What is the original color, picture of fender tag?

When I ran the decode, it showed the car was originally white with white interior. I will take a picture of the tag and post it.

My bad on the original color. Toolmanmike sent me a message confirming the car was originally black.

 

[demonjim]

Can I come and look at it

Absolutely. Just give me a day and time. I'm retired so I can be available when it's convenient for you.

TX9 Black

I'll try to get a better picture, the hose runs right over the left top corner of the tag, and the code there is not very clear.

TX9 Black

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

ToolmanMike says it was an original black car by the TX9 code.

 

[toolmanmike]

The TX9 on the third row down , left side is the roof color. The TX9 directly below it is the body color. The TX9 in the middle of the 4th row down is the upper door frame color and the C6XW between the two is the trim code. Custom trim with vinyl buckets and black interior. (the book says white & black)

You can easily verify the engine's originality. There's a smooth pad on the passenger's side of the block, just above the oil pan rail about right in the middle fore and aft. It has a partial VIN that will match up with the VIN on the car if it is the numbers block to that car.

I went out and tried to look, but car has factory exhaust manifolds, so I can't see the pad. Been raining here the last couple of days and I really don't want to lay down under the car.

Im close to you and INTERESTED, Please contact me.....

A little additional information; as stated in the original post, I bought the car in January of 2020. The car was kept in the garage during the first 2 years, then after we moved in in August of 2022, I kept a tarp over it. I didn't title it until Monday, the 17th. Title should be here in about another week and a half or so. Should have put that in the original post, but it slipped my mind. Sorry if that creates a problem for anyone interested. If someone wants the car before the title comes in, I can send it to them in the mail. Stamps don't cost much.

 

[demonjim]

Can I come and look at it

Yep, but before you make that 2 hour drive, I didn't title the car until this past Monday, the 17th. If you want to come look and want the car, I will send the title to you when it comes in. I'll even call you and let you know it's coming so you can be looking for it.

 

[demonjim]

So as to avoid confusion or hard feelings, I will give those interested in the Duster starting with the first response, second response, Down the line in order of response. Trying to be as fair as I can, so please understand.

I haven't heard from him today, but the last message I got from him was to say he will be here tomorrow between 2 and 5.

Not mixed up. It was badlilred79. He did buy a street rod. He can post photos and such on his own thread. No need to clutter up this sale thread with that information.
