Steve Garske’s 1973 Plymouth Duster

1973 Plymouth Duster


I purchased this car on Ebay last year and had it shipped here from California. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it had absolutely no rust and just a couple of minor dents and dings here and there. It was a black 318 car w/ a black interior and black vinyl top. I decided to do a ground up restoration on it and go back to the original b5 blue.

Most of the chassis is stock but I did replace the drive train from front to back. It now has a 440 bb w/ a performance cam and Edelbrock 750 cc carb., 727 transmission, an 8 3/4 rear end w/ a 3:23 Suregrip, and front and rear disc brakes. It took less than a year to build and it's been fun.

I'm now looking for a Cuda or Challenger to rebuild like everyone else.
