Some enthusiasts will cling onto a classic to the bitter end, preferring to see their pride and joy gathering dust in a garage than going to a new home where it will be driven and appreciated. That makes this 1967 Plymouth Satellite a breath of fresh air. The seller acknowledges that they no longer have time to slip behind the wheel, and are ready to part with a vehicle that perfectly combines looks and stunning performance. Therefore, they have listed the Plymouth here on Craigslist in Camillus, New York. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting a classic that could be yours for $25,900.

Plymouth introduced its First Generation Satellite in 1965, with cars remaining in production until its replacement hit showroom floors for the 1968 model year. The company only offered two body styles, the two-door Hardtop, and a Convertible. This 1967 Hardtop is an attractive vehicle, finished in White with contrasting Red stripes on the hood and trunk lid. The aftermarket wheels further accentuate its muscular appearance. The paint shines nicely, the panels are as straight as an arrow, and there are no visible significant cosmetic shortcomings. However, this Satellite is more than a pretty face, with the underside shots seemingly confirming that this classic is rust-free. There is a dusting of surface corrosion, but no evidence of steel penetration. The trim is in good condition, and the glass is clear.

Plymouth offered 1967 Satellite buyers a broad range of V8s to power their new purchase, but the seller followed a different path during their build. They provide no information on the source or vintage of the 360ci V8 under the hood, but confirm that it would produce significantly more power and torque than it would have when it left the factory. It received a recent rebuild that included a 0.040″ overbore, new plasma moly rings, a new oil pump and pan, an upgraded camshaft, and a new intake. The heads were milled, ported, and polished, and the block was decked. Add roller rockers, a new Holley carburetor, an MSD ignition system, and Flowmaster headers into the mix, and this should be one potent powerplant. A three-speed TorqueFlite with a shift kit feeds the prodigious power to a 3.23 Posi rear end, while the buyer also receives power-assisted steering and front disc brakes. There is no specific information supplied by the seller regarding how the car runs and drives, although the impression conveyed is positive. They appear approachable and are willing to supply additional photos and a video of the car running to interested parties.

The theme of tidy presentation continues inside this Satellite, with no visible issues with the Red vinyl trim or the matching carpet. The dash and pad are excellent, and the bucket seats and console provide a luxurious impression. Visible upgrades include a tach on the console and an array of gauges to monitor the V8’s health. Potential buyers who crave documentation will welcome the original Window Sticker, Broadcast Sheet, Fender Tag, Certicard, and twenty-five years’ worth of invoices and receipts.

I admire the seller because the amount of time, effort, and money they have invested into this 1967 Plymouth Satellite would be ample justification to many for them to keep it safely squirreled away in their garage, taking it out for the occasional gallop to keep the fluids flowing. However, they have decided that it deserves better than that. They created this car to be driven and enjoyed, and are willing to let someone else have that privilege. Are you tempted to be that person?
