So as some of you know, I have had little to no luck finding a 72 plymouth duster for my father and I to work on restoring together. So i have been looking around for almost anything else. We both really like the A-body cars and I have found some Valiants.

First on is a 1965 Valiant, 4dr, 273 V8, auto with rust for $900 just a couple of towns over from me. I'n not too crazy about the body But I have heard that from 65-67 you could get the 273 V8s in a dart, valiant and baracuda that made 235 HP. I'm not holding my breath on this one though.

The second one is a 68 Valiant that is just over 2 hours south of me. The body is in really good shape, little bit of bubbling and rus but nothing I don't mind fixing. Its a 2dr, 225 slant 6, auto and B-5 blue coupe. I really like the body line on it. The car is listed on ebay with no bids. I've emailed the guy telling how close I am and asking what he really wants for it. He siad that he'll be listing it oup on craigslist this weekend.

So I know which one we will probably go with (the 68) but in all honesty, how much do you guys think its worth? Here is a link to it.

well from the pics it dont look to bad if i was going to bid on it and then have to go get it $3500 doesent seem to bad i dont think i would go any more than 4000 hey if your interested in a 72 duster i bet i could get my hands on one i can do some checking if you want me to

 

oh yeah i know for a fact there is a really nice 72 duster for sale for 2500 obo at dvap.com but its in phoenix arizona

 

Not sure if '72 was the only yr you want but here are a couple in my area. Shipping would have to be taken into consideration but I would be more than happy to look at one and seend report and more pictures.

We don't really want to have to deal with shipping and we really would like to be able to see it in person before making a final decision on purchasing or not.

Yes, 72 is the year that we are looking at for a Duster as they are unique to that year. But like I said, we love A-body cars so thats why we are looking at the Valiants as well.

Thanks for the links and offers though. I will look through them and let my father see them as well.

 

The 68's a nicer car, and Iam trying to find that name for ya Tim.

 

if that guy wants 1000.00 for it i would scoop it up , you can make a sweet sleeper out of that, looks like it could be a really nice ride

 

that 68 has some real potential, wonder what his reserve is...

 

Thats what I'm trying to find out. I'm trying to make plans to at least go look at it this weekend.

 

it doesnt look to bad

 

Well I went down to take a look at the 68 Valiant. Minus it needing some floor boards it looked pretty good. I made an offer and the guy accepted it. I'll be bringing it home next weekend.

 

Hey, Congrats man, well done.

 

I'll post pics and specs of it in the appropreate area as long as there is still sunlight by the time I get done getting it home.

 

congrats Tim

 

Thanks guys. I just have to convence the little lady that it was a good idea. At least I won't be sleeping in the dog house, since we don't have a dog.

 

haha

 

cool car congrats. LOL thats why i keep a fold up cot in the garage. she gets mad. i just go there when i get home from work. really makes it worse, then she cant harass me before i go out . she tells me, you need to come in the house first so I can send you out there. i get no pleasure in it otherwise. I kinda egg her on since I have a frig and cold beer out there. and the cars are out there too. Go ahead punish me mommy!!!!!!

 

LOL

 

Thats funny, it's sort of like,
" I thought you wanted a new set of screw drivers dear " lol

 

what pisses my girlfriend off is when she says why do you spend so much on a little part then i say how much is that purse your carrying then I usually dont hear anything else from here for a while

 

haha

 

I can say that also but I am usually the one that pays for the purse that she wants and its usually after I sent money on something that I really wanted.

 

so you cant win, can ya Tim?

 

Not really, unless I make her really happy before the part shows up or include her in the installation of the part and hope that she had fun installing it..... which doesn't always happen.

 

I'm looking to buy my first mopar. I'm looking for a 71 or 72 roadrunner project. Help please!!!

 

all my wife know is how fast it goes " slow down" and "how loud" it is , or "HUNNY" or "JEESUUSSE I WISH YOU'D SLOW DOWN" other than that she doesn't know one part price from the other just that i need it to fix the car
God I love her

 

She must be lucky for having you.
