Such Thing As Cheap Hemi Mopar? 1966 Plymouth Satellite 4-Speed Would Love To Prove You Wrong

A 1966 Plymouth Satellite 4-speed Hemi is presented as a case that challenges the idea that a “cheap Hemi Mopar” can’t exist, highlighting how scarcity and desirability don’t always align. The article notes Chrysler produced 10,495 426-cubic-inch engines with hemispherical combustion chambers from 1964 to 1971, and that the street version arrived for 1966 civilian cars. Limited to Plymouths and Dodges, the first wave of Street Hemi was offered in Satellites. Production details cited include 9,761 Street Hemi sales over six years and 2,730 units sold in the option’s debut year, split across Dodge Coronet (741), Dodge Charger (468), Plymouth Belvedere (677) and Plymouth Satellite (844). The featured running example is located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and lists an asking price of $55,000, with no trades accepted.
