This is a car that was purchased by the current owners grandparents in 1976, it was left to him when they passed. Now he always liked the car but at the time wasn't in a position to drive it so he parked it in the garage for 14 years so he had to get it back to running condition. Now he had everything mechanical in the drive train flushed, sealed or repaired. A 4bbl Edelbrock manifold and carburetor were installed also, all original parts were saved and come with the car. There was about $8, 500 spent to make it a good driver and that was about 4 years ago. He is pretty sure ALL the records/receipts from 1976 to current are in a folder he has and come with the car. The car needs a couple little things now and he is making some changes so he is parting with the Duster.The The Gold Duster package gave you the 'snake skin' top, stripe kit, full carpet, sound insulation, pleated vinyl seats, white walls and full wheel covers. This car is still wearing most of the original paint, it has a small spot by the back corner of the driver side of the hood that was touched up, no knowledge of what was done. There are a couple of dents, a few scratches and some chips in the paint but there is nothing lurking below a repaint. The underneath and chassis are immaculate, we don't have harsh weather here so no corrosion of any kind. All you see is the original undercoat and a little surface rust on the exposed metal parts. The interior had the seats reupholstered, he had them done in cloth and the material was some original Chrysler material they had from many years ago that didn't get used so he opted to have that installed. The headliners on these usually get dingy so they pulled this one out an covered it with a thin cloth material so it looks new. The package tray was also recovered. The dash pad is warped and has a couple of crack but he just had a custom comer made. The carpet and door panels are original and in decent shape, not show perfect but nice driver condition throughout the interior. The engine and transmission are in perfect condition, he had everything flushed and resealed about 4 years and 4K miles ago. The gas tank was also boiled out then and the brakes serviced. The air conditioning was converted to R134 but it isn't as cold as he'd like but it does work. It will need lower ball joints and bushings for sure, it drives good but has a pull to the left. The rear spring are sagging and should be replaced or a helper leaf added. The car has been on several recent trips as far as 250 miles away so it's possible to fly in and drive it home.Cars this original are getting hard to find, this one is so close to being a 'Survivor'.There is no Buy-It-Now, the reserve is is fair.
