Thanks guys! You saved me again. I’m learning more and more thanks to this forum. I always know to turn to y’all to get the truth lol

Ya i Didn’t have the best feeling about it for some reason. Here is the vin ll29c2b260199

Hey! Guys, I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this thread. I’ve been looking for a year now and this listing just popped up. Looks awesome! And not too far away. I would probably pay someone to go and look at it with me as I’m not 100% confident in my abilities to look for trouble areas.

Thanks guys!

You guys know I’m hungry for my first mopar and keep my eyes open for a good deal. I found one I like but it’s auto. Personally, part of the fun for me is shifting. I keep looking for Demons with a 4-speed but autos keep popping up. We’re 4-speeds not made as much? Are autos more common? I’m not...

Thank you guys for all the advice! What would be the best place to get a loan for a classic car? Any suggestions? Also, I was really set on getting one with a manual transmission, but someone on the forum has offered a really cool Plymouth Duster with an automatic transmission with a B&M...

Thank you! That would be really cool. I need all the help I can get. I never had anyone in my life that knew anything about cars. My family moved around a lot and I never had a stable enough home to buy a project and teach myself. Now that I'm 28 and living at an appartment (where I can rent a...

Yes, exactly! I want to spend the money now before I can’t lol. Hahaha this is great!

Thank you very much! I’m gut was saying the same thing.

Hey guys! I post every now and then on this forum, thinking this is the time I’m going to get my Mopar. However, there is always financial difficulties. I’m finally at an income where I think I could pull the plug. I’m 28 years old and have been waiting for this since I was 10 haha. The...

Hey guys! So, I always find awesome and interesting deals on trovit. Now, some of the deals seem... let's just say too good to be true. Does anyone here trust trovit? Done any purchasing from the site? Check out this 440 Roadrunner: 1971 Plymouth Road Runner It just seems too good to be true...

Thank you guys! (Sorry for the late reply, been having family health issues). It looks like what I need to do is just buy the car I truly want. I know the first thing I'll want to do when I get a Roadrunner with a 340 automatic is to make it a 440 manual. All of these answers helped me out...

Hey guys, I hardly know anything about engines and most likely won't be doing any engine builds or engine swaps for 1. not having enough room 2. and no time. So, one day I'll be buying a Plymouth Barracuda or Roadrunner and dream about it every day. My question is, what's the difference...

Living in Austin Tx. you would think I would see many of these but the honest truth is I haven't had any luck and I've been looking for a while. Or, at least not in my price range. $15,000 is pretty much my limit (which I know isn't a ton) and that will take a huge toll on me but I believe the...

I certainly had alarms going off when he said that. He also said, "It has very little rust. Just in one spot." Obviously that was not the case. Also, I got the VIN and the original engine is a 318. Pretty sure the 318 is still in it and that the previous owner put the 340 stickers on it.

Just got pics of the engine number + rust!

Just got a call from the guy selling the Duster. I asked him more in-depth about the rust and he is pretty sure the only spot I need to worry about is where the spare goes (obviously, I'll be checking heavily for bubblies everywhere else) as well as the two small holes where the passenger's feet...

Maybe the best route for me being a beginner would be to pick a car with a decent body, one that maybe runs, and that way I could focus on the engine and transmission swapping and what not.

I think the hardest part of being a millennial is the instant gratification instilled into most of us. I think that is why I spent a lot of effort trying to save money and invest in stocks rather than buying anything fun like the car of my dreams or international vacations both of which I have...

Oh that’s awesome! I would love to do the same thing. It’s just, I’m not sure what makes a good project car and what doesn’t. Before I got on this form I wanted to buy a car that ran and didn’t need any work. Now, you guys have inspired me to get a project car and build the way I want and...

Woah!!! :O that is so cool... see, id love to do something like that. Maybe I could buy this Duster and use the money I save to put back into it. Again, I’ve never done anything like this. Would this project be a good starter for me? Or would it be too much? Did you know what you were doing when...

This Duster popped up a few days ago but it seems intimidating lol Classic car

That is so cool! Do you have pics of the car when you were done with it? Did you know how to do all of that stuff before you got the car? My skill is most likely 0. I know more or less how an engine works but 0 idea of how to do really anything on a car except put oil into it and put a spare on...

I have been watching craigslist and classiccarliquidators.com for at least three years now. I’ve never let myself get serious, always thinking I needed to raise my income first and putting money into my index fund. I’ve always looked for the future and never let myself buy anything fun. Now, I...

See, that’s what I was thinking. If the car runs then I could still have fun with it while I work on a 360 engine to drop into it. Would you still think the car worth it if it does indeed have a 318 for $5000? Also, you said the number is on the pan rail?

Oh, if it doesn't have a 340 it's not worth the $5,000? And how much rust is too much rust to the point it's not worth repairing? Also, he said the rust spots are where the spare tire goes.

I can certainly do that! So, from what I understand, the car will be worth buying if it has very little rust, the body looks straight, and the car runs. Is there anything else I should look for? So far I will take lots of pics of the interior, under the car, hood, and the trunk as well as the...

It's that simple? Wow, actually that sounds like a lot of fun!

Ok, all that made sense to me. I also read that a 360 would be more worth my time as it's easier/cheaper to get parts for it. My thought process now is if it has little rust (and just the spots he told me which is a few spots on the trunk) I could buy a running 360 and have a mechanic drop it...

I also read where you can get a stroker kit or turn your 318 into a 390 using a kit? Sounds a lot over my head and that I would need to take it to a shop. All of this I'm willing to do as I love the look of the car. Just not sure if I should just wait until another car pops up.
