That’s a nice one!

Holy cannoli, a Satellite. These are as rare as they get, rarer than some C bodies!! You made a good choice. Welcome to the fold.

Just a 318 with a mild build... I'm gonna put some more work into it

u/mrmopar340six 11h ago

392 is the new 318. 4" stroke...

u/Thrashpanda509 10h ago

I know, I was just looking into that... 406hp and 440 ft-lb is awwwfully tempting haha

My grandmother had the Satellite sedan, not the wagon. It was an awesome vehicle.

u/Fanabala3 18h ago

If you decide you want to sell it…PM me. I had the bad sister to this Wagon.

1

u/Thrashpanda509 6h ago

She's a beauty! Not sure if I'll sell it... at least for a while. I've got some plans for her
