New Mopar owner

[66Satellite_in_NC]

Hello,
I just joined the forum and have all ready begun searching all that I can. A few days ago I purchased a 1966 Satellite and after towing it from Florida it proudly sits in North Carolina. I just re-installed the drive shaft since a tow dolly was the only way I could get it the 600 miles back to my home. It is a console car with a/c (not currently working) and 318 w/4 barrel. The car is in really great shape with only minor paint flaws that will hopefully be addressed soon. This is my first Mopar product, have always been a Ford man but the lines of this car caught my attention and it got a lot of thumbs up bringing it home with even a question of "Is it for sale" when towing it.



I will be asking a lot of questions in the near future but trying to use the search function as much as I can. Glad to be here and I hope to join in discussions when I can.

Bill

Awesome car. I always loved the lines of that car myself. I'm a life long Mopar fanatic since 10 years old and finally have my 1st Mopar as well. As you dig into it, I'd love to hear your input on just how different the engineering is on a Mopar vs Ford. My dad's a Chevy guy (mostly Vettes) and he's always shocked at just how different everything is. Welcome aboard.

welcome home..there aint nothing like the mopar body style is there.dont get me wrong Ford had a nice motor in the 427 but they kindda missed out on the body styles somewhat...I do know this,the 66,67 fairlane,galaxie,torino,mercury cyclone,ect..were bad a..body styles.but a Mopar..well, what can I say. Dodge and Plymouth has the best body lines in the business and engines to back em up... you know this cause you got one..sweet ride my friend..enjoy..and God Bless...Bear R.-..ps..Man that is a nice car.wow...
