Hi Harold,
I got lucky with mine. I'd been wanting an early Mopar for my stable for 
quite awhile and everything that looked interesting was always half-way 
across the country. This Spring when we were at Mopars in the Park in 
Shakopee MN a fellow pulled in a with a great looking 64. We were set up in 
the swap meet and when there was a little break in the action there, I 
wandered up to the show car area. The fellow with the 64 was right there and 
after visiting with him for awhile, mentioned that I was in the market for a 
65 Satellite. He said , "Have we got a deal for you" He proceeded to tell me 
about the car and I basically committed to it on the spot site unseen. Once 
the details got worked out however, it turns out his daughter was driving 
the car and taking it to local cruises and shows. Her mother and her were 
pretty reluctant to sell the car and I thought several times the deal 
wouldn't get made. I ended up waiting all summer till after the show season 
to get the car and even then it was still a touchy subject at their house. 
Luckily the car was only 120 miles from me and the wife and daughter weren't 
home when I went to pick it up.
