Vehicle Description
There's nothing like having a unique muscle car, it's even more fun
when you are that unique in the rare Mopar crowd. This
restoration-fresh 1973 Plymouth Duster provides the kind of cool,
and quality, that most of us just don't see too often anymore.
Take a moment to really appreciate this golden goddess. The Duster
had one of the most aggressive A-body designs, and the
factory-correct Golden Haze paint just highlights every curve
perfectly. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that this coupe has a
mountain of restoration receipts that proves how much was invested
to make sure every gap is uniform, every bolt is new, and every
panel is laser straight. As you continue to pour over every detail,
you'll be happy to know that the Gold Duster name is not just an
added fender decal. This is an original factory package car, which
means the canopy vinyl roof also belongs here. If the gold wasn't
enough shine for you, then the bumpers and five-star Jegs wheels
add plenty of chrome to this near 24-karat car. But what we all
really love is the hood. The twin-snorkel scoops are a great visual
connection to some of its bigger Mopar brothers, and it adds to the
overall mean-machine appearance that includes the aggressive black
striping on the hood and sides.
While we enjoy all the gold on the outside, it's nice to see a
race-ready black vinyl interior. This was originally a bench seat
car, but it has been given a nice set of high-back buckets for
all-day comfort. This coupe is not only a Gold Duster, but it's
also a Space Duster, too. This was Plymouth's name for the optional
fold-down rear seat. This is not only another valuable standout
package, but it's also quite handy if you ever use this cherished
classic for practical purposes. The owner gets a mix of factory
equipment with some nice upgrades. There's a an updated three-spoke
steering wheel with a new tachometer mounted on the column, that
all offers good comfort with the power steering. Beyond that, the
original style dashboard offers a surprisingly complete array of
gauges. The heater/defrost, and working AM radio looked just the
same as they did from when this car left Detroit over four decades
ago. But just below that is the new B&M shifter, which is great
for everything from banging your way through the automatic
transmission, to just resting your hand while cruising, and a set
of AutoMeter gauges forward to keep an eye on the vitals.
Under the hood is a freshly rebuilt 318 cubic-inch V8. Now we know
that you've already noticed the 340 decals on the side of the car
and on the chrome air cleaner, but all that dressing was for a good
reason. This motor is less than 1,000 miles off its rebuild, and
during that time it had performance goodies added such as a 340
intake, a 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor, 340 heads, and a more
aggressive camshaft. So now this motor was constructed to surpass
even Plymouth's top-of-the-line 340 ci engine. The perfect
complement to all these upgrades is the headers that run to the
dual exhaust providing the kind of rumble that lets everyone know
you've arrived. But as you already know this Duster is out to be
visually impressive, too. So just like the exterior, there is
plenty of chrome to accent the gold engine bay, including polished
valve covers, radiator, and fan shroud. Just because this all looks
pristine doesn't mean you should be afraid to drive it. The freshly
built automatic transmission, power brakes with discs up front, and
power steering all mean this coupe is happy to tear up the streets
all night long.
This is a Plymouth that will turns heads with its beauty and
uniqueness. It's time for you to go for the gold. Mopar doesn't
