theconvertibleguy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Another one that's a good price (IMO), but I don't think it's original. Did the Satellite come with a 440 in 1966? Or is it the wrong year that's posted? Tried getting the data plate or any details from this but no response so feeling like a scam, but maybe others can shed some light. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/263771563479400 Edited September 13 by theconvertibleguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Not a 440 car, but likely not a scam. In 1967 the "B" body Plymouth Belvedere/Satellite sub model GTX was equipped with a 440 or optionally 426 Hemi. In 66 you could order a 426 Hemi in a B body Satellite. OK, this car is on the money if you want a decent muscle driver @ $27000 Canadian=$19600 US. On the USA border also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking it might be a mislabelled '67, but I dont' know enough about the differences to know if it's mislabeled or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 440s were available in the big cars (Fury) in 66, and its a fair bet it was on the option list for Belvedere/Sattelite as well. If I had any books handy I would look. It would be an unusual option in 1966 though. No matter. This is a 67. 66s have two headlights and rather different looking tail lights and trim on the trunk lid. Since the GTX existed in 67, and it is essentially a Sattelite with 440 or 426 and maybe some heavier duty chassis stuff, a 440 Sattelite would be an even weirder order. I am still thinking it was probably available if you asked for it. The fifth digit of the VIN will tell you what it was built with. I would bet an awful lot it wont prove to be a 440. P.S. the good heads and manifolds didn't come until 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Here' the front end of a '66 Satellite (factory brochure): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconvertibleguy Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Found it was a 66 with a '67 grill, which is strange especially as everything else looks ramrod straight. Wonder how hard it'd be to find a 66 grill and a 361 to put it back original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) The interior does appear to be 1966. The back is 1967. I doubt any of the exterior trim interchanges directly between years, even where it looks similar. That's just how Chrysler rolled in those days. Here is a 66: Edited April 18 by Bloo (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
