One of the most notable changes witnessed by the short-lived second-generation Satellite was the debut of the Sport model in 1968.
As an upgraded base Satellite, the Sport version came standard with the 318 but could also be ordered with the more powerful engines in the lineup. The early success recorded by the Sport Satellite convinced Plymouth to expand the series, so a four-door sedan went live a year later.
A 1970 Sport Satellite is now fighting for life after spending a long time in someone's yard. Posted on eBay a few hours ago, this rough Satellite will likely require a ton of work, especially because it has likely been sleeping under the clear sky for years.
The photos are living proof that whoever buys this Sport Satellite will have a hard time bringing it back to the road. The metal is rough, as the car's condition pushes it painfully close to a rust bucket. The floors look wrecked, and I don't expect good news in the trunk.
The body also exhibits similar metal damage, though not all panels require critical repairs. The rust seems to happen mostly on the surface, but you'll have to inspect every inch of metal in person to determine the overall shape more accurately.
The interior looks complete but aligns with the challenging shape of the car. I don't think the seats are fixable, but the good news is that the Satellite doesn't seem to come with any big parts missing. Theoretically, it means the Sport Satellite did not serve as a donor for another project, but it's impossible to tell this for sure without first seeing the car in person.
The engine under the hood is the original 383, though it's unclear if the mill at least turns over. Considering the rough shape of the car, I don't expect it to be in working condition today, but hopefully, it turns over by hand. The 383 was a potent choice for a Satellite in 1970, though everybody drooled over the 426 or the 440 big blocks.
The pictures shared by seller beynum62 confirm that restoring this Satellite isn't a project aimed at the faint of heart, as it requires major fixes on every front. However, despite the rough shape, the owner isn't willing to let it go cheaply, claiming that the Sport Satellite is a rare model, and their example is a unique occasion to restore a gem.
The vehicle can be yours for $6,000, but the owner might also accept other deals, considering the Make Offer option is also enabled. Buyers who want to see the vehicle in person before committing to a purchase must travel to Waldorf, Maryland, where this Sport Satellite waits for the end of the eBay battle.
