For your consideration is my 1973 Plymouth Duster.
It's in original condition and is extremely clean. This car was brought to Michigan from the west coast back in 2006. I was told the 225 cubic inch slant six engine was freshly rebuilt at that time and it runs stronger than any other slant six I've ever owned. The transmission shifts smooth. This car truly is turn-key tight with no rattles/squeaks.
- Fresh tune up (NGK V-groove spark plugs, Autolite premium ignition wires, premium distributor cap & rotor, premium air filter, premium 5/16" fuel filter, premium PCV, Stant 195 degree thermostat, ... )
- Fresh oil change with premium 10w30 oil & premium filter
- Fresh transmission fluid change with new filter and new reusable rubber pan gasket
- Fresh coolant/anti-freeze exchange
- New MSD Blaster 2 performance coil.
- New lightweight aluminum master cylinder with billet aluminum 2-bolt adapter
- New Firestone 205/70R-14 tires
- New Monroe premium shocks (Front & Rear)
- New Sylvania SilverStar head lights
- New Sylvania long life light bulbs throughout the entire car!
- New radiator, top and lower hoses
- New lightweight high torque mini starter
- New rubber 5/16" fuel hoses
- New wiper arm pivot bushings
- Remanufactured alternator
- Sony CD Player
- Kenwood 6.5" 2-way speakers
- X-H.D. performance 6-leaf rear springs
Every light/bulb, buzzer/dinger, blinker/flasher functions correctly. All the gauges function correctly. The glass & chrome/trim is all nice.
The 7-1/4" rear axle is noisy (needs a wheel bearing). I've been driving it like this since I have other axles that are ready to swap in. There are dents and scrapes in the body and the passenger side quarter panel has some rust starting to show at the very bottom. The sunroof panel is rusty and the vinyl roof is bubbled in places. The driver side floor has rust in the usual spot also. You can clearly see it's a very clean unmolested west coast driver.
Price = $3,250.00 ... I will entertain all offers & trades, however it would have to be a too good of a deal to turn down for me.
Location = Harvey, Michigan 49855
