It really is a very cool car! If it doesn’t sell by the spring I will be loading it up and bring it out to Arizona and building it!

No I’m not, I’m still in Arizona. The car is at my buddies house in Illinois.

All front and interior door panels are almost perfect along with arm rests.

1971 Plymouth Duster 340 4 speed She’s all cleaned up and ready for someone. I’m asking $5500 OBO This car is really cool and it has a beautiful broadcast sheet!!! It’s still wearing its factory GK6 Dark Bronze metallic and is extremely solid underneath! this may be the only example built with...

Sho nuff does! Man I want to car-snoop your barn!

The guy I bought it from thinks it’s original paint but he’s not positive, I’m dying to see it in person. I’m still debating on dragging it all the way out here or just selling it in Champaign just as it is. Gauges are in the back seat, all wiring, lights etc are there. I’m going to post it up...

I do, the pictures are not really all that good but

hey man! You’re a good guy for keeping faithful to that deal! When I’m back I may just run that way just to say hi and check out some of your Mopars. I’m sure you can pay it forward and help out another Mopar member that may be in need of the parts. Thanks buddy, you interested in a 71...

There’s no denying that is a major reason for uprooting my life and spending every dime we had to go 1,700 miles away from everything I knew and all of the car connections I had... Driving any of my old Mopars anytime of the year absolutely makes it all worth it. Also, it still makes me queezy...

The buyer came by with cash and “SUNburnt” now has a new owner and home. Dude got one hell of a nice first Mopar Muscle car cheap! On to the next!

I can’t wait to share the next gem I’m dragging home!!! want a hint? It’s a 71 with an H in the VIN... Mopar to Ya!!! And a Straight Axle!!!

I left the underside alone for his exact reaction, I wanted anyone that looked at the car to see how amazingly solid it is everywhere. Not pretty, but amazing. Eat your heart out rust-belt! (I just moved from central Illinois...)

I took the Dart Sport to a local restoration shop today to have it inspected for a potential buyer (at his request) The shop owner walked around the car with the buyer and had a punch in hand and told him he will use the punch on all of the potential rust areas that may have been covered up...

Man you know it does! You know the saying "It will nickle and dime you to death!" has to really mean "It will $50 and $100 you to death!" Thanks for the compliment!

Well, after adding an aluminum radiator and routing the heater hoses this thing runs super cool in the 110 degree AZ heat! Its a great car and pulls really hard, barking the tires in each gear change! Im going to let the next buyer build the AC lines and charge the AC, as of now the Dart Sport...

And it’s finished! I’m Loving the don’t see don’t tell thing! And it cools so well! You have to really look to see it has electric fans! And they REALLY blast the air! It’s really sorting out well, the fans never let it get over 185 in the 112° temperature it is outside today on my 30 minute...

I’ll have more when it’s finished.

So I decided to do away with the factory Dodge Ram clutch fan and add the ever so popular Ford Contour dual electric fan set up that so many do on here. The clutch fan sat too far outside of the factory fan shroud and at idle wasn’t cooling as much as I want it to. Living in the desert and...

You would be correct! Detroit Muscle is what I used to restore this box. I’ve had really good luck in the past using the old lines and a converter oil with new neoprene o rings through out. Those were all factory lines and the old style compressor. I had a great shop back in Illinois that would...

Great tip! That’s just what I was looking for! Thanks!!

I still am waiting on running the heater hoses until I get the AC lines figured out for routing purposes. I’m hoping to use the original ram manifold and lines that come off the compressor and mate (reduce?) them to the original lines. I’ve talked to a couple places that make hydraulic lines and...

So I have been doing some work under the hood, details are part of what I love about doing these things

It’s back from the exhaust shop and sounds amazing! The Magnaflow knockoffs have the perfect mellow tone I was wanting and the 2.5” with an H pipe just sounds and looks right! The Challenger tips give it that E Body sound I’ve always really liked too. (I’ll post a video as soon as I can figure...

I’ve seen that terrible show before. Terrible. Thanks!

Loaded and ready for exhaust!

Well, it’s about 98% finished! Got the stripe painted last night and was able to replace all of the door handle and lock clips so the door panels I repaired/rebuilt could go on. Installed the door cups and arm rests front and rear and it’s almost finished. Need to still get an antenna and some...

I actually drove the Dart Sport for the very first time today! I took it down the street and back into the garage. It really is a great feeling when you get to the point you can finally drive what you have spent so much time on. It fires every time at the turn of the key, steers nice and...

Seats are re-covered! Even though the interior is originally parchment and taupe it’s now black and taupe. The only correct sets in the original parchment are NOS and Legendary gets (or at lease wants) about $2k for the front and rear covers alone! I understand they are NOS but... Eventually...

I’m super happy with how it came out. It was really sketchy installing it by myself but I finally got it. I was on the verge of putting a 5 bow type in it... if I would have had to pull it back out and re-build it I was going with bows. I have an extra set from a 70 I parted out years ago...
