I'm going to look at a Duster tomorrow. Now this may not be big news to anyone here, but this is the first "new" Mopar I've seen since last fall. Pickings around here are very slim. Owner is asking $1200. Taking pics for your input. Already have the camera in my car so I don't forget (Daughter has a soccer game too, which is why I'm taking the camera, wink-wink). Hopefully its not as far gone as most $1200 cars are around here. Hopefully post more information tomorrow...
 

So I went today and it turned into a much longer trip than anticipated, but I didn't bring anything home. Guy has been collecting cars (mainly Mopar) for 25 years. Below you'll find pics of the Duster. Been hit in the passenger front, which is why the bumper is off (not fixable I dont think) and the quarter is different. Besides the rust on the passenger rear, the rest of the car is very solid. Originally from out West. Should run if it had gas and a battery.

Besides the Duster, the rest of his cars (except his keepers) are parts cars and in rough shape except one (Early B-body four door Dart).

He has a flatbed filled with big rear ends, all B-bodies (Attached pics) and a van full of blocks, including a 340 and a bunch of big blocks.

Also has some misc. doors (pair of 67 Dart, needing work and others), 68 Barracuda 4spd shell, with a collapsed roof (glass not broken) and a lot of other parts, grilles, etc. He is a really nice, knowledgable guy (has two very nice B-Bodies in his garage). He reallly hopes to be using his collection at some point and time, but maybe willing to part with things here and there.
He also has a Volare Wagon, one of 56 or so that has a 360 in it. Rear is in rough shape, rest looked pretty good. If I could swing it, I would take the Duster and the motor/tranny from the Wagon, plus the 73 grille he has thats in better shape than the 72 on the car, plus a bumper off another 73.
 
Nice find. The early Dart can be made into a 2 door post car ( like a Max wedge car) very easily.
