73 Plymouth Satellite SLEEPER Build - The Street Sweeper

73 Plymouth Satellite SLEEPER Build - The Street Sweeper - Stacey David's Gearz S8 E11

Stacey dives into the world of the sleeper, by taking a non-descript ’73 Plymouth Satellite, and begins transforming it into a street pounding monster under the skin. Gone is the lethargic 318 engine and front suspension, and in its place Stacey begins fitting a new state of the art performance suspension. If you are into surprising people at stop lights and run-what-you-brung race nights, then a “Street Sweeper” just might be the sort of approach you want to take on your next project.

It would've survived if the fire dept. hadn't used 1000 gallons of water. You'd be very hard pressed to find these anymore and if you do, most want 12 to 20 grand for it, the ones worth having anyway. I've been shopping.

Ayup Only mods were internal to engine (bore out, cam, etc), diff rear end gears, and putting a 4bbl carb on (since these type cars usually had 2bbl.), lightly beef up suspension, & maybe add nitrous That way, if the competition demanded to see under the hood, to try catching hustlers, they were less likely to be suspicious

The color of the block was wrong too, Every 318 ever built from the factory was Corporate (Chrysler) Blue, it probally had a cam and been bored before also, that engine was nowhere near stock or original, I wouldn't have done everything he did to it because it was already a great car. I would have just thrown some chrome wheels on it and lowered it a little and called it good.

If anybody thinks doing a Plymouth Satellite up right is not worth it doesn't know Mopar, plus anything with a little fitting, from a Roadrunner and a GTX will fit it is the perfect way to get a classic muscle car on a budget. Thanks man for proving this Mr David. -Small story my grandfathers where big friends my mom's dad a Mopar or no car guy and my dad's Dad was a gm guy but they both where great at fixing cars. My dad own a Pontiac Trans Am at the time. One day he was sitting in the driveway of the old homested and he hear a car built about out of it's tail pipes and thought "I'm the only one around here that has a car with that type of horsepower" little did he know his dad had bought a part as a favor for my other grandpa. my mom was 13 at the time and my dad 16 for referance, this 69' Plymouth Roadrunner barreled in to the driveway and my mom gets out the drivers seat and my dad said to himself I'm gonna marry that woman and about 5 years later he did and here I am. My parents fell in love because of there parents knowing each other and there mutual love of cars. But my dad's Dad didn't like it when my dad became a Mopar guy he got rid of the trans am for a 68 GTX.

That Hemi alone probably cost close to 30,000 lol Ray Barton isn't cheap but builds some of fastest Hemis around . Can't do a whole lot with the 318 because the pistons sit low in the block so custom pistons & a lot of block decking required to get decent compression out of them so you would be better off with a 340 360 SB or a 408 SB stroker . Or any of the 383 400 413 440 BB that can be stroked as well to make as much HP as the Hemi but cheaper & not so finiky on the street like most are !

The savings comes in the price of the car. Not the mods.

I'm restoring two 1974 trucks. An F350 Super Duty and an International 200. The odd detail about both of these trucks is that they have been operated for a small government in the capacity of road/highway maintenance. [the Ford was a road maintenance truck for the City of Norwalk, CA and the International was a road maintenance truck for Adair County, MO] Both have beefed up suspensions, extra heavy frames, extra strong bed frames, overload springs and enhanced engine cooling packages for towing trailers with road repair equipment around. (~_^)-b Both have really badly damaged [dented, rusted, busted glass, nightmare electrical problems etc] cabs. /( -_-)\ The reason I got them so cheaply is because they were either illegal [Ford windshield is totally spider-webbed from a crash and can't legally be driven without a new windshield] or miserable to drive [the heaters don't work in either truck and the international leaks so horribly that it will give you a bath if you drive it in the rain]. I found another cab for the Ford, still looking for one for the International, but I might go in and braze some steel in the holes instead.

I just bought an 1980 Ford Truck for my grandson's first car in 4 years that used to be a Highway Patrol Search and Rescue vehicle and it has all the heady duty frame and suspension too. It's a 4wd but were selling all that and making it a 2wd street truck. The 4wd drive train alone will make the money back to build it because they are highly sought after. I've already been offered 15k for the drive train.

You need to build another one, not a Satelite but another car from the Mid-Late 70's and make it a budget bill that people can take to a local cruise-in/car show and not sink a ton of money into. They are the HOT build out here in the Southwest/West because they are the "$500 Nova" of our generation. They are still running and on the road and you can get them all day long for 2-3k and spend another 5k or so building them into a reliable daily driver/cruise-in/ weekend car. Not everyone has 25-50k to sink into a car but you show them they have a nice COOL car for 8-10 with no engine swaps, no $1000 wheels, just a on the cheap Restomod by rebuilding the original drive train, all new body mounts and bushings and painted frame and suspension, with updated wheels and interior.

The one issue is the car was not prepped for the chassis saver properly, it may still bite okay, that is a decent product... However I noticed you coated the box liner directly over the chassis saver without sanding the chassis saver... Unfortunately that does not work & all that box liner will peel off very quickly.
