Mike, thanks for the warning about suspicious e-mails.....the LAST thing we need on this computer is a virus. I've had so much trouble trying to get from one page to another, here on MCF and other places, I gave up yesterday and turned the computer off completely. Now I think it's time to call Tech Support - they were very helpful last time. I just hate to give in and admit I can't figure out the problem.

Good afternoon everybody. All the arrangements have been made, our tombstone is ordered. Feels kind of weird to have my name and birthdate on there... Enough of that.
As some of you know, Mopars are my first love. I had given up the old school Mopar hobby and moved on to Daytonas, but I kind of found something:




1969 Plymouth Satellite, 318 automatic, 85,000 original miles, and rock solid. Not a 100 point show car, but a very nice driver. Looks just like a Roadrunner. Price is in my range, it's going to be hard not to purchase it. I drove it this morning. I mention it here, because I may have to sell the Pace Car later on if I get this. Not that I need the money that bad, but I SERIOUSLY will have too many cars to drive. I wish my Explorer was already gone.

Thanks Keane. It has a 440 six pak Hood on it and black wheels, but it's no Roadrunner clone and never will be. All the Satellite badging remains on the car. Currently has single exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 dumped by rear axle. Sounds amazing for a 318 with single exhaust, but I'll be going to duals of course. IF I buy it.

Kerry, only a 318, I'd pass on that, that car is a boat, you need more power for a car like that.........

Actually, it comes with a 440 and everything needed to convert.
Car was ordered with the heavy duty suspension so I don't even have to change the K-member. Has all the paperwork, buildsheets, window sticker... Kind of oddly optioned, has 8 3/4 sure grip rear end with 3.23's even though it was ordered with a 2 bbl 318.
Having said all that, it runs fine. I just want a cruiser anyway, not a drag car.
