The Plymouth Duster has always been about affordable, lightweight fun. Well, things just got serious with this 1974 Duster Restomod coupe, which gets all the traditional Duster stuff right (light weight, conservative styling, cool look) and adds a 21st century twist in the form of a fuel-injected 5.7 liter Hemi and a modern automatic transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, and an A/C interior, creating one heck of a cool Mopar resto-mod.
There's just no way you could build this car yourself for the asking price, and if this car is still in the showroom two weeks from now, I'll be shocked. The blue metallic paint is a close approximation of B5 Lucerne Blue, which was a very popular color for Mopars in the '70s, and it looks awesome stretched over this semi-fastback A-Body. Finished to a strong driver-grade, the paint is properly shiny and very handsome with only minor imperfections to speak of, about what you'd expect on a vintage muscle car built to drive. It's the perfect blend of pretty and blue-collar, a combination that's worked on the Valiant/Duster cars for years. White Duster 'billboard' decals slash down the profiles to break up the blue paint and add a performance look, matching the new white vinyl top perfectly. Add in the color-matched bumpers and the aggressive rake with the big slicks out back, and you get a compact package that looks like fun and wants to run. Again, it's not perfect, but rather pure, great-looking driver-grade, and there's no shame in that, especially since it will be even more adept at luring in unsuspecting drivers on the street who figure it's just another garden-variety small block Duster. The decals are recent, so they're crisp and nicely rendered and the sheetmetal and panel gaps are quite good throughout, so it's obviously been a clean car all its life. Add in a few discreet HEMI emblems on the front fenders, however, and this car is going to generate a few double-takes.
The interior got a nice makeover, too, but doesn't lose any of its honesty and working-class roots. White bucket seats straddle a factory center console and set the sporty theme, and the white vinyl upholstery is in good order with no splits or tears. Matching white door panels are in good order as well, recent black carpets look good and offer protective carpeted mats, and the fat Grant steering wheel feels great during white-knuckled driving. The original black dashboard is intact but the gauges are now modern black-faced units that look awesome inside a bright bezel, and a big Pioneer multi-media head unit was installed in the center of the dash to handle the entertainment, and it's matched with a Kicker stereo system with upgraded speakers in the cab and a big amp in the trunk. Inside the woodgrain adorned center console, a tall Lokar shifter allows do-it-yourself shifting of the modern-tech automatic gearbox, and the under-dash A/C system is all there but needs a little service to blow cold once again. There's also a reasonably spacious back seat and a giant trunk that was neatly finished with gray carpeting throughout.
Big bucks were spent under the hood, where room was made for a thumping 5.7 liter HEMI V8 that's neatly fitted inside the painted and detailed engine bay. The fuel-injected unit provides the instant starting, easy idling, and good fuel economy that we've come to expect from our modern daily drivers, and it pulls the rather lightweight Duster with relative ease. It's a big performance boost over the original wheezing 318 and service access remains very good, with modern accessories and components that can be worked on at just about any Chrysler/Dodge dealer. A giant aluminum radiator and open-element air cleaner keep things cool, all the wiring and plumbing is very clean and organized, and a modern alternator and belt system cranks this powerful beast right up every time. Underneath you get a 4-speed automatic transmission (although the builder reports that the 4th gear was purposely not hooked up), so this is a very easy cruiser and that injected HEMI sounds awesome exhaling through a custom Magnaflow X-pipe dual exhaust system with turndowns just underneath the rear bumper. 4-wheel disc brakes improve stopping power tremendously, tubular A-arms, coilovers, a big sway bar, and a power rack-and-pinion steering system were all added up front and steady the handles, and that killer stance is set with 165/80/15 front Nexens and 275/60/15 rear Mickey Thompsons wrapped around a slick set of Jegs alloys.
A very slick resto-mod that's read for the road today, this Duster already has all the hard work finished. All it needs now is a willing dance partner. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
