1970 Duster 5.7 Hemi Project - Amherst, NH
Originally a slant 6 car that was running and driving. I have done a bunch of work to it but it still has some left to go. My plan was to have a street strip car that could cruise the highway getting 20+ mpg but also hold its own at the strip. With a 1 year old and more kids in our future, I have to sell this as I have no time to finish it.
If there is enough interest, I will part the car out.
BODY
New AMD Inner fenders and floor pan welded in
New US Car Tool frame connectors, front torque boxes, and inner fender braces welded in
Drivers front frame repaired (all rust cut out)
Torsion bar crossmember center cut out. Made plates to cap the ends and started making a new transmission crossmember to get structure back and support the transmission (46RH)
Inner rockers patched
Firewall patched (needs two more small patches)
Needs new rear torque boxes, full rear quarters (with floor extensions), and full outer rockers welded in. I have all of these (AMD and US Car Tool pieces)
Fenders are rust free except the mounting rails have small rot holes
Doors are rust free
Drivers door striker area rusted out (have a full jamb pillar rust free)
Passenger inner a-pillar bracing rusted (have complete bracing rust free)
I have really nice front and rear bumpers as well as grille and valence from another car)
I have all chrome trim in good shape
All glass in good shape
I have the complete original wiring harness for the car as well. Ran and drove with this harness.
ENGINE
5.7 Hemi from a 2003 Ram 1500 with 116k miles. I saw it run before it was pulled. Dead quiet with no noise. Fogging oil done every 3 months.
Have completed engine side harness with ECU
Throttle pedal for DBW
Schumacher motor mounts (slant 6 k member)
Milodon oil pan and pickup (mid sump)
SUSPENSION
Front torsion bars are the slightly larger slant 6 with AC bars. Supposedly the GEN3 Hemi is lighter than a slant 6 so I planned to run them.
TRANS
46RH from a 93 Ramcharger
3 pin lockup version. Have stock lockup converter
Stock pan and dipstick
INTERIOR
Complete interior minus headliner and carpet in good shape
Package tray and rear seat backing in good shape
Drivers front bench has one small tear
Dash pad has no tears or cracks
Have complete A/C heater box assembly with condenser and evaporator
NEW PARTS
Borgeson steering box (large sector shaft)
Holley Sniper EFI Fuel tank with fuel pump, sending unit, and their external fuel regulator/filter combo
AMD Full Quarters with trunk gutters and floor extensions
US Car Tool Rear Torque Boxes
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. If there's anything specific you want to see I can get pictures of it. Ask away. Yes I can make it a roller with a 7.25 rear axle if necessary.
I'm asking $4500 obo. There is way more in this car in parts and l
