"let’s mount a cannon in the trunk, fire it downward, and blast this Impala into the sky like Evel Knievel in a steel coffin" (Hal Needham invented the car flipping canon, and this was it's 1st use) A movie review of McQ, the John Wayne movie with a Trans Am in 1974 Thank you Doug!

I haven't seen that movie in decades, and didn't make the connection when I saw it what a similarity there was between McQ and Bullitt. 

a true story of a guy that wanted a Superbird bad enough to build one from a Satellite. Lucky for him, he already had the 440 six pack.

fully-caged drift-spec '69 Satellite made from what was a lot of rust around a 318/904/8.25 combo that was tossed into the junkyard and replaced with an LS9, Tremec T56, and BMW E36 front end

This was a huge surprise, a 73 Sport Satellite that's been a daily driver for 51 years!

this guy's mom bought the car in 1973!

 

a guy was called up, by a friend who has the 68 Satellite his parents bought, and went cross country with... and the title is still in his dad's name, even through it's had two owners since 1978 who didn't title it

 why the Satellite has pushbars? Must be a cop car?

not having traction can be fun too, if the parking lot is really big, and empty, and has just the right amount of snow

How is this not already snapped up? 440 powered '71 station wagon that look this and are priced this low ought to get snapped up fast. So far, it's only bid to 9200, no idea how high the reserve is

too damn bad there aren't more all Mopar car shows in So Cal, at least one a month would be really nice

just needs some sponsor stickers and racing numbers on the doors

I've never heard of the 1974 Satellite Sundance, but they only made about 300 of them, and they aren't desirable in any way, so it's not any surprise they are forgotten

1974 was a end run year, the Satellite body was only given minor updates mainly for emissions and safety compliance. The series trim level started with Satellite, Satellite Custom, Roadrunner occupied the performance end while Sebring and Sebring Plus took care of the premium trim series.

the Sundance coupe which offered a unique set of graphics on the hood and sail panels and a special interior to coordinate with the metallic gold paint. It was a Spring Promo based on the Sebring Plus model. The Sundance option gave you a special interior with white vinyl bolsters and Sundance pattern cloth inserts on door panels and seats. The exterior received Sundance sail panel decals, grille header panel decal.

interesting Mopars at Del Mar Goodguys

believe it or not the above 67 Charger is for sale, with nothing more than a 383 727 and unknown they want 35 k for it. Just a rust free nice Mopar, nothing special, and they think someone will pay 35k

cool looking tail panel design

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3502611936729661&set=pcb.5805270596261554

someone built a cool dragstrip 65 Satellite, 440, 727, 8.75 - and sold it to a flipper company who only wants 35k for it. Sweet deal

if that's a bit too much money, they're also selling a 63 Fury, 440, 4 spd

https://www.garagekeptmotors.com/vehicles/2594/1963-plymouth-fury

if you need something far more rare and cool, they have a 440 six pack super bee 4spd, might be a real A12, but they haven't claimed that. 

but it's a 150k

interesting cover art on Chemical Brothers 1995 album ‘Exit planet dust’

The cove was intentionally a world away from the 90's ‘fractals’ and computer graphics that adorned other dance albums of the time; as Ed told Medium in 2017, “We wanted something a bit more romantic and otherworldly with soft, nice colours. It’s the wrong way round as well — intentionally. “If me and Tom are in that picture we’re in the car going Oh she’s alright, I wish I had a guitar on my back with her.”
