That is a beauty! I'm not sure if I ever met you but I lived on Normandy Rd. about a block from Woodward, till I was 20 years old, went to Kimball HS . I'm 62 now. Spent most of my nights on Woodward watching and driving cars. Good to hear from someone from the neighborhood. Working on a Mopar project car with my son now.
 
Sweet car, my father-in-law ( currently helping me build my 64' Polara ) also had a 63'Galaxy with a Holman/ Moody 427 side oiler.
 
Love your Satellite--You really should enter it in Autorama--not enough of the 60's Mopars in that show anymore.
 
Great Satellite--you should put it in next year's Autorama--not enough 60's Mopars in that show anymore.
