what you opinion on this particular car?

[diymirage]

hey guys, ive been looking around on the web, window shopping for a duster when i came across this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1975...7811640?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item51a3a467b8

it has everything i want and it is within my projected budget BUT ive seen it on the wed for a while now, it looks like a reasonable price, if not a good deal so why hasnt this car sold?
am i overlooking the obvious here?

just wondering what the experts think

That's a bunch of money for a 75.

I also have a laundry list of personal reasons why I wouldn't want that car.

That car should be around 6k 7k tops

There have been tons of nicer cars on fabo for equal or lesser money..... Its a 75 duster, you could find a nice 70-72 for that kind of money, shop around!

 

[66plyValiant]

not a popular year for them and a price that is just down right crazy

 

[diymirage]

where do you guys find the more reasonable priced dusters?
ive been scowering fleabay and craigslist but this is pretty much below "going rate" of what ive seen

Yes

i use craigslist or on here and see plenty of nice ones cheaper and better lol i like to look even when i cant buy my gf yells at me to stop teasing my self

 

[Bulldozer]

12,000 ? never

 

[grumpuscreature]

I wouldn't touch that one with a 10 foot pole at that price. I see too many warts to fix for that much money.

 

[gtmopar]

Seems a bit steep. Like everyone said there are a lot of nicer cars out there for the money. You would not be happy driving that car with a full fiberglass front end. They shake and wobble like crazy. Trust me I have had drag cars that I have tried to make street able with the tilt front ends.

 

[plum crazy dart]

This is only $1500. more and it looks nicer. I'm NOT saying this is a good deal. Just figured I'd show it to ya., 73' 340, not sure how I feel about the hood stripes. They look early 70's ish. Not sure if it's a stock design. http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/cto/3388330339.html

 

[diymirage]

thanks guys, i guess im just not looking hard enough
(also i never considered the flimsyness of a fiberglass front end)

ill be sure to keep looking

 

[Sedanman]

I like it but it is a bit high. I found my rust free & well otioned 67 valiant on Craigslist. This site searches all of CL for you to pick through.

thats a lot of purple

 

[breakstuff]

My only issue is that it is a done car and do not trust other peoples craftsmanship. What is hidden below that paint? What quality of materials were used? Are the quarters going to start cracking off in 6 months?
Plus a .060 in a 360 doesn't get you 378 cubic inches, what else doesn't this guy know about it?

 

[abodyjoe]

If you buy that your buying someone else's headache. It's priced about $8000 too freaking high.

Keep looking a good one will surface.

 

[diymirage]

thanks for all the input guys

ill keep looking (and definatly use that webpage you posted sedanman)

i really apreciate your help here, this is my first time buying a classic car (or anything older then '89 and im not sure what to look for so if you guys dont mind ill keep running them by you as i find them interesting


also, if one of you guys send me a PM, my antivirus wont let me open the page

There are nice Dusters listed on ebay right now. The green 71 Slant 6 car is clean.

Find someone that will look at a car with you. You'll need it if. You really want to know what to look at before dropping anywhere near 12k

With a BIG tail wind and a good swift kick in the arse....

 

[Twisted-72]

Just the headlight bezels should show you how this car is built.
