LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Plymouth Satellite No other word, engine designation or advertisement campaign emerged more famous from the muscle car era than “HEMI”. Forever attached to the MOPAR muscle car, the HEMI, released in 426 cubic inch street form in 1966, would go down in history as a legendary motor, capable of incredible performance for the track or street. Motor Trend Magazine described the acceleration performance as “absolutely shattering”. Finished in the colour that's always timeless, black with black interior, this 1966 Plymouth Satellite is a great example of the top of the line Plymouth B-body coupe with a 426 Street HEMI engine and a 4 speed transmission. When selecting the HEMI option on a MOPAR, other upgrades were necessary to handle the power from the massive motor such as the bulletproof DANA 60 rear axle and a larger radiator to keep things cool. This particular car also comes nicely setup with front bucket seats, console, console mounted tach, Magnum wheels with Redline radial tires and loads of chrome and aluminum trim contrasting the black paint. There is no hiding the 426 HEMI badges on the front fenders or the exciting noises exiting through the dual exhaust.
This Satellite has been very nicely restored; the black shows exquisitely and is only further accented by the restored or new chrome and bright work seen throughout. A true “H” code 1966 street HEMI Satellite with a 4 speed, one of the proper original MOPAR HEMI muscle cars; perfect for the enthusiast or collector to show, drive and enjoy!
