1968 Satellite
Here is my '68 Plymouth I've worked on over the last year. It was an original 318/904/2.76 car and now has a 383/727/3.23 sure grip along with a new front suspension, 440/Hemi spec rear leaf springs and a new interior.
I repainted the engine bay, but the body could use a repaint and a few panels replaced, but it looks good enough for now. Here's what it was:

Re: 1968 Satellite
Great looking Mopar, motor looks great, love the color and stock look of exterior/interior, always liked this year/make. More pics will be needed of you smoking the rear tires, well done.
