In 1977 I had a 1969 Plymouth Satellite. Pretty strong 318 V8 with hydraulic lifters. I used to beat Cameros with the 350s off the line.

If that isn’t a muscle car then it is just shy of one.

“1977 I had a 1969 Plymouth Satellite”

Did you drive it faster than the speed of light?

In 1977 I had a Camero LT 305, front and rear spoilers, 8-track player blasting Foreigner and Boston.. Fun! I loved that rust bucket. Heh.

I had a '79 Dodge Diplomat and an '89 Chrysler 5th Ave (Mechanically VERY similar) and they weren't great performers, and needed high-test fuel. In '77 you needed a catalytic converter already. Did you have a 4-barrel carb to get more out of it?

The Roadrunner and GTX were basically stepped up versions of the Satelitte.

The 318 was one of the top small block 8s. Nice engine, very durable.
