1965 Plymouth Satellite '426-S Street Wedge'

Steve Stasko · 05-01-2012, 10:17 AM

The production numbers I have on the 426-S cars do not give a breakdown for Wagons, but there were a pretty good amount of 4-door Dodges and Plymouth built with the engine.

I have a '65 Coronet 440 that was an original 426-S/automatic car. It was sold new at Bob Banning Dodge too.

I don't know what motor this '65 Coronet started out life with...but it's been a race car most of it's life.

Another '65 Coronet SS/IA...dig the front tow hooks.

This should be a 1969 photo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

1969 NHRA Weight factor,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,9.50 - 9.99 Wt/Hp

The1965 426-S cars also ran in in E/S or E/SA in 1969.

Hey Paul, it seems that more racers chose the '65 Dodge Coronet over the '65 Plymouth Satellite judging by the amount of old photos that I'm finding of both models.

Steve, just curious was there anything special about these '65 Dodge & Plymouth cars being fitted with the 426 wedge, was there any extra body bracing/brackets or were they just another regular unibody car...post some pics of it.

I met Steve Reasbeck at Beaver Springs two years ago. He's a real good guy running some old Hemi stuff, NASCAR rods, TRW slugs, etc.

Paul, how many '65 Coronet convertibles came with the 426 street wedge engine...
