Good specimens of the Sport Satellite are hard to come by these days because they made up less than 10% of the whole production that year. Even more uncommon is a well-maintained Sport Satellite wagon. A long-overdue upgrade, according to eBay seller rlsedillo, is imminent for their Sport Satellite wagon.
While the car appears solid, it’s important to note it originated in Arizona and moved to New Mexico in the ’80s, suggesting rust hasn’t been a significant issue. However, potential buyers should thoroughly inspect the metal before purchasing.
Although a wagon might not be the most exciting body style, the Sport Satellite has a dedicated fanbase. It could be converted into a GTX or Road Runner, especially with the original L-code 383 engine Plymouth installed.
However, the downside is the car is missing its engine. You’ll need to source your own engine, preferably a big block, to restore this Sport Satellite. The wagon is described as “very, very complete,” but the missing engine may deter some buyers. Nonetheless, it’s a solid project car that could find a home with the right person.
The bidding started recently and has attracted some interest, but meeting the reserve will be challenging. The owner wants $8,000 for the car, though the reserve might be lower. The top bid is $3,000, so the car may stay available for a while longer. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the car will need to be transported by trailer due to the missing engine.
