Pretty solid car so I think the asking price is about right and $5k would be a real nice buy.
Gotta love when people can't clean the entire speedometer/odometer lens and just wipe their finger across the odometer readout. Too much work to clean the whole cover.

i am not really a A body person. but in my opinion a almost rust free car would pull near $10K in the rust belt area. being a slant 6 car would make a perfect blank canvass for your 410ci small block sleeper build on a budget due to almost no body work needed.
perception is 90% of reality

Good discussion guys, thanks!
I've been sorta looking for a beater car that I can throw a 440 in and take to the track or just take downtown to get ice cream. I don't plan on doing any body work to the car I get, just drive it as is. I have a few cars that have not been restored and I find that I enjoy driving them more than the restored cars I have.
Not being in a rust prone area the cars are a little cheaper here. Recently there was an almost identical, '70 Duster, same color and condition with a spare small block and a new Twister grill, for sale for $8900. It was for sale for a very long time. Don't know if it sold or if they just didn't renew the ad.
This could be a fun car if the pictures do it justice.

Follow up: I'm still living in the past as well. It just doesn't seem that long ago when this would have been a $700 car. Times change and I don't seem to be keeping up very well!!

He probably killed two 7-1/4"s and got tired of doing it, so in went the 8-3/4. I had a 68 Dart convertible with a 318 and 727 with an 8-3/4 because it had a tow package. Luckily I had a broadcast sheet to prove it...

Follow up: I'm still living in the past as well. It just doesn't seem that long ago when this would have been a $700 car. Times change and I don't seem to be keeping up very well!! Today, you couldn't find a complete nice original Shark Tooth grille for under $700 bucks This particular Duster in my area..(MI) is $8-10k all day, if it's as stated in the ad.
