This 1973 Plymouth Satellite is sadly dead, rusting away in a US graveyard.
It’s a sad sight sitting among several other vehicles, and the situation is likely to get worse.
Unfortunately, it seems like these cars are headed for the crusher.

The cars were discovered by a YouTuber who goes by Poor Boys Garage.
According to him, these cars are on borrowed time, because the new owner is considering getting rid of them.
A large collection of Plymouth Satellites
The collection comprises a few different vehicles, but this 1973 Plymouth Satellite is perhaps the most fascinating one.
The Satellite was first introduced in 1965 and kept in production until 1974, across three generations.
While it may not be as popular as the Superbird, a model that is the protagonist of many barn finds, the Satellite is still much loved.
It enjoys something of a cult following, in fact.
Interestingly, the Satellite was eventually replaced by the Plymouth Fury, another car that often ends up in barns.
The sad story behind these Plymouths
Seeing cars rot is always a sad sight, but it’s worse when it’s the result of someone’s demise.
That’s the case here.
The cars used to belong to a man who recently died and his daughter is unsure what to do with them.
This sort of thing happens frequently when the owner of a car collection dies.
That’s what happened to what people believe to be the most valuable barn find in history, valued at $52 million.
The owner died, and his family didn’t want to keep the cars, so they sold them.
As for this Plymouth, its market value in this condition isn’t great, and the late owner’s daughter is considering scrapping it.
Hopefully, she will find a better solution.
