Richard Petty did really good with the Plymouth Satellite body in the early to mid 70's he was a force battling David Pearson in those Mercury's. I was watching him win races while racing his Petty 43 Plymouth against Pearson's # 21 Mercury on my AFX slot track. They were awesome days to be a kid pretending to be your hero. Back when NASCAR's actually were more close to a car you could actually buy from your local dealer.

Ford Torino was a good looking car that year, but Plymouth Satellite beat everything else in it's class for styling and features. When you go to car shows now, nobody glaces twice at the Torinos from this era but everyone still stares long and hard at the unbelievably great styling of the Satellite. Everything Chrysler was designing during the fuselage/'coke bottle' inspired years has really stood the test of time as some of the most beautiful of all car styling.

I've owned Fords, Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Dodges and Plymouths since getting my License in 1973. MOPAR's have proven by far to be the best when it comes to engines and drivetrains. Hands down, THEE BEST by far. That said, GM and Ford interiors and other accoutrements beat MOPAR across the board. There will always be "Chevy Guys", "Ford Guys" and MOPAR Guys. It is all personal preference. Other statistics don't really matter. If you like it, it is best for YOU. That's true of art, music AND cars and trucks. If you don't like the way it drives you could watch sales pitches all day long and it won't change your mind... I love watching these nostalgic videos!

Say what you want about the Torino. My parents bought a brand new one in 1972 and drove it for years. It was a gas hog at a time when the Arab oil embargo sent gas prices skyrocketing. But it certainly proved itself years later when we were T-boned in a car accident when some knot head ran a red light and punched us in the side about 30 mph. We all walked out of it, having worn only the lap seat belts. The driver in the Monte Carlo, and his passenger, both left the accident in an ambulance. If I remember correctly my Dad was able to drive the Torino home after the crash.

I bought a '71 Torino 500 with 70K miles on it for $375 in 1979; senior year of high school. I thought it looked good but it was SLOW with the 302 and got horrible gas mileage. I always had electrical problems like not starting. Since it was heavy in the front and light in the rear i beat the hell out of it when it was running and laid rubber everywhere. BT's, neutral slaps, even throwing the car in reverse at 55 mph making big "W"'s in the street with rubber. Doing doughnuts was a blast. I always bought used snow tires and would go thru 1-2 sets a week. I can't believe the motor and especially the trans took all that abuse. I sold it for $200 a year later to another kid but it only lasted him a few weeks. Been into Mopar's ever since but have lost count on how many electrical components and ballast resistors i have replaced over the years. Most trouble free old car i ever owned was a '70 Cutlass Supreme. Sold that in 2003 after 13 years and the frame rusted thru. Wish i had a '71 Satellite now. I'd make it into a GTX or Roadrunner clone on the outside even if it had the slant 6 under the hood.

They actually did a pretty good job with them and I think they were killed way too soon.

I love the way they drove and handled but my big bicker about all three were getting them started in the winter time and keeping them running. I literally had a starter explode while trying to start my 76 Cougar.

5:48 mins. This is just beyond funny, and very sad given this was the year the ball of fire Pinto was introduced. Of course, Ford didn't care how many died.

The Torino GT looks way better than the Satellite and the Satellite in a 4 door is really ugly.

Satellite is butt ugly. Give me the Torino

Torino sucks. The video shows that. The satellite is beautiful and has the performance in the very least detail to back it up. Mopar or no car.

scdevon Yep, i was expecting this. I don't give a dry crap blowing in the wind about no stinking ford still selling nowadays. I also don't give a crap about these new pos calling themselves mopars. All these car carrying the good names of real cars from the good ol days are nothing more than pieces of shit.

Satellite was superior to Torino. Why Torino had more sales than superior Satellite in 1971?

Ford had the advertising dollars as well as the plants to pump them out. It's pretty hard to break out of third place, even when you have cutting edge technology.

1970 was a turning point for Chrysler. They peaked in 1969 in terms of styling, with the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda probably being the only standouts. This Satellite, for instance, is ugly as hell. I don’t know why they were so gung ho on loop bumpers. Downright ugly.
