Tony DeFeo and Geoff Stunkard reminisce about the glory years of magazine print media for the car culture. I enjoyed it, but don’t really miss it. Lots of money spent for only a few things that interested me. And having to store the damn things! :) I’ll take the internet on my phone.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1968-plymouth-satellite-15/#comments-anchor I paid $250 back in ‘88 for a rust free Arizona one. But that was 1988.

I’m having a hard time finding the right size vacuum hose for distributor advance and vacuum pull off on the choke. I think it’s 3/16, but Autozone doesn’t have it. Am I wrong on the size? All they seem to have is fuel line which is much thicker.

What’s that sound? Maybe the throwout bearing? Pretty clean underneath. Most were way rusted by the mid 80’s up here in the NE. They got it priced at $15,900.

Pretty interesting!

I never measured, but assumed that the 2 door looks sleeker because of the slope to meet the backlight. The side quarter window helps as well. I saw this vid and maybe he’s talking about the ‘71 up cars. They don’t share much if any sheet metal between the 2 and 4 door.

I agree, the price is high. But it just sounds like another “Mopar Guy” looking for, and pointing out what isn’t original or “correct”. While I can admire the OEM resto thing, I’ve always wanted something different than everything else. That’s why I don’t have a Fox body. :D

Some pretty kool stuff here. That psychedelic painted ‘68 BO23 was in barn that burnt down the day after it was sold. :thumbsup:

Damn! :D

I think this would matter more at the drag strip, with solid traction. But I remember pictures of the AA/SS cars having external oil lines back in old pix at the track. I also remember guys running a Moroso accumulator on the street. What’s your thoughts on this?

Nice looking car. Buckets and a 4 speed… I’d want the console as well but, cool. I don’t think they made many in white. Not a color I’d choose first. And not a #’s OEM so it can be driven and beat on a bit. $200k. That’s almost double what it would have been just 2 years ago.

Am I missing something? Junkyards are littered with LS motors. It’s got bigger rims and tires, better shocks. And it doesn’t even have a clutch. All these “mods” could be done by a high school kid in his driveway. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-pontiac-firebird-38/

I ordered a 60 amp mechanical regulator from Rockauto, and thought it was a direct replacement. It has a different mounting pattern, and the stock wiring won’t be long enough. I did have a PK41H Fury I Police car that I parted out back in the 80’s. So I might have a similar in the attic. Is it...

I put a new rebuild alternator in my ‘68 Satellite 383, and regulator. At idle the amp gauge is going back and forth between charge and discharge. Lights are following the gauge bright to dim. At higher RPM’s it acts normal. USA regulator, GM Chinese rebuilt alternator. Any ideas what would...

Does anyone have one? I was wondering what the earliest casting date is.

Prices have gotten silly on some of these ‘68-‘70 rotted out hulks that used to be a Charger. This one had me laughing! A column shift automatic, bench seat car, missing a lot of parts. Ha! Ha! :D 1970 Dodge Charger | eBay

I need to replace this fix a garage must have done before I bought the car in 2004. I’d like to get one with the ring connector on the end like this Ford part. But I need 16 Ga. Does anyone know where to get one? Thanks!

I recently experienced a no charge condition on my ‘68 Satellite it still had the original 35 amp alternator and a replacement voltage regulator. I got a new alternator for it and it worked for about a week. It’s now only moving the amp gauge to about zero if the engine is above 2500 RPM with no...

I need to get rid of too much negative camber that I’ve gotten after installing new lower ball joints. Do I want the suspension off load to adjust them... wheels in the air?

I think the OG single field 35 amp in my ‘68 Satellite is finally giving up the ghost. Any recommendations for one of these from Rock Auto, or elsewhere.? Thank you!
