The Satellite was such a good, casually dressed car.

A very tasteful design.

Wow! A 5yr, 50,000 mile drivetrain warranty in 1967?

My first car was a 66’ Belvedere. Had the 318 V-8. Not real fast but a good engine. Used to fill it with gasoline every Friday $7 lol.

[@cudaus1]

Had a 67 440 GTX. Real fun car!

[@69HemiGTX]

As stated by John Ringel, the black Satellite has a Hemi in it, even though it was technically unavailable as an RPO. There's more than enough evidence of it: the black engine bay behind it in the full engine shot, fender badges, hood ornament, torque boxes, and the numbers 3, 5, and 7 spark wires hiding in plain sight during the brake master cylinder shot. Interestingly, there's no Hemi badge on the trunk. All that talk of them only being available in the GTX, yet the Satellite has one. I'd like to hope it survived after this filming, but sadly, I'm almost certain it met the fate of most pilot cars. :(

[@adamtrombino106]

You could get dealer installed Hemi's on any B body car ( not wagon) in 66-67. For 68-71, they were available over the parts counter, but had a 90 day warranty. Prior to that, it was 12/12000, same as off the dealer floor. Thing was, real factory Hemi cars had HD welds, special torque boxes, springs, radiators, transmissions, rear gears, brakes and tires as std.

[@markg7030]

For 1969 press photos were released of a Charger with HEMI badges on both sides except it was not an R/T. I think somebody tracked the car down. I think more than one Satellite was built with the Hemi even though it was only available on GTX in 1967.

[@devonmask5192]

For street racing of the time, the 440 GTX was King. The Torqueflite was a perfect match and no blown shifts, the body tended to be lighter than the swelling GM/Ford rigs and the 440 was one of the toughest motors, surviving hop-up with ease. Hemi's stayed away, for the most part. It was a no win situation for them. If they won; "Well duh, you got a hemi". If they lost, owners had to change their name and move out of state. Besides, if you sank the money you saved from getting the hemi into the 440, you were hunting 427 vettes, no problem.

[@damxgopak457]

Hemi only had 90 day warranty.

[@plymouthdie-castreplicas]

'67 Belvedere is the best NASCAR race car of all time. Richard Petty won 27 of the 48 races, including 10 wins in a row! Quite good;-)

[@31847448]

Yes that’s very true !

[@eddieschwab864]

That's because back then between the Hemi power and the unique torsion bar suspension of all Chrysler products, Dodge Plymouth and Chrysler all, had handling like a boss so that thing could hug the road on the highbanks real nicely. It's a Pity that NASCAR put their foot down on Hemi engines after that because the upper limits of what those cars were capable of is probably not been seen yet especially given adapting newer performance technology on the older but restored spaceframe

[@plymouthdie-castreplicas]

@@eddieschwab864 You're absolutely correct.

[@francispotter5300]

Wish l could order one , those were the day's , good old American made

[@whackamolechamp]

My Grandfather had a 67 Belvedere II 4 door with the 225 and 3 on the tree. Very smooth ride, comfortable seats. It handled all the NYC pot holes like a champ. Especially considering 6 adults along with 2 kids we would cram inside. He got a Chrysler Airtemp A/C window unit too as part of a package deal. They made outstanding products back then.

Ahhhh give me a time machine. R.I.P. Plymouth.

[@lenconnell1]

The 67 Belvedere II was a very simply built and reliable car. Definitely on the low end of the product line though. The 318 LA small block V8 was under powered and too heavy. The self adjusting valves were problematic. The carburetor was too small and the low rpm engine made it difficult to fit a 4 barrel without losing low end power. Plymouth figured it out when they made the small block 340 later in the decade. I always wished I had that car with the 360 small block that appeared in the 1970s, that would have done the trick. The racetrack outside fuel cap was ...kokey...and most people bought locking gas caps to avoid people stealing them. Could have used a locking fuel door. Yet, it was a car for its time, designed for the low end market. Little old lady going to bingo car or old geezer looking for a Sunday driver. If I had mine today, I would likely do a pull out and put a 360/ 5.7 liter magnum with fuel injection and a 4 speed automatic overdrive tranny in its place.

5 years or 50,000 mile warranty. Cars have come along way as far as mileage and durability. Even up to the early 80's, if you got a 100,000 miles out of a car, most were ready to junk. The engines would go and the bodies would rust out. It kept Detroit busy building more though.

Don't understand the mopar collectors,don't get me wrong I like the 68-70 b-bodies, but they don't compare with the 66-67 b-bodies. So much more beautiful and muscular of a car. You just look at a 66-67 and you just wanna go fast. Dont believe the ad you just seen, as the hemi and the 440 were available in the other b-body models also. Believe me, i have a factory L code 67 satellite. Was kind of like ordering a COPO chevy, a little pushing and pursasion got you what you wanted. And the proof is in the video. That black satellite is a 426 car. Just look down at fender badge.

Oh these high tech slide shows were so groovy. You could fit the contents of a 1 bedroom apartment in the trunk of these beauties. NASA should have launched the Satellite into orbit, beat Elon to the punch. The 67 Plymouths were a very clean design, goodbye to the fins and odd styling of 1958-1962 models. Things really improved in 63 and got better to the 67 models, but in 68 they started to add bulk and blimped out bulges and that was the end of the clean styling of 67. It's what makes the 67 Plymouths so different. Thanks for uploading these hysterical, I mean historical, documents. 👍

67 GTX only had two features that I didn't care for. Fake hood scoops and the design of the rear wheel well. The rear well looked like fender skirts. Ford did the same thing with the Fairlane.
