1973 Plymouth Duster

EASY PROJECT CAR!!!Please read all thoroughly before bidding.1973 Plymouth Duster factory 4 speed factory A/C car with only 56,000 miles on it. I have the original 240HP Numbers Matching 340 Magnum motor but no tranny. The engine does not appear to have ever been taken apart and it ran like a bat of of hell. If you wanted to keep her stock, I would put a new timing chain on her, new fuel and water pump, and a carb and she would be good to go, especially if you have a complete A833 tranny around.I bought this car about 12 years ago and the engine ran perfect. The factory thermoquad (included) was giving me some problems with the phenolic plastic parts coming apart and around the same time, I wore the clutch out. I decided to buy another 340 and send that out to be rebuilt (to keep the original engine intact) along with most of the tranny components including the shifter linkage, bellhousing and the original A/C compressor to John's Cages Inc in Fort Lauderdale. The owner closed up shop a year or two ago and never contacted me. He walked off with a fresh HP 340, my tranny and all of my other parts totaling around $20,000.Anyway, This Duster is not a rust bucket. All if its lines are straight and it looks pretty good. It was an original B-5 blue car but its now painted black. It sat covered in my garage and when I finally pulled it out of storage, I discovered some dings small scratches, some showing the primer. I blame it on the kids!!! The interior is nice with just a minor tear along the seat bottoms. I had a pair of seat covers on it. It has power brakes and steering. The whole front end looks to have been rebuilt including those pesky lower control arm bushings. I replaced the front brake lines on it. It has a decent set of BF Goodrich Radials on the factory rims. Most of the trim is in very good condition. You will need to supply a tranny and all of its components though the Z bar and clutch pedal assembly are intact. The original flywheel is also gone. The original starter is still there. You will also have to replace the A/C compressor though the condenser is still attached. I have the original radiator, fan shroud and some misc parts. I did my best to take pictures of the damaged areas but its always best to have a pro or inspect it yourself. You are bidding on a non running 1973 Duster missing its transmission and some other related parts. The original engine which turns over by hand is included. ****The MT Valve Covers are not included.**** The buyer will be responsible for shipping from my driveway and loading the engine up which is sitting on an engine stand (not included). I have the original exhaust manifolds .I already bought another mopar so the wife says this one has to go!!! Again, its a fairly easy project. I have seen this exact model on sale for $35,000-$50,000!!! Crazy. I have already tracked down the previous owner of the shop and will attempt to get my parts back. If so, I will give you the first chance at buying any of the items that were original. I will be very fair.The buyer will have to place a $500 non-refundable deposit immediate upon auctions end. I was a cop for 27 years and will spot a scam a mile away so don't waste your time. The buyer will be responsible for any taxes, registration fees etc. I have a clean title in hand and a set of keys.I can hold the car for up to one full week and unless we make other arrangements. Buyer can pay cash or I will take a bankers check or cashiers check but I will hold the car and title until the funds clear. I will investigate and verify that you are who you say you are and I will only write up a bill of sale to someone who has ID. Again, I was a cop for 27 years and worked five of those years as an Economic Crime Investigator. If you do not agree to my terms, please do not bid. I am truly a nice guy but I do get scammers still trying to get something for nothing!!! Remember, the $500 is non-refundable. I would highly suggest an personal inspection or feel free to come by my house in Cooper City and inspect it yourself. This is a nice rust free Duster.If this car doesn't sell in the next week or two, I will go through it myself and put it back on the market. Get them now while they are cheap. Go to Hemmings and look up what they are going for.I work late so I sleep in. I usually check my messages around noonish so be patient! Good luck!!!Again, Good Luck and thanks for looking!!!!

I have had a few inquires about the fender tag. My first ad had the numbers listed but I accidentally lost the ad and for got to add it. I just added three pictures of the fender tag. I had to remove it because it was hard to read. So far, i could gather it says, 340, HD Clutch and AC/Heater. The rest you can decode!!!Hope this helps!!! This is a real factory 340 4 speed A/C
