The Plymouth Satellite was part of the Belvedere line and was considered to be the top of the line. This Satellite was owned by the first owner until 2006 when it was passed on and later treated to an exterior restoration. When the car was painted, they retained the original color of Ruby Red and applied a new White Vinyl Roof and both are in like new condition! The original interior was detailed and reinstalled because of its near perfect condition. Being a Satellite, this car had more amenities than most, with options like the Bucket Seats, Full length console, AM Transaudio Radio, Padded Dash and Rear Arm Rest, Upgraded Seat Belts, Variable Speed Wipers with Washer, and the Light Group Package including Back-Up, Trunk, Parking Brake, and Glove Box lights.
There were a few engine options available on the ’65 and the original owner chose wisely. This Satellite came with the 383 Commando V8 which put out 330 Horsepower and a whopping 425 lbs of Torque! Paired with the super rare 4 speed transmission and the 3:23 Super Grip rear end , this Satellite was a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing! All that power was spent through a true dual exhaust that was also brought back to factory specs.
This Satellite truly drives like the day it was born in January of ’65. The optioned Suspension Package with Firm Ride Shocks keeps the car planted at speed but comfortable when cruising. The engine starts and runs effortlessly, until the secondary’s open up and the 425 lbs of torque roar to life! The transmission Shifts crisply and directly through all gears, thanks to the Hurst shifter.
A thorough TLD service and inspection has just been performed to make sure that this car meets our strict standards. This Plymouth is one of the finest examples of a ’65 Satellite out there today. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a true piece of MOPAR history. Stop by our showroom and see how nice this Satellite really is, down to The Last Detail.

Racing Legend ‘Grumpy’ Jenkins To Be Remembered At Mecum’s Indy Auction
Hall of Fame Racing Legend Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins may be lost, but Mecum Auctions will help keep his legacy alive this May 14-19 at Dana Mecum’s 26th Original Spring Classic auction in Indianapolis with the auctioning of “Grumpy’s Stuff” featuring more than 150 personal artifacts from his estate to be offered Saturday, May 18, all at no reserve.
“Grumpy,” as he was known by most, made a name for himself in the ‘60s drag racing in the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) using cars equipped with engines he had enhanced on his own. Jenkins would often take off down the strip with a lit cigar wedged between his teeth and come out ahead without even breaking a sweat.
More than a champion racer, Jenkins is even better remembered for the numerous mechanical innovations he developed through the years including drag racing’s first kick-out oil pan and Pro Stock’s strut-style front suspension. He was also personally responsible for building 30 vehicles that set national records in various racing venues and that won a total of 61 races including eight championships. “He was a mechanical engineer to a fault,” describes friend and estate executor Dick Williams. “He was lost in his own world; he was like an artist that way. If he was back working on something you might have to remind him to eat.”
Join Mecum this May 18 in immortalizing this revered man by celebrating his life through his most prized possessions including trophies, awards, model cars and competition jackets, just a few of the many things that comprise the collection. Stars of the lineup will be Grumpy’s 2004 Red on Black GTO Coupe (Lot S1) and his personal Snap-On tool box (Lot K175) from the late ‘60s with all the tools and trinkets. There is no better place than at Mecum’s Indy auction to attain a piece of history and pay homage to a man who spent his life behind the wheel and under the hood.
Thirty-two hours of the Indianapolis auction will be broadcast live on Discovery’s Velocity Network with the entire auction streaming live on Mecum’s website at www.mecum.com. Mecum’s Indy auction is open to buyers, sellers and spectators. Gates open at 8 a.m. each day and general admission can be purchased at the door for $20 per person; children 12 and younger will be admitted at no cost. For more information on the auction or to register as a bidder, visit www.mecum.com or call (262) 275-5050.
