´71 Plymouth Satellite (ex Revell GTX)

[Koellefornia Kid]

Last year my brother’s christmas gift was Dom Toretto’s ´71 Plymouth GTX kit from Revell. It is a very nice kit and I was thankful for the great custom wheels that were included but I never intended to build the movie car (which is a ´72, by the way). But I remembered a Satellite that I’ve seen at a Mopar meet in Switzerland some years ago and decided to build something similar. So I got rid of all the GTX lettering as well as the rear spoiler and covered it in Tawny Gold Metallic:

The wheels were swapped for a set of Pegasus Vantage wheels with widened rears and photo etched disc brakes:

After applying the Tawny Gold the colour reminded me of cinnamon, that’s why I called the build Cinbad

The interior is box stock except for a MCG pe steering wheel:

The stock 440 engine was topped with a scratch built EFI Stroker unit:

Thanks, brother, for this nice X-mas gift! It was a pleasure to build!

And thank, guys for having a look! Comments are welcomed and appreciated!

Cool Mopar!

The color looks great, and I like the cleaner body lines without the spoilers and extra chrome trim. The wheel and tires showing the disc brakes look good as does trhe engine treatment.

Nice Satellite, Oliver. I like the clean style. Well done.

What brand is the paint? I have a 1:1 car painted tawny gold and would like to build a replica of it, but having trouble finding the right colour.

I have a soft spot for this car, having owned a satellite 72. This body style was only around for 2 years but it sure have heads turned even today. Excellent build and nice color choice to suit it.
