Detail about this car by owner
Offering a rare 1968 Satellite GTX w/ original 440 CI V8 (375 hp) and COLUMN SHIFT Torque Flight 3 speed auto, 2 door hardtop. Bench seats front and rear. This is a local car and has been garaged 99% of it's life. NO rust. Drives like a new car. Doesn't rattle or squeak. Drivers window and the others roll up and down like new. It's definitely "Tight". It's what I know as a Survivor Car. . .w/ a new external paint job (by a body/paint guy that does million dollar cars for Pebble Beach)...it looks Great. Front seats are reupholstered and it needed a new carpet too. The rest of the interior...pretty much the rest of everything. Original radiator is rare and cools the hot motor well. Trunk panel which is original looks good as it can r/t this un-reproduced universally pitted from exhaust (poor design) item. Paint code matches the color of the car. . .Electric Blue Metallic and was repainted EXTERNALLY recently due to a lifetime of door dings and chips. I call it a "Sympathetic Restoration". . .nothing more than needed. All original body panels, trunk and engine compartments and has never been bent. Mechanical's are all original. Odometer shows 42K? It was 'retired'...parked in 1990, in a garage. It has Power Steering and 4 wheel drum brakes. Good driver: starts up, goes like stink, turns, stops eventually and the heater and wipers work for those cool/wet NW nights, or more likely if caught in a rain storm on the way back from the car show. The 440 has the sweetest sound through its original thick steel (compared to current repo's) exhaust (with new mufflers since some things do wear out). . .love those exhaust tips. NUMBERS MATCH on this wonderful car. This was a literal grocery getter for the late owner. Original window sticker w/ original owners and warranty manual is present. BUCK plate (fender tag) is present. Includes most of the desired "Pedigree paper work" (original license plates and frames from BC Hawk in Bellevue) as somewhat noted in the above dialogue (window sticker etc). Unfortunately the "Broadcast Sheet" (build sheet) has been temporarily misplaced. Hopefully it will be found. The grille looks great. Original license plates are on the car and are considered Restored Class. It has a 3.23 Sure Grip differential. As mentioned, it is a local car but has no currently located service records (a couple in there fifties bought it new and have since passed). Keep in mind this is a car that could be bought in Seattle and driven home to Spokane or wherever...it drives. Come see it starting Monday the 14th. First come first served. That's a lot of greenbacks. Wire transfer preferred.
