That white one looks rather like the one me and RedRavens mate "Mo" owns in Ireland.

His is a white 1969 Satellite.
Here is a picture of the interior.

Thanks! That is a great link.

In the early nineties, I saw a Satellite (or a GTX, I do not remember) with this option. I wish I had taken pic´s of it, but I didn´t. What was specially intresting with this car is that it had pink flowers on it. I can not find any pic of this pattern on the web. Any help? I am quite sure that there has been an article about this specific car in the swedish car magazine Wheels Magazine. I wonder in which issue?

I have a feeling Mo's car came from Germany but it could be the same one.

I do not think so. If my memory serves me right, the interior of the car I saw in the nineties was white and pink. At least pink for sure. Very odd.

I am sure this is the one Mo Malone in Ireland now owns (or at least owned the last time I checked but it has been a while) and it says it was once in Sweden.

Wow, a highly international car I must say. From the beginning in the US of course, then Sweden, Germany and now Austria! :s006: I wonder where the next stop will be? :roll:

No, I am quite sure that it was another car I saw in the nineties.

I believe that I have got that copy of Wheels Magazine (#9 1993). It is 700km away though. :s008: :s001: :D

Didn't Carsten used to own it ?

I am sure the year I saw it at the Mopar Nats, he brought it from Germany.

Carsten sold it to another guy in Germany and later it was sold to Austria.
