I am looking to sell my dream wagon: I have for sale a ONE OWNER 1973 Plymouth Satellite Station Wagon that was custom ordered with a 318 and 3speed "on the tree" manual transmission. I have not registered the vehicle since I purchased it because I didn't want to lose its worth being a one owner vehicle. I do drive this wagon around the block and to the local gas station for fun. We're in the process of trying to obtain more equipment for our family hotrod/fabrication shop, so our loss is your gain!
Vehicle starts, runs, and drives fine. All gears shift as they should.
However:
The carburetor needs a high speed idler solenoid ($25-$35 on eBay) to keep a consistent idle. Car will run fine and idle fine for a while, but once gassed and the spring sticks on the idler sometimes, it'll lose idle/die when coming to a stop.
Motor is firing on all 8 and seems to be the original engine and transmission. Stays cool, has decent power considering it needs a basic tuneup. At some point, the original owner plugged the radiator lines for the heater, I assume the heater core needs replacing.
The body is extremely solid for its age. It has a few surface rust spots, and about two spots, I believe one on each rocker panel, an actual hole the size of a quarter. ALL of the glass is in good shape, all windows roll/function. Rear driver side door needs linkage fixed on outside, but opens/closes fine from the inside. Tailgate/hatch opens fine, window rolls down nice and easy.
The original AM radio works! At one point the original owner also installed an 8-track, and it still functions! We listened to an 8 track we found in the back seat. It also has a functioning fan on the dash.
Basically, when you sit down and fire this thing up, you feel like you're 30 years back in time. It's such a blast.
I hate to sell this wagon, but as it is, we need a TIG welder and a few other odds and ends to expand our family start-up business. I WOULD consider trades and money for a TIG welder or possibly other items. (I'm a state certified combination welder)
We're asking $3300.00(reduced to $2700!) but I'm open to offers. The car is located in Maryville, TN. I am including 30+ photos of the car, and will be and am trying to be as honest as I possibly can. Please feel free to ask any questions if you're a serious buyer.

End of pictures.
Additional notes:
Front bench seat needs to be recovered, drivers area completely worn/torn.
Most doors will need the armrest piece replaced, common.
As the picture shows, there are NO real dings or dents on this car. There is a small area above the passenger wheel well that has a scuff from rubbing across something, but is nothing critical.
Mopar license plate included (haha)
Message me if seriously interested and/or need to talk. Otherwise please put any questions you have that are basic in the for-sale thread.

.. Im not a good judge on prices, i seem to get surprised with what others consider a good price and usually go by what is said here as many are knowledgeable here and can be trusted.. I will say this for the price your asking i would take the time and money and buy the high speed idler solenoid for the carb and put it on.. And i think if possible replace the heater core or at the least have one to go with the car.. A one time owner is not something you hear very much, cool... Remember you asked lol.
