Last week I helped move my 95 year old great uncle out of his house on a ranch my family owns in the Chico area. We ended up finding his 1966 Plymouth Satillite beneith inches of dust. 318 V8, 2 barrel carb, factory AC, black leather. All four tires were flat, couldnt see through the windows, three wheels were frozen and wouldnt roll, no brakes, the motor looked like it was covered in mud....
After trailering it back here to the Bay, a day with the pressure washer and a little frustration, its running.
I wish i had taken photos yesterday to show how bad it really was. Ill add photos as things about the car change.

I havent decided. Ive already been offered 7k. right now i have about $250 invested.
Trailering it here Battery Fuel Filter Brake Fluid Cleaning shit...etc
Next on deck is Exhaust from the manifolds back. The stock exhaust is all rotted out. While it was on the trailer the exhaust fell off from the muffler back. It was the only corosion on the car. NO RUST.
The plan as of now is to make it run and look as nice as possible. Id totally love to keep it and build a muscle car. Its got charactor. Been in the family since 1966. All nummbers match, all original....Time will tell. [ August 10, 2007, 12:47 AM: Message edited by: SN Roush ]

It's worth more than $7K. Drop a Hemi and make it a GTX clone. Just kidding.
