I Saved This Awesome 1974 Plymouth Duster From A Parts Car Death

[@matthewb8229]

As a child of the 70s, and a teenager of the 80s, Centerline wheels will never hear a bad spoken about them by me. They're just so...hotroddy... I promise you, every person in town hears an open pipe car or truck running down the road thinks, "Well, Jamie got him some new pile of rust."

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I love ‘em. They just seemed a little modern for the 60s gasser vibe I want for the car.

[@TheREALOC1972]

I'm the same, child of the very early 70's and teenager of the 80's these mid-late 70's cars were our High School Hot Rods, yeah there was the random late 60's and early 80's cars but for the most part the 73-78 cars were the norm. My first car was a 76 RS Camaro that I bought from my next door neighbor that she sold to me for $200 when she got married and moved to Texas with her new husband, My best friend had a 78 Nova, My High School Sweetheart had a 75 Thunderbird, Her best friend a 73 Dodge Dart and so on, these were the cars early Gen Xers grew-up with and drove in High School and They are coming back around as builds because for the most parts they are still around and either on the road or like this car are not far from it because the parts are still available and you can buy them DIRT CHEAP. Just about every project car in my club out here in Southern Arizona (Tucson area) that have been bought since the Dempanic and the Convid "outbreak", are the "smog" cars of the mid-late 70's. I've personally been driving while I work on a 73 Buick Regal That I bought for $1200 and after airing up the tires, throwing a battery in it and disconnecting the fuel system and running it on a gas can I drove it a little over 50 miles home. I was going to just park it in my shop and completely strip it and build it into a full Restomod but the longer I drove it home the better it got So I just decided to make a Daily Driver/Cruise/Cars and Coffee Car. As of right now I have right $4,000 and I all have to do is paint it. I've pulled the engine and trans cleaned them up really good and painted them pulled the body off the frame and sandblasted and repainted everything along with new bushing, bearings and body mounts. Redone the interior by dyeing most of it and then went to a junkyard and bought some captain style buckets and center consol from a 77 Olds Cutlass. It was originally green on green on green but It's now going to be Dark Silver with Dark red Interior. The wheels are the original steel wheels with baby moons. I'm not putting alot of money into it, I just want something nice to daily drive that I can still take cruise nights and cars and coffee's on the weekend.

[@staceyrenner5418]

Amazing what some people consider parts cars these days. I know it's not an early Duster, but man that thing is definitely a worthy candidate for a little love. Oh, and that Star Wars crawl was friggin' awesome lol. Won't be able to make the livestream tonight, hope everyone has a great time!

That duster is not bad at all, a great project for sure - all the better that it’s a slant 6. As much as everybody loves the big V8’s, there is a place in this world for inline 6 engines I have had many

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I totally agree! And I sold this car to a young guy, who seriously went ham on it, fixing all of the rust, repairing, coating, and sound deadening the floor. Last I saw it it was really coming together well.

[@lowest.tier.garage]

Nice work man! Can't believe that car was going to be parted out. I totally agree with the mindset of saving these classics. Before I bought my short bed D100 (big block), the previous owner was going to part it out, but he could have been bluffing. However, I bought it for an amazing deal and the previous owner seemed pretty genuine. Anyway, the truck is super solid and I would have hated to see it have the same fate as many other great cars that have been parted out. Glad you saved that duster. Also, that has a wicked stance!

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

It’s amazing what used to qualify as a parts donor… I know, I dig it. The secret? Literally the biggest possible rear tire that could fit 😅 I think a taller front tire but lower torsion bar setting would help the look a bit.

[@linwoodlane7006]

Lovely save - never thought id see you actually wash a car - im all fuzzy inside now

[@desertmopars3336]

The problem is there are guys with better condition Dusters, that need minor things, with MORE money and LESS of a conscience, than the average guy. I saved a 74 Gold Duster a year and a half or so ago doing the same thing, I gave him the parts he was going to waste a whole car for. I can't drive it on the road with no title... but EXCELLENT drag car material. It will continue on!!

Lol we were chatting when the cable on the truck left ya. It's a good save and I am getting a rust free one of these in April to run through the shop. Your right the early ones are hard to find so these are more sought after and affordable. They are nice pay checks when you find them. The fact it runs and sorta drives is 4 grand here. Brakes are optional equipment

Awesome save!👍 That vinal top trim is worth a pretty penny in my part of the country, it's not reproduced and hard to find!

[@TheREALOC1972]

Yep but if it were me I'd paint the roof a different color than the car (Something Chrysler did in the later Duster's) and keep the trim. My aunt had a Brown 76 Duster that had a white painted roof, she bought it new that way. They started doing away with the vinyl tops because it was just cheaper to paint the roof a different color than it was to paint the top in epoxy and put a vinyl top on it.

Yes, I completely agree with you Jamie. Around here, if a Duster looks that good and even runs & drives, it'd be worth at least 3 grand all day long... Last summer is seen a 70' hard top Catalina in about that same condition but with no motor or trans sell for 3800 dollars.

[@johnmaki3046]

I could NEVER "feel" a Pontiac Catalina!

[@claztube]

3 months later... I remember a good buddy of mine had this same color Duster model. Per usual it had to be Christened with a moniker. It became known as Buster the Duster. This would have been in the early 1980's. If memory serves my gray cells even partially, he had a couple mechanical issues, what those were though, I just can't recall. It was though a good running car for his needs with maybe a 'charging' issue if I were to guess after seeing the regulator concern you pointed out. What became of the car, I'd guess money being tight at that time in our young lives, Buster likely was sold off for little cash and off went Buster to some other fella to get working as a daily driver in our region of and time of our lives as minumum wage service oriented workers in the S.F. Bay Area.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Isn’t that interesting? I liked my ‘74 when I had it, of course, but like most other people I’ve always thought of them as the ugly ones. I actually like the front end now. Something about time passing. Also the more every modern car looks like a jelly bean space ship, the better this looks. I suppose having driven one in my formative years probably helps too.

Wow... that Duster has the electric rear defroster?!? That's kinda rare. Just that by itself makes it work getting! If you ever have to scrap that car for some reason, make sure to pull that rear window, the wiring, and switch. Also, seems I recall reading in my owner's manual years ago that the electric rear defroster option included a 60 amp alternator... whereas models without that option came with the 45 ro 50 amp alternator. Would be crazy if you discovered the thing still worked!

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

It didn’t work… which was unfortunate. That would make good sense - they definitely pull some juice.

In answer to a question you asked on a different video, i wouldn't trade the '68 Charger for a '69, I've always loved the '68, i don't know why... I also like the '73, but that's partly the styling and partly because it's the year i was born... So... (Technically, i suppose I should chase the '74 because i was born in September).

I also remember that when she used for turn indicator, the voltage gauge would wiggle a little bit. Looking back on it, it seems a little weird to me that the turn signal would use enough voltage set the voltage gauge did that.

Anyway, our mutual grandmother had an enormous white Dodge - it might have been a 1960 Matator. I even gave it a "tune up" (I thought I knew how to use a strobe). I wish I could go back and time and drive that car to your shop so you could do a video about it. I am sure it was long ago melted down to make soup cans or fidget spinners.

[@01trsmar]

You should have seen what they considered parts cars in the 80's and 90's!! Solid,straight complete 1968 Charger R/T 440 that would still run and drive and a $60,000 car today, they chopped them up for parts,same with Cuda's etc...Not kidding either! A parts guy here would buy cars off local auto trader and part them out and he sold parts at a high price,and he was in business for decades! He ruined thousands of great cars..majority were not wrecked either nor needed major mechanical work! I saved a '73 340 Cuda from him as I beat him to the seller,he pulled up about 5 minutes after I handed the guy the cash and I got the title..Solid car paint,interior perfect,engine ran strong same with trans..Was my daily for 2 years,looked perfect from 5 feet away! The guy would have parted that car out he told me! car looked like it had new paint from 5 feet away,minor rock chips,minor road rash on rockers and lower rear 1/4 panels..Original paint shined like new and looked like new paint if you didnt see the minor rock chips,white stripe was perfect,vynal top was perfect,no bubbling of rust under it! Zero rust,Zero dents,interior had a minor split in drivers seat(I repaired)..clean and looked nearly show car fresh..Gauges clear etc..150,000 mile,clean 73 340 Cuda! I drove the car 2 years as a daily before rebuilding the engine/trans after lots of light to light racing (hey I was young)..Unreal the cars that got junked/parted out! And yes,my buddy bought a rallye hood from him for his base Challenger he cloned to a 440 R/T in 1992..and we seen the cars he had,many were not crashed or junk,most looked better than what was driving on the roads,meaning paint,interior etc.. People had to buy from him for some rare cars when their was no reproduction parts,so my buddy contributed to the insanity!! Thats how he bought near mint cars and parted them out..He didn't care,he made double or triple back chopping them up! As he screwed the guys with high prices that needed the parts! Glad for reproduction parts,it brought used parts down in prices making it worth selling the car complete worth more vs parts in most cases!

It’s possible there may have been some random package change, option update, or similar during the production run that might lead someone to say their car was a 71 1/2, but there’s definitely nothing major or official that changed. People call the A12 cars 1969 1/2 because that package was released in the middle of the ‘69 run. To me it’s still the same ‘69 body and was made at the latest in the middle of 1969, so I can’t say I get it.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Batteries cost $85 at the cheapest here, and that’s with my commercial discount at the budget parts store. So… I’m good with the kind of ok used ones I’ve got 😅 I buy nice batteries for the cars that deserve them.

Restore it. Put in a V8. Then you might have something worthwhile.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Do you know what restoring a car costs? Do you know what a ‘74 Duster will be worth afterwards? I’m just wondering, because I work at a restoration shop, so I do…

[@JoeFilardi]

hi don t you have a power washer at home to clean up your mopars it would be a lot better for you and not kill yourself to wash them k.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Yeah, I do. Pressure washers are great. They also leave marks and remove loose paint and trim, so there are reasons I don’t normally use it on classic cars.
