Time for a change

Well folks, it's been a fun 5 years with the Camaro, but it was time for a change. I've had the itch for some old school muscle again and had been casually looking when I came upon one of my "bucket list" cars. It's a 1966 Plymouth Satellite. My grandparents owned a '66 Belvedere back in the 70's and because of that, I have wanted one for the past 35 years. Once I found this one, I finally decided to do something about it.
It was originally a 383 car, but it now sports a healthy 440 six-pack and 4-speed. The car has roughly 900 miles since a total restoration.
Here are a couple pics my wife snapped during delivery....













A couple others that were professionally done.....

Thanks and I concur....hard to beat old school. Since selling my Chevelle several years ago, I've really been missing this.

That's beautiful, the engine compartment looks awesome, does that have cast iron headers?

I appreciate the comments from you all.

Johnny, those are a production cast manifold.
