Overview of 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 Hemi For Sale by Owner

Before the GTX and Road Runner took over Plymouth’s performance image, the Satellite was the B-body sleeper that could be ordered with Chrysler’s most feared street engine. This 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 HEMI 4 Speed shows approximately 25,134 miles and combines a black-on-black presentation with the legendary dual-quad 426 Street HEMI, a four-speed manual, Dana 60 rear axle, and Sure Grip differential. The current owner reports that it is one of of only 502 Hemi's produced, making this a seriously rare early HEMI-era Mopar with the kind of specification collectors and true muscle-car enthusiasts immediately recognize.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 HEMI 4 Speed is finished in Black, giving the car a properly sinister presence that suits its sleeper-like character. Its clean mid-size B-body styling is far more restrained than the later GTX or Road Runner, but the 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels, purposeful stance, and aftermarket rear air shocks hint that there is far more going on beneath the hood than its elegant lines suggest. The interior of this 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 HEMI 4 Speed is Black and features P4X interior trim along with a wood-rim steering wheel. It is a wonderfully analog environment: a driver-focused cockpit centered around the four-speed manual, with none of the modern filters between driver and machine. Power brakes add welcome confidence when bringing this big-block B-body back down from speed.

Engine

Under the hood is the reason this Satellite matters: Chrysler’s 426ci Street HEMI V8. Fed by dual four-barrel carburetors, it was factory rated at 425 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque—figures that were famously conservative. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, Dana 60 rear axle, and Sure Grip limited-slip differential, creating the exact kind of old-school mechanical combination that made the HEMI name legendary. This is raw, carbureted, clutch-pedal muscle from the era when Detroit’s fastest cars were built around enormous engines and very few apologies.
