... it makes about 700 N/A hp

but after he gets tired of that, which i really dont know how you could... ok yes i do. but he wants to build a pump gas blower motor that will put him at about 900-1000 hp

My neighbor next door has a (I think) 1968 Plymouth Satellite. He told me it only runs on racing fuel, and it's really, REALLY loud. I should definitely get some pics and specs from him. He's totally pro-domestic though, and won't talk to me now that I've bought a Nissan hahaha.
