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/recent tune up (NGK V-groove spark plugs, Autolite premium ignition wires, premium distributor cap & rotor, premium air filter, premium fuel filter, premium PCV, Stant 195 degree thermostat, ... )
- Fresh/recent oil change with premium 10w30 oil & premium filter
- Fresh/recent transmission fluid change with new filter and rubber pan gasket
- Fresh/recent coolant/anti-freeze exchange
- 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
- Remanufactured starter
- Remanufactured alternator
- Sony CD Player

The 7-1/4" rear axle is noisy. 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 one quarter panel has some minimal rust starting to show on the very lower section. The sunroof piece is rusty and the vinyl roof is bubbled so I would assume the roof skin is rusted under the vinyl top in places. The driver side floor has a small rust hole in it also.

This car is perfect for someone who wants an entry level Mopar that is turn-key, needing only minor repairs that can be fiddled with whenever you can get to them.


Price = $3,200.00 ... I will entertain all offers & trades, however it would have to be a too good of a deal to turn down for me.

The sunroof didn't open with the handle so I never messed with it.

I do have other photos but this is the newest one and is the only one I have of it somewhat clean.

I'd be more than happy to send more to a serious potential buyer via e-mail(s).
I apologize for sounding like a deadbeat seller however I'm not sure when I can get more (new) photo, but of course when I do, I'll gladly update.
 
Engine start up.

Lovin' the 4.5 HP sticker.

I LIKE that car- 6 and all!
 
Thanks!
I have everything to build the car with a killer slant six, convert this car to a sweet small block, or turn it into a big block bruiser.
I'd make a deal as-is, without the MSD coil, lightweight mini starter, and lightweight master cylinder if someone wanted to save a little money, or will include all the parts to do the above if that is what someone wants to do.


I'm looking for a factory 1967-69 big block 4-speed Dart or Barracuda (strongly prefer 1969) project car.
The numbers/paperwork is more of a concern than the cars condition to me.

I also have a clean 2001 Ram and/or a ton of Mopars parts I'd add to the trade for the right car...


Don't be scurred to ask/throw out your thoughts...
 
very nice car......I only have a 1967 Barracuda I had shipped from Texas to Buffalo,NY.. big block mini tubbed sand blasted ...PROJECT CAR !!!!!
 
Would you be interested in trading for a drag car? I have the one in my pic that is minus engine but would let good buildable 340 go with.
