Rowdy little hot rod! I purchased this Duster and a Barracuda from
a collector. After talking with him I knew he was meticulous with
his cars. This is a professionally built car with a stack of
receipts and lots of documentation. It is an extremely dialed in,
detailed car with great looks and bad boy muscle!
EXTERIOR: This is a sinister looking muscle car! The color, scoops,
spoiler, stripes and stance! The fit and finish are excellent. The
body is absolutely straight, stripped down to bare metal before the
3 stage paint job was applied. The Gunmetal Metallic paint is a
beautiful color, laid out evenly and polished to a glass like
finish. The painted stripes are under the clear coat and smooth to
the touch. All the panels fit beautifully with nice consistent
gaps. The door hinges were rebuilt so the doors close easily with
minimal effort. The scoop on the hood gives you an idea there's
mean lurking underneath. It also has Hotchkins hood pins and
optional fender mounted turn signals. It's nicely dressed up with
racing mirrors and a rear spoiler. The windshield is new and the
original glass is tinted. The chrome trim was all straightened and
polished. The front bumper was rechromed and the rear bumper is
new. The weatherstrips look great. The stance is tough sitting on
15" American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels with tires that are
fatter in back.
INTERIOR: It is flexing some muscle in here too! There's a set of
sport bucket seats and in between them is a B&M slap stick
shifter in the factory console. Down on the floor the carpet looks
great and there's a set of Duster mats. The dash is very clean, it
was blasted before paint then outfitted with a new dash pad,
repainted trim, a full set of custom gauges and a modern stereo.
The steering column was also totally rebuilt. It's a factory a/c
car, the controls and vents look great. I love the leather wrapped
steering wheel too. The door panels, armrests and handles are all
new. The rear seat looks great and was upholstered to match the
front buckets plus it folds flat. There's a pair of 6x9 speakers
behind it and 4" speakers in the kick panels too. Overhead has a
mint headliner, visors and a working dome light. It also has sound
and heat proofing throughout.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: An unruly street brawler! Under the hood with a
functioning scoop is a performance built 383 that was bored .030
over. Other internals include: sealed power pistons, forged crank,
reconditioned rods, double roller timing chain, purple camshaft,
new rockers, new push rods, and a Melling hi-volume oil pump. It's
topped off with a Proform race series 4 barrel carb, vintage
Edelbrock aluminum intake, fuel pressure regulator, and MSD/Mopar
Performance ignition system. The Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum
heads have been tricked out for even more power. It also has air
conditioning and power steering. Nicely dressed in a chrome air
cleaner and ribbed aluminum Mopar Performance valve covers. It's
flanked by a set of long tube headers and the squirters are hooked
up. NOS Modine 4 core radiator. The underside of the hood,
fenderwells and firewall are all painted slick just like the
exterior. The original fender tag is still in place.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted as
slick as the car. Inside is solid with a custom cut carpet on the
floor and neatly installed side panels. The front panel actually
opens into the interior. The battery is relocated to the trunk.
It's contained in a stainless box, has a battery tender and a
marine grade disconnect switch. The jack assembly is in a custom
made bag. Everything is sound and heat proofed. A nice car cover is
thrown in too.
UNDERSIDE: Below this hooligan's ruffian appearance is an
exceptionally clean undercarriage! The steering and suspension were
completely disassembled, blasted, and refinished, including in the
rear. The springs and bushings have all been replaced and it has
upgraded KYB gas shocks. It also has an upgraded brake system with
disc at all four wheels. The e-brake is hooked up, and all the
brake lines were replaced. It's a great sounding dual exhaust with
headers, Flowmaster mufflers and R/T square tips. The fuel system
has been replaced including the tank and was also upgraded with an
electronic pump. Looking up at the motor it is spotless and has a
high torque starter. The 727 Torqueflite automatic has been rebuilt
with a Trans Go full kit including TCI clutches and seals and it
all looks fresh. It also has a Hughes 2400 stall converter, Right
Stuff cooler, Lokar linkage and a new slip yoke. The rebuilt drive
shaft leads back to a rebuilt Auburn 8 �" rear end with 3.91 Sure
Grip gears and Yukon axles. The floors and frame rails look to be
rock solid with factory undercoating that is looking fresh with
dusted black paint. Everything is neat and tidy!
SERVICE: We ran this through our shop and serviced the radiator,
transmission, blower, horn, and center console.
This troublemaker should be arrested for disorderly conduct! If you
got an inkling to misbehave, this Duster will cause a whirlwind
everywhere you drive!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
