'66 Satellite Hemi, 9600 Mile Day 2 Time Capsule
 

This one has me fishing for my wallet, but fortunately for my wife, I am out of garage space....

A little rough but amazing to find something like this in 2018.

Looks like it spent a lot of time at track. That single jug, drum brake M/C would scare the hell out of me

what is this car worth restored ???

what is this car worth restored ???

...IMO, less than the cost of the restoration.

Best guess: top tier resto with docs, original drivetrain, and racing history, it might crest $100K. would be a HOOT as is with the apparently nice interior. I'd leave that "POLICE TOW" sticker on the window!!!:3gears:

I think the best money spent on this car is in a complete mechanical overhaul. Not to be mixed up with a mechanical "resto" because people would still want to see those valve covers etc. looking exactly as they are now, when someone opens the hood.

I'd spend lots of time cleaning and making it mechanically sound and drive it as is......

You are correct. It would cost around $100k for a correct restoration and it would sell for around $60K at best, when done. The 66 and 67 cars are a love-it or hate-it style for most people out there.

I just noticed - Wow, it's here in Joysey!

I would get this running and driving and clean it up.... and drive the wheels off of it!

Body work 25-30k easy. motor? wellllllll 10k Interior 7-8k, tires wheels 1500-2k, trim 3k what you cant see priceless another 20k neat car mopar stuff is just expensive if it was 20k it would be gone.

I am doing a 67 coronet right now like the silver bullet car back in the day I love them Hemi's!!

IMO a concours resto is the wrong approach on this one, as some of you have said. I would graft in some patch panels, paint it, and clean the rest of it up. I think you could get everything done and avoid going into the red.

Weren't the '66 Hemi still solid lifters back then? i can hear that beast now.:drool:

I remember my friends 68 Coronet R/T and my 69 Super Bee 440/6 pak, those starters whining and at idle sounded like a coffee can full of rocks! This would be a good one to clean up,make mechanically sound, bolt on some 4.10's and slicks and go have some fun!

Solid lifters from 66 to 69. Hydraulic in 70 and 71.

JeezeLouise.....I WANT that in the worst way!!!!!!:burnout: Out of the 66-67 styles, I like the Plymouths better than the Dodges. That right there should be in my shop. Problem is...no shop to have it in right now.:frown: I bet firing up that elephant through those squished headers would sound like a overweight flute player!

Cheers

Dave you would be the perfect guy for this car!

Growing up there has been a prostreet barracuda that was always at the local car shows and across the top of the radiator support it said Don’t fondle the elephant!

----Had two Hemi Satellites over the years and loved them both. They were great for cruising with buds as they had a huge interior. Tall front seat guys never even had to move the seats forward.......Bill S

Dave, from the looks of it I don't think it would hurt it to sit outside for a while. You could get your shop built and then work on this thing.

True.... true. I do know a little about this car since I'm in negotiations for another car and this is very similar to what I'm negotiating the negotiations on the other car for...er.... something like that.:hmmm:

Its owned right now by a flipper. No big deal, but he's a tad off on the asking price right now. I really dig it though. Mechanical resto and drive it!

Cheers

If he's getting any offers, I'll bet they are nowhere close to $39,500....

Yep... and he's about $9500 higher than he bought it for too :ooo:

"at one time clutch blew apart hit the ground and went up in to the floor and ended up in heater box"

LOL!!!

What a shame. Probably had dozens of people trying to buy the car, and the goof just let it rot for 40 plus years. Weird people!

The low mileage on a car this condition means nothing. This is a labor of love, no profit in the future after restored.

What difference does that make?
