Details: A good Mopar is always the best muscle car for the money. The rare production numbers and unique touches always make them a hit today. It gets even better on a 1973 Plymouth Duster that has been upgraded along the way in all the ways you wantand#44; including a recent rebuild of the numbers-matching 340 V8.


The Duster had one of the most aggressive A-body designsand#44; and the factory-correct Rallye Red paint just highlights all the angles perfectly. And if you missed the curves on the shine of the paintand#44; then the full-length factory stripe package will help guide you across the kicked-up rear fenders. Those callouts on the rear are correct; this is the top-of-the line Duster package with the big motor for the little carand#44; but more on that in a moment. Right now this about appreciating the qualityand#44; careand#44; and restoration of a car that many let go too far before the car community really started appreciating them again. So out of the 15and#44;731 big engine Dusters produced in 73and#44; youre likely never going to see one again where the panels are so straight or the chrome bumpers have such a mirror shine.


Nothing goes better with an aggressive red exterior than a race-ready black vinyl interior. It comes with the right mix of factory equipment with some nice upgrades. Sit down in the high-back vinyl bucketand#44; and youll see the Sparco sports steering wheel with a cool black with red stitching pattern to unite the interior and exterior colors. Beyond thatand#44; the original style dashboard offers a large array of gauges thats complemented by a large SunPro tachometer. The heater/defrost controls on the dash look just the same as they did from when this car left Detroit over four decades agoand#44; but below that is a modern AM/FM/CD stereo. Stilland#44; we bet youre eyes were fixated on something even lower. This Duster borrows the center console from its bigger Barracuda brotherand#44; and it includes nice custom touches like the cup holders. Plusand#44; the new Bandamp;M shifter is great for everything from banging your way through the automatic transmissionand#44; to just resting your hand on while cruising.


The biggest bang for the buck was stuffing a high-winding 340 cubic-inch V8 into a lightweight car like the Duster. This car still packs its originaland#44; numbers-matching powerplant. It was fully rebuilt in 2013and#44; and this connects to a 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic that has 5and#44;000 miles on it since done. Plus theres a new electronic ignitionand#44; new wiresand#44; new coiland#44; and new air filter. But besides just offering reliability with its originalityand#44; this Duster looks great with Hemi Orange paint on the air cleaner (which also wears reproduction decals) and Mopar turquoise engine paint. This big motor makes a nice rumble out of the new stainless steel dual exhaust. Also out back theres an 8.75-inch rear with 3.91 gears on a Sure-Grip limited slip. Add in the factory Rallye wheelsand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and BF Goodrich T/As at all four cornersand#44; and this is a retro-cool package that still feels great on the road today.


Complete with restoration receipts and owners manualand#44; this Duster is original where you want itand#44; and reliable where you need it the most. Add in some cool upgradesand#44; and youll realize that this is the best Mopar for show and go that you dont want to let slip by. Call today!!
