What is 1974 plymouth satellite?

The 1974 Plymouth Satellite was a mid-size car produced by Plymouth. It was part of the "B-body" platform shared with other Chrysler vehicles like the Dodge Coronet and Charger. 1974 was a significant year for the Satellite as it represented the final year of this particular body style.

• Body Styles: The 1974 Satellite was available in several body styles, including a 2-door coupe (with a pillarless hardtop), a 4-door sedan, and a 4-door station wagon. The coupe and wagon styles came in several trims including base, Sebring Plus, and Road Runner. The sedan had a base and a custom trim.

• Engines: A range of engines were available, including:

  • A base 225 cu in (3.7 L) slant-six
  • Several V8 options, such as the 318 cu in (5.2 L) and 360 cu in (5.9 L). The high-performance 400 cu in (6.6 L) and 440 cu in (7.2 L) V8s were still available, but power outputs were significantly reduced from previous years due to emissions regulations.

• Styling: The 1974 Satellite featured a more squared-off design compared to earlier models. The front end had a prominent grille and single headlights. The rear featured revised taillights and bumper designs.

• Road Runner: The "Road Runner" trim package was still available on the coupe model and was intended as a performance-oriented version, although it had lost some of its performance edge compared to earlier years due to increasing emissions regulations.

• Market Context: 1974 was a challenging year for the automotive industry due to the oil crisis and increased emissions regulations. This impacted engine performance and fuel economy.

• Collectibility: While not as highly sought after as some of the earlier muscle car-era Plymouths, the 1974 Satellite, particularly the Road Runner trim, can be of interest to collectors, especially if well-preserved or restored.
