Louise is Back for Some TLC | 1965 Plymouth Satellite

[@fratzogmopars]

What a surprise ending. Glad to see Loueze back.

Yeah, I never planned on this happening but it turned out kinda cool.

So happy to see Louise return to a home where she's truly appreciated.. In 1968 I was an Englishman newly married to a gorgeous California gal and my first car was a '65 Satellite with the sturdy 318 engine bought for $1,479 in Pasadena with 43,300 on the clock. How I wish I still had that car, she was a gem, a sweet car with no vices.. I drove her all.over the US for vacations, and business trips putting another 86,000 on her. I had to repaint the roof when the factory paint blistered a bit around her fifth birthday, but never had to touch the engine. She was still getting around 16 to the gallon on the highway on leaded premium when I traded her in for a 67 Jaguar XK-E..with the 3.8 liter in line six..Oh boy, was that ever an expensive.mistake! But I learned.my lesson and bought a '70 Plymouth Fury III Sport Coupe with the 383 engine... I never felt the connection with that car like the joy my Satellite gave me. Her name was Judy, just like my wife.

That's a great story John, I really like the E type jag as well. But who doesn't. Thanks for sharing.

That brake tool comes in very handy. Glad to see it back in use, after years in my toolbox.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

I'm glad to have it Bob and thanks again. Way more leverage available than the off the shelf stuff.

Congratulations on getting her back.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Thanks David

Great Closing, and glad to see it come back home!

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Me too!

[@jimbo3214]

Happy for you and glad to see her back!

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Yep, she's a great car to drive.

[@charliesouth2995]

Glad to see you got Louise back! She's a keeper!

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

She's a keeper, a well preserved older woman for sure.

[@keithsims86]

I'm happy you got her back.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Thanks

Never hurts to buy on back. A few years ago, we had a '99 2 door Tahoe. We sold it to a guy in Indiana, and now recently we've been seeing it around where we live in Kentucky......I think it's trying to come back home.....😂

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Funny, they say that the horse knows the way back to the barn.

[@Roosters_Restos]

I had a car like that subframed and dana and 850hp blown 440. It was fun. I kept the goodies and sold the shell to the son of the guy that bought it new.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Now that's a cool story. I'm considering sub frame connectors as well.

[@Roosters_Restos]

@Chuck_House_of_Mopar if your thinkin for the 65 you don't need it. 500hp and up and if you were racing all the time.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Rooster, not sure what you mean. The Satellite could use some different parts that would help with fuel economy and drivability. The added benefit is a few more ponies.

[@jeffdavis5704]

Glad you got her back, you will get it running good and not drive it in shitty weather.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

One of my buddies actually saw her out in the slop, no more of that for sure.

[@mikeymopar1171]

Been a few months since I watched one of your videos Chuck I don't see your black Cuda in the garage do you still own that nice seeing Louise back

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Yep I still have the Cuda, I need to get it back and do some spring maintenance on her. Thanks

[@zenoslayer9618]

Had 2 cars like yours. 56 light blue savoy push button auto v8. 4 cars later 65 satellite black on black 4 speed 383 780 holly headers buckets . A but life moves on

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Very cool. You're right, you can't keep them all.

[@waynecarpenter1725]

Do you have stickers?

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

I do have stickers. Send me your address to [e-mail]

[@frankparks4900]

And who said you can never go back home? CONGRATS!

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Thanks Frank, I never figured on this but it worked out.
