1970 Plymouth Duster, Base Model on 2040-cars
Waller, Texas, United States
|
Hi and thanks for looking.
In 1970, Plymouth unveiled the new Duster model, which was based on the 1969 Plymouth Duster I concept car. The Duster was all Valiant from the cowl forward, but the rest of the car was completely different. It used a semi-fastback roof and a special rear valance with twin horizontal taillights. For 1970 only, a small Valiant badge went on the front fenders just above the Duster badge. The 1970 Duster was available in two models — the standard Duster and the performance-image Duster 340. Engine options were 198 cu in (3.2 L) and 225 cu in (3.7 L) versions of Chrysler's Slant Six and 318 cu in (5.2 L) and 340 cu in (5.6 L) LA-series V8.* This particular vehicle has a newly built 225 Slant Six, with 145 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque. Also installed was the super six intake and new two barrel carburetor. The distributor, coil, radiator, master cylinder, and water pump have been replaced, as was all fluids. The tires are showing their age, and the left handed lug threads on the driver’s side have been changed over to right handed lug threads. There is new carpet, still in the box. Also, there weren’t any seats, so I acquired some seats from a ’75 Duster. There were also major dents in the driver’s side front fender (which is included in the sale), so I replaced the fender with one from a ’74 Duster. The steering column was also rebuilt. The Duster also had manual brakes that I converted to power brakes. The car is currently not running and should be trailered to its new location. I also have an additional passenger side quarter glass with frame that goes, and a proportioning valve for a disc/drum setup. Now, for the bad stuff. There is rust on the lower rear quarter panels, but no rust on the frame rails. Also, the front suspension needs to be rebuilt (parts included) and shocks need to be replaced. This is a great project car, and with very little effort would be an excellent daily driver. This would also make an awesome show car/strip vehicle since it is such a solid foundation. May trade for a pre-’72 4-door car or wagon. Sorry, no Fords. *Taken from WIKIPEDIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Duster |

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.
