I found mines on Sales Market Place
Had one of these when relatively new. Slant 6 can be easily boosted in horsepower. Leave the way it is, clean it up, keep it stock, enjoy as is.
real easy,rip it out and drop in a 318,360,400.to get any reasonable amount of power out of a slant six costs a fortune and you really dont end up with much.
Keep that slant six where it is. They are declining in number and we need to preserve the good ones. A V8 is a dime a dozen, but a slant six is rare.
My dad won one of these in 1973 in a raffle. Mist green with a slant 6. 3 speed on the column. Drove it for years. Finally parked it after the transmission went out. Gave it to a guy to pass on the good karma. I loved that car. Part of my childhood.
Keep it stock. Do the maintenance on it and detail it the bajesus out of it : )
Love those slants, best engine in the world!
Looks good, Dylan. That 225 slant six is extremely durable. Check out Clifford Performance, they specialize in slant six and straight six performance. Clifford Performance mods would really wake that slant six up. Looking forward to the progress.
You guys down south are so lucky.I knew of 3 guys in high school with Dusters and a Demon.The slant six was a great engine.Too bad our cars up here in Detroit literally rust to pieces because of the salt we use on the roads.Keep the 225 in that one.
Those slant 6 engines are excellent. Had one in my 83 d150 . Was a work horse .
I would pull the slant six replace what's needed or just looks old, paint the engine, paint the engine compartment and make it look like a brand new 73 when you open the hood. Everyone seems to yank the six for a V8 which I think is a shame. Keep it original!!
great deal, in 1983 I had a 74 Gold Duster 318 3 spd Std optioned. Would love one back like you.
My dad had one just like that about 15 years ago. He had traded around and got it somewhere. It wasn’t running but was all original and in exceptional condition otherwise. It was a gold duster, slant 6 in it too, but it had jumped time. He was a busy man and everything had a price, so it sold before he really touched it
Way back when, a buddy of mine had a 1973 Swinger (basically the same car) that car had even less options, no air, no vinyl roof, same slant 6, same ugly hub caps and it was brown. The car had been given to him by his father... and he hated it! BUT it was super clean (it was only a few years old) and instead of swapping in a 340 or 360, he sold it and bought a clapped out 67 Mustang that needed TONS of work. It's kind of cool to me to see that interior again... Good job I'd love to see you either keep it as it is with a few upgrades (like wheels etc) or beef up that slant 6 (love those) and make it a powerhouse. Any way you go will be interesting I'm sure.
Nice score! My brother and I have a 74 Duster project car, almost identical to yours. Keep the slant six!
It's so cool to see a young man who appreciates these classic Mopar's . I found a 73 Dodge Dart Sport in 1993 & it was a little rough but it ran & I worked & had money saved up so I got it. Within 5 years it was looking the way I envisioned it the summer before my senior. Got married & sold it but had great time's in that( old dodge) as my wife refers to it. I sure hope it's being took care of . Would love for someone like yourself to have it . Thanks for the great video's & for taking care of your cool collection of Mopar Classic' s.
That car could have been al Bundys!!!
Even has a vinyl top similar to Al's 'Dodge'...
My mother had a '72 Gold Duster. I was just thinking yesterday about trying to find one. I would like to go big power with a HEMI swap from a Ram. One this clean I would just keep the oil changed and enjoy it!
Al Bundy's car from Married With Children, haha. Nice car!
I have the same car! Well mine is a 75, but it was an original Gold Duster Slant Six I found in South Arkansas last summer. You will have fun with it. Mine is awaiting a 383 Big Block. Good luck!
I’m green with envy... I bought a 1976 Dart Sport in 1996 when I was 16. Gloss black. I ended up selling it and I’ve regretted it ever since. Mine was a 318/four spd car with a perfect black Dash, white interior and tweed front buckets.
I would like to see you work more on the duster !!!!
Napcide Ramirez *crop duster
I wouldn't go crazy on it. Take care of the mechanicals, nice set of wheels, not those big ass things. You got pretty cool start with it already.
I just had a flashback. The first car I can ever remember was my moms gold duster. I saw that steering wheel and it flew me back to like 1982. Had forgotten all about it till just now. Wow.
I bought a 1974 Gold Duster brand new. It was the biggest piece of Sh-t I ever owned. I had nothing but problems with it. It was dark green with green interior and a white vinyl top and 318 V8 with auto transmission. The back seat folded down for carpeted floor all the way to the carpeted trunk. Your video brings back horror and bad memories of my first new car ever. I traded it in after a year of ownership on a 75 Ford Granada, 6 cyl auto, which proved to be a great car.
I like this old Duster.
That's a nice solid car. If it was mine I would fix it up as-is and not swap motors. The Slant 6 can get some good mileage when treated right. I would fix the transmission leak (maybe make a video of the fix?) and give it new shocks (another video?) as well.
I've owned 3 Mopars with the 225 Slant 6 in them. Those are damn good motors. Two was early 70's Dodge Darts and the other was a '79 Aspen.
One Dart was given to me for work performed on a guy's Chevy pickup. His wife had spun the Dart around on a patch of ice the previous Winter and creamed the rear end on a tree. To get it running and drive it home I cut the fuel line and punched a hole in the floorboard. Then I ran a flexible line from the fuel line to a gas can in the rear floorboard and let the pump pull the fuel out. After I got it home I stripped it out and sold parts. Got $375 for the motor and tranny (64k miles) and another $80 for the seats and a few body parts. Then I got another $40 at the salvage yard when I finally towed it in for scrap. :-)
EDIT: My Dad had a D100 with the 225 and it was a work horse. Ran great until my bro-in-law drove it as he ran it into the ground.
I Recall back about 1977, the local dodge dealer had about 30 dodge darts all about 20,000 miles and all about $ 1900.00 to$ 2100.00. My old buddy bought one, and drove the wheels off of it. Those 225 slant 6 were incredible engines.
Look at how wide that door opens! Cool find.
You don't have to build it in one day that's for sure. Make a good driver out of it and enjoy it. One thing I learned not every car needs to be a project. Some can just remain what they are when they rolled out of the factory. Tires and wheels are obvious, you need to give that car a little bit of a look to it and something to break up all that gold paint. I say just make it a mechanically sound car for now!
Al Bundy car right there!
Sorry to see that you removed the original whitewall tires and factory wheel covers. To me they looked so much nicer than your replacements. It's just that I am older and a stickler for originality. Your taste is different and that's OK. I remember these cars when they were new. Actually I had a new 1975 Dart Sport with a 318 V8. The car was medium metallic blue with a white vinyl roof. The 318 ran great and got around 18 mpg highway. I enjoy your videos and love those old Mopars.
Charlie White I'm not as old but share your name but we think a lot alike. Originality is the way to go because they only come stock once. When you start screwing around changing things it starts losing value and appeal. These cars bring back so many memories and when you start modifying them, they don't even look like I remember them.
Good buy. I'd run it as is. The slant 6 is a good motor. To drop a V8 in, you have to change the K member? One of my favorite rides was a 69 Swinger 340 4 speed. Fun car.
Vader1957 I believe you can keep the /6 k member you just have to change the motor mounts
Yeah the K member and rear end too but I would run it with the Slant 6 those things are bullet proof
Ah, the unmistakable sound of the leaning tower of power. I remember that sound. I have a gold Duster too, except it was originally a 318 auto with factory ac. The 318 is out, with a 360 magnum in it's place. It's been passed onto my brother, as I'm trying to find a 2 door C body or a 2 door 1960 Plymouth. Awesome channel dude, it's exactly what I'm interested in.
liked the little horse by the radio... those slant sixes would run forever. nice runner
Nice - when I was a kid the house across the street had his and hers twin '73 Dusters.
Nice find man she's in nice shape. That's the original color of my 73 duster according to my fender tag. You have just convinced me to go ahead and get the 68 dart slant 6 car I been thinking about getting from my buddy. It doesn't run and I've only seen pics of it but it looks to be in decent shape and its all there. I just have to go check out the body in person to confirm wether or not I want to fool with it.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to mess around with a slant 6 car. I was kind of torn because I love the body style but I didn't want to worry about having to do a motor/trans/rear swap. Then I thought well maybe I'll just save time and money and keep it a slant 6. I figured it will probably still be a fun cruiser with the slant 6 and it would be cool to keep the original drive train in it especially since I've already got other v8 cars. If I do end up getting it I will do the same and just get it running and enjoy driving it as is for a while.
james myers Awesome! If you get it send me some pictures.
Dylan McCool No doubt, Will also make a video.
Remember this, these slants are capable of boost that can put an A body over 11second 1/4 mile times
Nice Duster. I had a 68 Dart Slant Six automatic. I cut the heads 90 thousands and bumped up the compression. It moved out for a six. Duster or truck liked them both.
I love the dusters...my favorite car ever!
Hello. I think i would keep six, small bolt ralleys, good tune up, and convert to disc breaks..nice dailey driver.
Those are great cars, I have driven a couple of them. great to see yours.
318, black stripe, new rims with white letter tires would look great on that car. No matter what you do though nice score, I have to say I'm jealous.
Jerry Seinfield I like your style.
It must be nice to live in a place where cars don't rust to death in ten years!! Cool car man......
Man I had the same car back when I was 16 with the 225 leaning Tower of Power I wish I still had that car it was so reliable and did awesome burnouts it's too bad the 1/4 panel on your car has a crease down the passenger side but it's still in nice shape I wish I could find another Duster like that
That would be out of proportion hot, with triple Weber 45! Or maybe a hyper-pak!
Epic
After all, that is “The Leaning Tower of Power!”
I like it. My vote? Off white pleather roof textured. Wheels and tires. And...a 318.
Paliacho9 Not a bad idea.
keep it a slant 6 find a HyperPak kit for it If I was you and change the rear gears to a 3.55 ratio and hold on tight not sure how much slant 6 info you know but if you do some reading you can tune that beast up that it will compare to a 318 is it a 225 or a 198?
I think hopping up that little six would be so cool just because nobody does them up really.
Wow! What a find!
I had a 75 Dodge dart with a slant 6. A tank. You can’t kill them unless you run out of oil. 👍
Congratulations! Nice buy. I had a identical gold car in the '90's. / Pelle in Stockholm.
those slant sixes run smooooooth !
Wow!!! You are Very Lucky! That reminds me of my dads All Original Numbers Matching 71 Charger... Its got a few imperfections... But its (basically) almost, Hahaha: A Time Capsule... I'm going to have to build an in-closed shop for it... Hahaha, Congrats and Thumbs Up on your new Gold Duster!
nice looker
how about a turbo on that slantty 6?
That is so cool! I love the originality of it especially that it’s quiet and broke in taken care of! Rock it! My buddy and I co own a ’77 Pontiac Bonneville with 400 thats also original & it runs great and now has a 4 speed from a newer Olds so runs slower on the highway. Other than that and side exhaust in front of the rear wheel it’s original and fun to run around in and sounds great.
I'd like to watch you work on the duster and it'd be cool if you kept the slant six since so many people always swap them out and I have a slant six in my 67 Valiant
I had a baby blue 74 Dart sport as my first car back in 81,just purchased a 76 Dart sport for the same reason my first car
brings back memories my first car was a sky blue 74 duster with the same motor
Think I had a 72-73 Plymouth Satellite in pea green. One of my first cars!
Nice. I would daily drive that all day
Slant 6, great engine. Do up the truck and put the Duster on the back burner.
Solid buggy ! good find
Al bundy old Dodge..... Very simaler
Hey man love your videos just amazing. You should fix the dart and do what you really want to do to it. Because for many of us our first car's mean so much to us and you telling us your first car was a Dodge Dart then make a lot of videos on it. If people loved there first cars and there able to get one like it again then do what you can to it. Once its done the car would represent who the driver is from the bottom of his heart. Keep making the videos man there great.
Love the Duster
Hyper pack it! I have a slant 6 in my mild custom 66 fury III would love to see someone actually keep it a slant and hyper it
Very Sweet Find
Love the original tires
Keep the slant six in the car. Call Clifford performance in CA all the performance you will ever need
Sweet ride. Nice score man!
Pro touring car. It’s clean and straight.
great find 👍
That nylon distibuter gear Get YA! i grew up in one those ....n later the 78 slant 6 cloare wagon wich we drove till i wass 18 ..drove it to Jy recgret it..
My pops mught been 70 had the twister sticker
Sexy Duster, I think that Scamp at the end is perty decent too;)
Sweet find but you should put the parking break on and chock the trailer wheels i broke a parking gear by un loading a car truck rocked back and forth so much the finger that engages park snapped was scary.
i own a dodge dart 1970 with a 318. your awesome put the black strip
Plymouth , yes please.
More on the Warlock!
Very cool car!
harold maat Thanks!
Paint the roof flat black to mimic the vinyl top of yore, it'll go with the stripes.
I'd totally rock that as a daily driver
Would you consider selling one of your D100 pick ups? I would love a clean old runner. The north (Erie, PA) sucks the life out of old vehicles.
I know this video is old but mt first car was a 1973 dodge dart sport too. Im currently slowly restoring it.
I have 73 Plymouth Gold Duster the same color.
Just beautiful 😍
buzzin half a dozen
my 2nd car was a 74 dart sport. Loved it!
Hey Dylan. Nice grab on the gold duster! Picked up a parts truck for my trailduster. 78 Ramcharger. It has a nice dash surround and glovebox. Need anything like that?
Nice duster
Hey peg have you seen my car I gotta go to work
Wow what a car!
leaning tower of power!
Sox & Martin pro-stock tribute car:)
Nice car can't wait for more videos I would get new wheels paint job and lower it some and v8 swap like you said
Nice car!
cool find
So how many touchdowns in one game did you score?
I hope this car continues to be untouched
So funny I’m watching this video and you have 173000 subs but during the video you said thanks for the 20000 subs !! Lol 😂
My Duster the same color.
Don't v8 swap. Hop up the slant-six put double 3" exhaust and 6X2 headers, it may even get som good bracket-times
