The Duster was built on the Valiant platform and shared the same front-end sheet metal but featured a sporty roof design different from the Valiant from the cowl back. The Plymouth Duster could uniquely compete with multiple competitors across the market such as Ford's slightly smaller semi-fastback Maverick compact car and the AMC Hornet which were both introduced in 1970 as well. But also, the slightly larger semi-fastback Chevrolet Nova and even marketed as an alternative to subcompacts such as the Volkswagen Beetle and the new class of domestic subcompact cars like the Chevrolet Vega. Numerous trim and option package variants of the Duster were offered and designed to target customers seeking economy, cargo capacity, and/or performance. The 1973 Plymouth Duster featured here is an excellent example of the versatility these cars offered in a changing muscle car market and even now checking all the boxes of an entry level car buyer who wants performance, bold looks but is on a budget. This car has been cosmetically restored with some slight resto-mods making it a great car to drive and show. The older repaint presents well with a nice luster and shine. Body work, if any was light as there are no obvious indications of any collision or rust repair. Bumpers have been painted body color with blacked out trim, rear spoiler and the lift off fiberglass scooped hood giving this Duster a serious performance look. The underbody of this car is unrestored, and the rear floors have been repaired, and the remaining structure is rust free and solid. The black interior has new carpet, headliner and custom door cards and package shelf. The seat upholstery appears original on the factory high back front and rear bench seats. Further upgrades include a Grant steering wheel, B&M Shifter and Nakamichi AM/FM stereo with AUX output. The dash features the factory gauges with coolant temperature and voltmeter. The odometer shows 87,000 miles on the 120 MPH speedometer. The suspension is unrestored with non-power drum brakes on all four corners and power steering. The under hood has been lightly detailed to showcase the 318 V8. The engine appears well maintained with fresh tune-up with new spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap & rotor and fuel filter as well as all fresh cooling hoses and fan belts. The exhaust flows through a set of Hooker headers into dual exhaust with X-pipe into Flowmaster mufflers giving this Mopar a strong rumble through the tailpipes. Power is transferred to the 3-speed automatic transmission and planted to the pavement through the 14 factory steel wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A raised white letter tires. This stunning Duster as it was designed originally, still represents a great value and potential in the current market and it's ready to cruise.
