I've been looking for a street/ mostly-strip car, preferably another Duster, but I dig '62 Plymouths, especially the 2-door sedans. Something I can drive to the track & back after some fun. I'd change a few things, but if anyone's near Mandan, ND...having good eyes on it would be handy & compensated. Anyone know this car ? It's more $ than I wanted to spend, but that's happened before

No max wedge intake or heads. My 440 'Cuda clone at least had a 440 in it. I also don't think the seats match the overall theme of the car or the balance of the interior but that is a pretty easy project if one wanted a more stock look.

This is annoying: Quote I don't know if the heater works, wipers, or radio. How much effort would it take to find out? Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

When did you start looking? My (street -strip) Duster was listed for sale here, from last July until I put it away, back in November, for winter storage.... Plymouth Makes It!

But the buttons are probably OK. Agree on the seats, and I'd want to do something about the wheels; at least paint 'em red. And I could see a Dana & a 6-point cage in the car's future, if it makes enough power...

The goofy part about not checking operation of heater, wipers, and radio is absurd, but not a disqualifier if the car does what I want it to do. What I'm hoping for is that someone here could look it over in person, and give me a trustworthy opinion on the car.
