New guy from Canada

Post by wehtiko » Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:17 pm

Hi guys,

First of all, happy 4th of July to you all!

I am the owner of a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring. It is powered by a mild camed 440 4bbl with a 727 with Slap Stick. Originally this car got it's power from a 318 2bbl with a 904 tranny. Both were gone when I bought the car. Handling the power at the rear wheel is a 3.23 8 3/4. 3.91 when I bought the car but this was no fun on the highway.

The car is currently in the body shop. I had an horror story this winter. As you may have heard, we get a lot of snow up here (Quebec city, Canada) and a lot of rain this year just to make this snow heavier. So heavy that my garage collapsed on the car. I was kind of lucky, though, because it's not bad enough to cut the top off and put another one. It also gave me the kick in the ass I needed to get a loan and give it the restoration it deserves :)

The car will be stripped and receive a fresh coat of Sassy Grass Green (Originally it was Autumn Bronze Metallic). Since it's not a matching #'s car, I figured I would put it the way I wanted. I will also get rid of the few '72 parts that are found on the car.

Below is a picture of my Satellite in better days and a picture of that [keep language clean] garage.

Enough said for now, you will hear from me soon as I will have questions to restore it.

Have a nice day!!

Great looking car!

I love the sassy grass green, it should really catch some looks.
