1971 Plymouth Satellite Race Car...on ebay...interesting

[petercharger]

1971 Nascar Replica.  Stickered as a Bobby Isaac 1970 "Winged Warror" This car was built by Dana Warriax, worked for many Nascar teams over his lifetime, spent the last 10 years of his life building this car.  He intended to have a Nascar flavored streetable car that could race at the Maxton Mile (Land Speed style track, running flying mile for top speed) near his home in North Carolina.  He also intended to take it to Bonneville.  Dana, a master race car fabracator, he started with a very solid southern car like he raced in the past.  So a 71 Satellite was the base.  After being stripped to the bare tub he started a 10 year journey to recreate a Nascar legenge.  Era type rear wing, totally a piece of art, handmade.  Custom sidepipes are handmade from stainless steel.  The car is totally street legal with working doors, lights, turn signals, wipers ect.  Everything to be street legal.  Full roll cage, full period style Stewert Warner insterments.  CD player, full carpeting, new race harnesses, race style bucket seats by Mastercraft, race legal ATL Nascar fuel cell, 32 gallons, Holly electric fuel pump, full floater Ford 9 inch rear end, Detroit locker, Willwood 4 wheel disc brakes, 572 Hemi Motor, Hemi 4 speed transmission, Lakewood blow-proof bellhousing, Ram clutch and flywheel, giant front swaybar, with vintage original Nascar heavy duty spindles (much stronger than stock) has Nascar scratch tires by Goodyear and Aero Nascar wheels, also comes with a set of custom billet wheels, 17 inch Goodyear F1 tires, also has mount for parachute behind the license plate. TTI coated headers.

572 Cubic Inch all aluminum HEMI motor.  Started with a new Keith Black alumanum block, 6k alone, Keith Black billet external oil system, Callies crank, Manley rods, roller cam with a pair of Indy cylinder heads, 440 CFM!  The engine was assembled by his old friend, Pete Taylor who was cheif engine builder for Holman and Moody back in the glory days.  Pete went on to build many Nascar Hemis as one of the best engine builders ever.  Dynoed over 750 hp.  Msd distributor, Msd ignition, custom Nascar fans and alumanum radiator, many more details, look at the pictures.  If you want a streetable monster, this is a unique car with A/C, twin coolers for trans and rear end, cooler pump runs off rear end Nascar style.  Totally awesome workmanship, LOOK AT THE PICTURES.  I know that people are going to realize that this is a Plymouth, and Bobby Isaac drove a Dodge, but as you know, Bobby Isaac was the "Winged Warror God" especially in 1971 at Bonneville, over 20 records went down that year alone.  I didn't want to do a Petty replica, everyone has done that.  Easily changable to your preference, thanks to Rhine Industries.  Tons more info on the car, if interested call me, love to talk about it.  Doug Wittig 760 947 3820.  Within the next 12 hours, more pictures available at

Kind of a strange project. How much more would it have cost to have started with the correct body to begin with.

When there's no price in an ad, you kind of know what's coming.

If it didn't have the ridiculous wing and hood scoop, it would actually be kind of cool.

[Ghoste]

The wing doesnt bother me on that car but I can't say I care for the over the top simulated race interior and the Chevy hood scoop on steroids.

[tan top]

Nice fabrication of some bad looking ideas.   Probably wouldn't be too hard to straighten out.    There's just a bunch of stuff that makes me gag.

It's definitely one persons fantasy car.

[pettybird]

If that's what the last 10 years of my life will look like, I'll just die early.

[lisiecki1]

I'd lose the wing, change the hood scoop, and drive the sh*t out of it!  Looks like fun.

[held1823]

it's all a matter of perspective.

i'd pull what salvagable parts are left, and scrap the p.o.s.

how do you "replicate" something that never existed. what a waste of a perfectly good road runner. spoiler on the trunk? design by idiots, obviously.cowl hood compliments of some chevy idiot. it's a shame so many decent parts were added to this pile.

The paint sucks too

[RallyeMike]

I could fix most of that goofy stuff in about a month and have a hell of a fun car. Beside the wing, the one item I cannot handle is the gauge cluster set an an angle. You wouldnt be able to read them from glare half the time.

Red and yellow undercarraige......  I'd take that car to McDonnalds for a big mac!

Remember the Red and Yellow Viper that McD's gave away one year....   

[Highbanked Hauler]

 Isn't there a lower intake made for a  present day Hemi ?
