CHECK THIS! 1973 Plymouth Duster
Wow, ask for feedback and get mad when you don't hear/read what you want to see.
To put your 7K into perspective, I bought this yesterday.
The car has all the body panels in nice shape and need the inner fenders replaced as the owner cut them out. Has some very minor dents. No rust anywhere. Perfect green interior (yuk, but nice). Has a Big Bolt pattern 8 3/4 with 3.23 SG, BBP disk conversion, 73+ spool mount K frame, shumaker BB engine mounts, exhaust system, BB727 with 9" convertor, 4 grilles.
Additionally, 2 Dana 60 with snubber provisions (one is an e body), one with a set of 5.13 and a power lock carrier, 2 sets of aftermarket axles (summers/moser) and a std bore 440 block and a 440 steel crank.
The car has 24K miles on it.
All that for 2400.
I buy these cars ALL the time and you NEVER get out of it anywhere close to what you put in, unless you buy a 440-6 or hemi car right from the get go. Even those are dicey at best now. IMHO, Your stuff is maybe 3K if you get the right buyer. The most expensive stuff, paint isn't done and the biggest deterrent. Hate to say it, but that's the way it is and the easy money economy is gone. If you get more than 3K, be happy.
If you were expecting warm fuzzies about your asking price among some VERY savvy mopar A-body people, you came with unreasonable expectations. I'll lie and tell you the stuff is easily worth 7K and if it was I'd be on your dorrstep with the money... please don't have the coffee brewing expecting my arrival anytime soon. Sorry!
don't shoot the messenger and remember this...
Ask me no question, I'll tell you no lies!
Hate to read about your financial situation. Hope all works out for the best.
