Plymouth Satellite Frankenstein Drift Car (BMW E36 + Ford Explorer + LS)

[@NoDatePlease]

Drifting a muscle car has been a dream of mine ever since I watched Tokyo Drift!

[@christian_coulson]

same!

[@stephanhull3083]

I wanted to see that GTX get thrown around so bad, we got teased in the final scene

We got a few XY Falcon drifters here in Australia

There's actually one of these in that movie. "I won it from my friend Han a few years ago." 👍😉

I could not stop smiling while looking at this beautiful car

[@dionisagustin2785]

Dude can drive and build! But what I’m more impressed with is how with it he is while being no where near pretentious. Seems like Kiely’s truly enjoying the sport and not trying to be something. I’d hang around this dude way before a lot of the personalities these days.

[@318isGood]

This guy doesn't need the internet's opinion; he's doing just great but I'm still glad it's here. This video reminds me of the old SpeedHunters days. Really glad this made it to your channel. Thanks for sharing the way you do Larry

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

For those of us who really know the MoPar parts bins, it's probably possible to do this with all 'factory' parts, but no where near as easily and as budget friendly as done here. 13:42 - Back in the day,... On dirt roads, at much slower speeds. Factory suspension would slide on dirt, or maybe in the rain, but equally ready to bite and put you in to a curb or the trees, with the rear end hopping around more then Bugs Bunny on Acid. The real surprise is that the Satellite hasn't rejected that heart transplant - there's a reason most MoPar guys won't drop an LS in, the cars destroy them, almost out of spite,... so he has to be beating on the motor for the car to let it stay.

[@SchoolforHackers]

True. It’s blasphemy.

[@Modjira]

Please don't paint it.

[@whiffyauto2108]

Your telling the wrong person

[@thomasmenard1799]

[@pushedeyeso]

For the love of god don’t paint it

[@racer67]

Only paint that needs to go on it is a 02 on the doors! 🇺🇲

Just put a mat coat on it to keep the metal from rusting

[@bigblockjalopy]

Certainly not, they are Americans, Not Germans

[@skyler9988]

@@bigblockjalopy It's all original except for the axle and suspension, plus they sling it around the corners pretty much everywhere they go, so the BMW front suspension swap for more angle and contact patch shouldn't bother them much

[@bigblockjalopy]

@@skyler9988 I'm roadracing a torsion bar Plymouth for almost 37 years over here in Germany. The dual control arm front axle is great, it is the rear axle that could be improved.

Unique build, thanks for sharing this vehicle with us!

This ain’t Mater, this is his little brother Tater.

[@jelly7310]

I used to drift my moms 78 Caprice on an old dirt/gravel road just past the high school in Alabama. My buddy had his moms ol LeSabre sideways a few times. Lost two spoke hubcaps one evening. This was back in the late 80s and we hadn't even heard of "drifting". I don't know what we called what we were doing on that gravel road but it sure was fun. We all grew up around dirt track racing so we were just imitating those guys. My old best friend, Bobby Joe Robinson is still dirt track racing today.

[@bddmhopp5]

This guy knows how to drive!

[@noelongoco5532]

I've seen some Satellites, they make other cars look like little speedboats compared to their aircraft carrier presence. I can't imagine them going sideways, but with this build, my imagination just got blown away with this gigantic slidin' 2-ton hunk of reality. This is the antithesis of all traditionally drift and I love it, Carry on sir, carry on!!!!

[@dartdude4084]

Get a grip dummy. These cars don't weight 2 tons and came stock with a V8. No slouch

[@robertsthought3755]

Looks like forza when tandeming, because of how out of place a 60's car is to see in action. Id love a series of vintage car drifting

[@johncarl5505]

That's one thing Forza has over other games. Everyone always uses the same cars in other games.

[@wolfyhalfmoon819]

💯 agreed

[@toddthezondalover645]

I love using the Coronet Super Bee

[@patrikhanc1995]

this thing is freakin cool ... roadkill approved

[@nitrousexplosion10]

Truly a great build hope this inspires others. Just remember this car could just be another sitting in a barn somewhere.. this guy saved this car.

[@SchoolforHackers]

The difference between models is so much more than grills and trim! Sway bars(or none), fat torsion bars or skinny, differential sizes and ratios, motor options, tranny options, 14 or 15 wheels, bench or bucket, console or not, shifter choices. Want a 440 B body with a 4 speed, pistol grip shifter, 4:10s, 15s, buckets and console? That’s a GTX. Ed: Yes I had one (1968). Yes I sold it. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

[@martinliehs2513]

I've been a fan of the late 60s and early 70s Mopars, but I only just noticed the intricately formed rear window glass. A triple curve mix of concave and convex forms that seems quite unique.

[@peteloomis8456]

The GTX was its own package that is basically a high-end Plymouth Road runner on steroids. I have a friend that's just about done with his 68 Plymouth GTX convertible that's a 440 4 barrels with the 727 auto & a 8 &3/3 rear with 3:55 sure grip . He also has a restored 68 Dodge Dart 383 4spd car that's restored to original specs .

[@SchoolforHackers]

[@Impactjunky]

The 68-70 Mopar B body was an excellent high performance car platform that lent itself well to tuning and modifications. I've been daily driving a lime green 68 with this same style of hood and wheels for about 15 years now and Motor Trend/Car Craft picked it as one of the top ten rides of the Hot Rod Power Tour! The unibody is very stiff, light and well balanced and the factory front suspension is fully adjustable for height, stiffness, alignment etcetera and the factory rear "super stock" springs are super stiff and also adjustable via clamps and shackles. Mine has a 400 HP carb swapped 5.9 Magnum with a big cam by Hughes Engines in Illinois. Mine is built to hook though, not slide. I've got it down to a 1.8 second 60 foot time which is faster than most hot AWD cars and is the same as a Tesla Model S and only a tenth of a second behind the Model S Plaids 1.7 second 60 foot time. I also recently installed the lightweight aluminum quick ratio steering box and steering arms that came in 1970 T/A Challengers and AAR Cuda's that were designed for road racing, this dropped 40 pounds off the front end and gave the car a responsive 12:1 steering ratio with enough wheel angle to rub the frame rails at full lock, and I also had the front end professionally rebuilt and aligned recently with red poly bushings and KYB gas shocks. It drives excellent for a 60 year old car and the only modern mods are red bushings, gas shocks and sticky tires.

[@russellchastain841]

Drove a 69 sport satellite for years 318 torque lite. A little cam and it sounded good at a red light😁 Great road car!!

[@SoI_Badguy]

The 66-67 B bodies are also a nice alternative if youre feeling different. They're generally cheaper as well.

[@Impactjunky]

@@SoI_Badguy Yep and most of the time the 66-67's are actually lighter too. Although I'm not certain if the brakes/suspension are identical to the 68-70 models.

[@SoI_Badguy]

@@Impactjunky the only annoying thing is that the low fenders on the rear make taking especially large wheels/tires on and off annoying. You can still fit a 295/50 on a 15×10 though, if your offset is right.

[@Impactjunky]

@@SoI_Badguy I've heard about that before. I love the wheel house space in my 68 though! When I first got the car I had 265 50 15s on 15x8's all the way around. That's a huge amount of tire for the front of an old car and it never rubbed! Later after I swapped the engine I switched to 295 50 15's in the rear and whatever I could find for the front. Now more recently I've moved up to a 285 70 15 in the rear which is 30.7 inches x 12.6 inches on my 15x8's. I put those super tall tires on it to make the 3.55 gears with no overdrive more reasonable on the highway now that I'm driving 700 miles twice a month to see my girlfriend.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I'm all for builds like this. Drift everything.

[@patrickfalter4487]

Gave me goosebumps watching that car tear around the track. Badass. Nice job

[@jcat96]

As someone who grew up all around B Bodies, this was my favorite car at gridlife BY FAR.

The way it sits is so perfect. Crazy that these were mid-size cars in the 60s/early 70s

[@KellyZitnak]

Richard petty and many other pioneered drifting these cars long before this guy, but they did it on dirt, and without the upgrades. I still love what this guy did. Wow!

[@ralphlazio505]

It’s pretty genius how you were able to create a way to adjust the camber and the caster with existing body panels and parts from the car itself and from the E 86…. Engineer, genius.👍🏼👍🏼 Fucking beautiful 😍

[@omega1575]

This is ridiculous. That thing is a boat. I love it and want to see a lot more of it.

[@mrmoss149]

Speaking as an " old guy", yes- we used to do that back in the day with MAN sized cars. If you did too much on asphalt/ concrete, you went to jail, but, you did it all the time on gravel roads & nobody gave a fuck. Good ol' boys were drifting LONG before it was " cool". Mine was a '69 charger with a 440 ( drilled slightly over) with a healthy cam & weiand 2 four tunnel ram. Had to run 1/2" fuel line & even that wasn't enough when you pressed the go-fast pedal.

[@jacobyouknowwho]
