1966 Plymouth Satellite 2D

In 1966 the Plymouth Satellite was the top of the line model in the Belvedere Series.  Available in a hardtop or convertible, it had front bucket seats, a center console, deep pile carpeting, a padded instrument panel, safety door handles and unitized body construction.  A standard 273 cu. in V8 engine was available along with a handful of other V8's.

In 1966, along with a redesigning, the Satellite was available with the newly optional "Street Hemi" engine, which had two 4-barrel carburetors, and 10.25:1 compression. This engine was rated at 425 hp (317 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 490 lb ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The other V8 engine options for 1966 remained the standard 180 hp (130 kW) 273, plus the popular 318 at 230 hp (170 kW) and the 265 hp (198 kW) Commando 361 and Commando 383 at 325 hp (242 kW), down from the 330 hp (250 kW) it had on tap in 1965.
