    Gauging interest in my 1970 duster survivor

    I picked up this duster last spring. Basically I was looking for a toy but ended up with a historical artifact. I don't really want to get rid of it, it's a nice car, but it's not what I really wanted. So I'm putting this out there to see what people think it is worth, and to see if anyone is...

    How much do you think a 72 coronet with a 318 could tow?

    Curious. I probably won't end up doing anything like this with my coronet, but I will probably be towing some things at work (hopefully with trucks provided by the company) and it got me thinking about whether it would be possible with my coronet, if I rigged up a hitch on it (which I am pretty...

    Stupid winter storm is destroying my paint... advice please

    Not even gonna get into the whole story about this. Because of the ridiculous wind we've had since the storm started yesterday, there are four spots where metal to metal contact has rubbed through the paint on my car. They are on the passenger side, each spot is about the size of a tennis ball...

    1969 motor mounts on my 1970 duster... what does this mean?

    I ordered motor mounts for my 1970 duster (225 slant 6), they came in yesterday and they are completely wrong. We looked up 1969 valiant mounts and those look correct. I ordered those, so we'll see if they work. But what does it mean if my 1970 duster came with 1969 valiant mounts? Could I have...

    Can a stereo head be installed under the seat/has anyone done this?

    Something I want to do with my duster, hopefully over this winter, is install a stereo system, but I want to hide it as much as possible (and still keep the cost down as much as possible too). It seems like the only place I can hide the head without springing for one of those glove box mounts or...

    Thick coat of unbuffed wax to protect in the winter?

    I saw this mentioned in a thread a while ago and wanted to hear your thoughts on this. Apparently some people put a thick coat of wax on their car and leave it unbuffed over the winter to protect it. Is this a proven practice? Does anyone here do it? Is there any risk involved in doing this? Is...

    Might be coming time to retire the coronet...

    It's really tough to think about, but I have to face reality while planning for the future. It was just over 6 years ago that I bought my 1972 coronet. I was 15 at the time and I paid for it with my own hard earned money- $700. My dad did offer to pay for half the rebuilt engine that we put...

    Finally got my rims mounted with no issues

    Got these rims from a member here, they were made in 1970! Put new tires on them, only to find at first that the right side front tire would hit on bumps. Moved the fender brace and rolled the lower fender lip and that was taken care of, but then found that the upper control arms were actually...

    left hand lugnuts on my 70 duster? Is that right?

    I thought mopar stopped doing this by the 70's, but I went to put on the cragars I got from here today and no-go... left hand lug nuts on the left side of my car, I only have right hand lugnuts for the cragars. Is this correct/original or does this mean it got changed somehow? This car has...

    What repair manual for a 1970 duster?

    Want to get a repair manual for the duster, but there are lots of different ones to choose from. What do you guys recommend? I was thinking I would go with the Haynes 1967-76 Dodge Dart Plymouth Valiant Duster Repair Manual (about $25).

    Detailed DemonIVR installation instructions please? 1970 duster

    Sorry for being needy but I know almost nothing about electronics. I need to be told how to install this thing. The pictures at demonivr are not helping me understand what I need to do. Right now I have the instrument panel removed enough that I think I can manage the install. It is still...

    Duster in the Harbor Freight Portable Garage- fits, just barely

    Got this portable garage for storing equipment. While I was putting it together I decided to see how well the duster fits in there just for reference. The duster will be going in a real garage to comply with classic car insurance, but if anyone here doesn't have a real garage or something, this...

    So I picked up a 1970 Duster today, got some newb questions

    Got it from the nephew of the original owner. Even got the original bill of sale, warranty and a bunch of service records. The car is in pretty good shape and drives real nice. It really doesn't need that much work overall, but there are a couple things I want to get squared away soon. First...

    What's a 1971 340 Demon CLONE worth?

    I saw a 1971 340 Demon clone for sale on ebay, it was originally a /6 dart and the guy made a convincing demon out of it. It has been painted and the body is in fair shape, not perfect but not bad. Included in the sale is "all the necessary sheet metal to complete the restoration.". Seller...
