My $500.00 MOPAR purchase. Whats everyone think?
1972 Plymouth Duster ( Gold Duster ) fender vin tag still there....everything looks about the same other then interior is a different color then what came with the car,vinyl top was removed and no engine....Id like to go 340 but I found a good deal on a rebuildable 360 with all accessories and tranny and tourqe converter an engine stand for $50.00,so I may go that route. The car came with a 904 auto tranny that was built in 04. also has a fully built 8 3/4 rear end with 4.10 gearing, no rust on the underside what so ever!!! (california car...back in it birth place of michigan) exterior has no rust except for some minor surface rust. Does have a couple of minor dents here and there but nothing a little time and effort can't fix. all glass is good,windshield is a little foggy around the edges. interior is in great shape but the carpet has one hole in it..came with a full set of stock rally wheels in like new shape,tires have tons of tread up front,rears are street slicks. The car was last driven in 04. The front k member was completly gone through in 04 at the same time the tranny and rear end were. has all new poly bushings and shocks and rotors and calipers and pads and bearings and all steering components aswell as a close ration non power steering gear box....wich I can litterally turn with one finger!!! all lights and grill and hoodscoops and everything are in like new shape. door handles and key locks on doors and trunk and ignition all work,windows all go up and down great and the gull windows in rear pop in and out great. I picked it up for $500.00,what do you guys think? worth it lol?. I am going to spiff it up over the winter,all body work and I am thinking of going plum crazy purple with satin black 340 stripe kit....build a mild v8 engine and put in it with the 904,I will need the firewall forward wire harness,master cylinder set up for brakes and alot of misc. parts also....But I thought it was a good deal and couldnt pass it up. I joined FABO when I bought the duster but have been a mopar fan prior to....I also have a dodge pickup for the daily driver. I just learned how to post up pictures so I figured I would make a thread for you guys to see. so check it out and give me some comments and feedback and suggestions and any parts you may have that you think I may need?...Thanks again guys
