Always a blast getting to revive an old classic like this! The Duster turned out great and I can’t wait to see it back on the road!
Don’t forget to check out the NEW Yard Geek video released today!!! Have a great weekend!
You have a great weekend as well.
Yeah after years it has been dirty, and now it looks better when you clean it detail geek you have a good time and a great weekend bye bye.
Love the videos
You too@@lilliethornton9353
Couldn't stop myself. Had to watch the new Yard Geek video first. This was fun to watch to see a classic car get a wonderful clean up. I love the color since it was clearly original. GO Plymouth!!! 💜
You should ask the owner of this Duster to do a TH-cam channel for his restoration. Would be awesome to watch!
Same thought here,would be awesome
true i would watch
Yes, I agree 👍
That would be awesome to watch it get restored
💯 agree. Love seeing old cars restored
Love the color!! I'm today's world cars are really only a handful of colors now. Black, grey, white, maybe a blue, or red. But you rarely see yellows or greens outside of super cars. I'd love to see these colors come back!
Me too!!
I just bought a 2022 lime green 4Runner TRD Pro, like 2 weeks ago!! I absolutely love it!! You're spot on, the colors these days are so boring and over done! Bring back fun, different colors!!
a 1978 caprice I believe was available in like 14 exterior and like 10 interior colors
I think it's avocado...I think our telephone was that color😂
How do you not love that 70s pea soup green? It’s a great color and car. Great job as always!
Please! That was avocado green, and it was hugely in style at the time. Along with copper and burnt orange. 💕🇨🇦
@@lynnjasen9727 LOL a food is a food
@@lynnjasen9727 Poo green?
The color looks like a military vehicle's dessert cammo.
Yes! The color is stunning ❤
51 years is a long time ago. This car was a muscle classic in it's time. I really like the original color, the green is so cool. I'm sorry but I did laugh that you accidentally dropped the pressure washer wand. We have ALL broken tools at times. That interior was a true dust bowl. Smart to wear the mask. Glad to know this beauty can be running again soon with a couple of tweaks. I do like how the vinyl seats matched the exterior so well. I agree it was bleach on those carpets, I recognize that weird brown color from spilling bleach on a carpet once. The seats that wouldn't come out is unfortunate, but you still did a great job. The bucket pour was espresso this time. Loving your work with the steamer, great results. This was great to watch and you really restored a classic, so summer will be more fun for the owner. Have a great weekend Mitch. Now off to watch the yard geek video at least once more. 💜💜💜#Mike4Mayor.
Glad, you are here again. I had to watch the YardGeek first, then go to see a classic car video right now. 😊Have a fun weekend!
@@cynthiahopkins7090 I did the same thing. I wanted to know if any of the "joins" leaked where he connected all those hoses. He did a great job there. It was fun to watch. Have a great weekend!!!!
Muscle car era pretty much ended in '71
My first car was a 1973 Plymouth duster, but in Jade Green. But this one’s so close that it was amazing watching you detail it. Brought back a lot of great memories.
This was fun to watch, as my first car was a '74 Duster, in metallic forest green and white interior with bucket seats.
'73, with the same exterior! Mine had bench seats, though (which were ugly, but useful during, em, romantic situations... lol)
I always love seeing these old muscle cars in their original glory. That green was totally styling in the ‘70’s. Personally I love it, but then again I grew up in that era. The matching bench-style seats bring back memories. What a gem and what a transformation, Mitch!! You did a fabulous job bringing this 1973 time-capsule back to life. (Kudos for the nice retro music too).❤️
My very first car was a 1973 Duster, very similar to the one in the video. Mine was also green -- but a dark, forest green, with a tiny bit of sparkle (and white pinstripes). The interior was whitish-beige vinyl. I bought it for $300 in 1990, and drove it up and down the west coast, and then across the country to New York City. I drove it daily in the city for a few years. It would have kept going if it weren't for the brakes, which were utterly shot. Young and broke, I couldn't afford to replace them. I shed a tear when they hauled her away :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane, and thanks for your channel. It's been on my "must watch" rotation for a while now.
She sounds absolutely beautiful! I love these cars
I had one almost the same as you described, but mine was a Dart Sport, young and dumb at the time, I lost control on an icy road
A Duster sitting and collecting dust. How poetic.
Wow, from dust to almost a diamond! Too much rust at this point but you can see the finished project and she’ll be something special. First step: a Detail Geek cleaning to make it sparkle. I don’t mind the colour, we had a station wagon a similar colour as kids. Another great job, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! And I agree, the colour is nice!
My father and his buddy drove across the country in this exact car during the summer of `79
Pity it wasn't 10 years earlier. Then he could have had a band and tried real hard
What engine is in this thing.
Maybe it was this car. In Sask?
It’s amazing to me that so many of these old cars for which you would have been laughed out of the high school parking lot in the 80s and 90s have become collectible and crazy expensive.
Personally, I’d like to see a follow-up video on this car. Please let us know what the new owner has done to this vintage car when he’s done!
Given the age and neglect of this car it cleaned up really well. I’m sure once the car is restored it’ll be even more of a beauty.
This is my all time favorite car! It makes me want my back. Tell the owner to baby this car!
I love seeing these older vehicles and the great work you always do. Nice to see another older vehicle be given another chance at life.
I love this shade of green. Car manufacturers need to get back to these 70s colors and do more color in the interiors than just grey, tan, or black. Some are doing red again but would be cool to see some greens or blues again.
Beautiful transformation. Love seeing OG cars. They really knew how to construct cars back then!! A HOF detail for sure!!
A Plymouth Duster being dusty it lives up to it's name, nice transformation Mitch.
Love those transformations of the classic beauties
Me too! 😄
old girl cleaned up really well, considering. I'd love to see it when it's fully restored! Old Mopars are my favorite restos
I love that this old Plymouth got shown some love and will hopefully get restored to its former glory. You brought it back to life best you could and it looks absolutely amazing! I also personally really like the green color. 😜 and those seats look incredibly comfortable! Happy Friday, hope you have a nice weekend, Mitch! I’m off to watch the new Yard Geek video!!
Awesome! Have a great weekend!
Sounds like it'd be worth keeping a small checklist for people doing old car restorations. "can i break this bolt off if i need to get the seats out" being one of the questions... I feel like if he's restoring it, he'd be taking it out anyway, so you breaking it out wouldn't be a big deal. Also keeping some penetrating fluid for the rusty bolts could help. give them a spray before washing to let them soak in.
It looks so much better. Great job. Good to see cars this old still running. Glad the owner lives in Canada with those vinyl seats. Here in Florida - way to hot to sit on in the summer.
Man, I never get tired of seeing the work that goes into bringing back the life to the vehicles you work on. When I saw the foam hit that car body I knew it was going to be good.
I know you don't get a lot of Rusty chrome wheels come through your shop but for future reference an SOS pad will do absolute wonders to Rusty chrome Wheels without damaging them. Same goes for bumpers. And the green underneath the door panels is actually the original color, the dash and door panels have been painted somewhere along there life by someone who didn't like the green color which is very understandable
My best friend had a 73 “Gold Duster” back in the day. Great cars. You didn’t mention it, but one cool feature was the lay down back seat. I don’t know why more manufacturers didn’t embrace this feature.
As for the color, the owner should definitely keep it. Old school!
Classic car restorations are always ❤❤❤
50 year old carpet was thicker and lasts longer than we get now in new cars! The upholstery came up wonderfully! And real chrome! Great job as always 😊
Given the owner a nice clean canvas for it's restoration. I hope he keeps the colour, and takes the dash and the door cards back to the original green. It would be good to see the restoration and finished item.
It is really nice and enjoyable to see those classic cars and trucks washed and detailed
Hello Mitch: Lovely job done on a lovely car. I agree with you, that the owner should get it running and enjoy it for the Summer. Have a restful weekend.
I inherited my grandfather's 1973 Plymouth Duster the same color exterior (except for the black on the hood) as this one. The interior was all green with black carpet. He bought it brand new in 1973. Mine had the 225 slant six. When I sold it in about 1999-2000 or so, it was in very good unrestored condition. I lived in Arizona at the time and the car had always been in Arizona. It still had the original wheels and wheel covers. I had to sell it because I needed the money and knew I would never get around to restoring it.
Love the color takes me back to the good ole days. Back when they actually cared about cars.
Love the body style of cars from that time. That green definitely says 70s. Since you asked, I don't mind the color, but it is close to one of my migraine triggers (migraine is funny that way). That water pour was the worst ever for this channel, I can't remember one that dark and opaque.
It was pretty nasty wasn’t it!
This car is gorgeous. That aesthetic just looks so nice!
The result was excellent! It must be a different pleasure to clean a road classic! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This duster looks a whole lot better than it did and unfortunately you can't really do anything about the stains but you did an amazing job Mitch
Love those classics with the color mirrored in the interior. 💚 A lot of work to put it back in shape but a good scrubbing is already making it look better.
The color is what caught my eye, very nice, it's actually the reason i watched the entire episode, besides the fact your pretty sweet to look at yourself ❤ !!! 😊
That green is so cool, I really dig the patina on the hood. I think it would be cool to restore the other parts of the car because of the rust out and leave the patina on the hood?! It’s obviously not my car just my opinion!!
Double treat today with Detail & Yard Geek videos! Thoroughly enjoyed both.
I didn’t like this color at all when I was young, but I’ve grown to appreciate this color (and many others) since I’ve matured. I’d be more than happy to own this today.
Finally finished watching the video.
That's a beautiful vehicle especially in its current state. All I'd do it remove the excessive rust and patina the rest. Great job!!!!
Love it. It just amazes me how much of a difference it looks.
What would be cool to see is all those cars together after the restoration on your channel ( let all of us viewers see the end result ) .
Rips notwithstanding, the leather cleaner seemed to bring the seats back to life and the conditioner really dressed them up. And a rare engine steam clean...sweet! The bumpers with that correcting compound...near factory ready I say!
Yayyy for the double uploads!!!!! Can't wait to watch the new Yard Geek video
Yes! 🙌🏼
you rock and seeing these old wonderful cars coming back to life is just amazing, thank you for the upload
Hello there Detail Geek. It is always so good to see you and to watch you clean these vehicles. You always know how to make something look like brand new. I've always enjoyed seeing old classic cars and trucks getting a new transformation. Thank you so very much for everything you do. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 💪👍 enjoy your day and take care
Great time reset on this one. Remember the Pea Green color matched the same color shag carpeting in the house. And don’t forget our harvest gold and avocado colored appliances. But go next door to check out the lava lamp in your neighbor’s house first😜
Love old cars like this - I even like that sickly color green. Reminds me of ridin' around in a small town with my grandparents!
Love seeing you doing some old cars on the channel. Thanks.
Hey Mitch,
Oldie but goodie! Car is good looking once it is complete!!! 💯
As Always Amazing!!! 🔥♥️💯
Thank you!
I just saw one of these at work yesterday. And it was CLEAN
For a car that's 50+ years old and in original condition, not bad at all Mitch. I'm sure your customer will have a fun summer cruising around in that old Plymouth.
Mitch
Nice Job,Earth tones were big in the 70's
First, I always like seeing you working on older cars. I don't mind this color or the green interior -- very unique, and something we don't see in newer cars. I think the white strips sets off the color nicely. And, as always, you did a great job. With respect to the black rubbing off the door panels, my guess is that they had been dyed black using vinyl dye. Also, I've noticed on old cars that green carpet fades to brown, and brown carpet fades to green. I'm sure the owner will be very happy with your work!
I had a 70 Duster in the early 80s. Loved it and killed it. Those kinds of cars always rusted from the road salt.
That’s a crazy looking car and it’s an old model. Interesting
Detail went smooth as usual Mitch bravo
Thank you for sharing this with us! I have not seen one of these in many years. I used to drive a 1968 Plymouth Fury III, in 1975. It was an ugly color too. I called it "Sea Weed" green. It also was green like this Duster..... Now I have to YT all about this car with more pictures! It's a Beauty Muscle Car!
Love those Crager wheels! I have to say, I've never seen mud flaps on a classic car like this...
When I was just a little boy my mother had a duster like this one, same green color, 8 cylinders. I have fond memories of riding around with it. It was rusty even back then though, the floor underneath the drivers side rusted out and there was a hole there by the foot pedal. Those old cars rust out too easily, it's great to see one that will be restored, and so well cleaned before the restoration. If I ever were to ride in one again I wouldn't have it any other color but that green.
Cleaning older cars can be quite as challenging as it looks, But overall I like Plymouth, it's a good brand, I've heard that they stopped making them since the summer of 2001 back in June, Plymouth makes good cars, it's been around since 1928. However amazing job of cleaning this car Mitch and have a great weekend.
Such a classic!
Doesn’t get much better than this!
I seem to recall that the pea soup green was the Dodge Company color of choice.
There was a dear couple that I knew growing up that went to a church that my dad pastored, and they drove a green Duster for many years. I’m excited to see this transformation
I wish I can find the playlist for these songs. I enjoy it
une vrai beauté, et une prestation qui lui redonne de la classe,
beau travail tout de même MITCH , continuez !!✌✌💯💯💪💪
Thank you!
Out of all the cars you have done this is the one I want
Turned out pretty decent. I just love the red Mustang that you did late last year.
Perfect way to wake up in the morning. Love the content, man. Keep it up. 💪
love these really old cars - bet that one restores well too
Interior bits like the dash and door panels have been dyed black. The green is the original color and it comes off pretty easy if the dye wasn't applied and sealed properly. Since it wasn't done right, even a mild cleaner will pull it off.
I always enjoy watching the sill plates get steamed and rinsed.
My sister and her husband had a Duster early in their marriage (1973), and it was brown. They loved that car! I would call the color on this one olive green-very popular in the early 70’s. It’s classic for the times.
The green is a factory Mopar shade I believe. As such, I would suggest leaving it as is or otherwise re-painting it the same color with the same trim, etc. I don't think it's ugly at all. The car sits proud on its suspension and wheels--definitely worthy of a full rotisserie restoration in my opinion. The rotted rocker panels can be replaced by aftermarket panels available through a half-dozen vendors in Hemmings. These were the muscle cars of my youth. In 1972, the Duster 340 was the hottest whip around for the money. That's a large part of the reason so relatively few lasted. We used to see them up at New England Dragway in Epping, NH where they'd easily turn 14's or better with little in the way of enhancements. Just a great, fun, hi-performance machine. I would love to follow the eventual resto on this.
I don't mind the pea green color, it's authentic to it's time frame, and that's actually important to keep in maintaining value in restorations of any kind, whether it's a car or a house or a piece of furniture. The finished restoration needs to be as "stock" as it can be, so many folks make the mistake of "upgrading" a classic, which in many cases can actually de-value the original piece.
The Duster was actually one of the many cars I lusted after in my mid-teen years, had the same kinda "swoopy" body styling as a lot of other cars I admired at the time and which I still admire to this day. Maybe it's just me, but design lines of a car mean a great deal to me and play a very big role in whether of not I'd ever consider owning one. I love curves and fluid lines in car bodies, and dislike sharp edges and/or boxy shapes.
Love the color! Not something I would have ordered, but we live in a such a monochrome world as far as cars go it's fun to see this one wearing something other than white, grey, charcoal, and black. While I don't miss rocker panels rusting out like that, getting a car the way you wanted it by checking the boxes on the build sheet is something I miss. Now you get to buy whatever happens to be on the lot. I hope he brings it back to original specification!
It’s finally Friday❤ have an awesome weekend Mitch thanks for another great entertaining video
Thanks, you too!
I had a 1970 duster the exact color in and out of this one here. Had a slant six engine in it. Was one of my favorite cars I ever had, I miss it.
My husband had a Duster that he had painted a dark green with a white stripe. I don't mind the green that it is. Kind of pretty.
The color is classic. When you were cleaning the seat I had a flash back the how hot those seats got in the summer.
The Duster is dusted no more. Really good transformation. I would be really nice when the owner to come back and show the completion of the restauration. Well done,
Wow you did a really awesome job bringing it back to life. Im from Plymouth in England and our football team is also green and white like the car 😀
Wow looking at the before and after is really good
No matter what kind of vehicle wen comes to people book appointment to detail vehicles like this u manage to get the job done💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯my favourite always pressure washer n interior cleaner while watching this awesome job out there mitch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟
I think it is an awesome color, it cleaned up very nice, always a great watch when you do the older cars
I love the seat colour, even when you first showed them all dusty. That carpet is great too. When I was little my dad had a 70s crew cab Chev Sierra-it was remarkably boring with a rust and cream exterior and a cream interior-and as soon as I saw those vinyl seats I flashed back to getting in the truck in shorts when it was hot, or sunny, or both.
I absolutely adore the shade of green, its so pretty 😭
Well done old car I love this 💗
That’s a beautiful car, love to see it get restored ❤
GREAT JOB DETAIL GEEK 🤘🏿
Hey Detail Geek, I’ve been detailing cars since I was about 16-17 from then on I’d clean my own cars with basic knowledge, as I got older I started doing more in depth cleaning making sure I use good products and learned different ideas and skills from videos and friends. I currently detail family cars with basic inside outside, vacuum, door jams, plastics with detail spray and other products as needed, I can do an okay job with a shampoo machine for carpets and seats from time to time, I’ve never had a negative review from friends or family until just recently, one person told me I need more practice and was told I charge too much despite doing 3 cars on an already reduced price, and they were basic washes, now since I’ve never had negative reviews it’s been bothering me so much that idk what to think anymore, I’m the kind of person that does my best in anything I do and if one bad thing is said it discourages me big time because I’m so used to dis’s appointments and failures in life, what should I do, it’s the last thing I like to do that makes me happy.
It's beautiful.... Love the green
My first car was a 74 Duster. Blue with white stripe and half white vinyl top. It was a great car.
I wish you could do classic stuff like this
Drove a Ford that color, called it the TurtleMobile and I loved it!! The entire clean was great, but the interior vinyl restoration was Gorgeous!!
I wouldn’t worry about the panels or dash, that green may have been the original color and someone tried to recolor them at some point in the past. Weather it was interior paint or something else, it eventually comes off. That’s how I found out my 87 Z used to have a tan interior haha!
Yep! I just didn’t want to make it worse haha. It’s still mostly black 😄
