1971 Plymouth Duster for sale in Bakersfield, CA
Listed at $7,500 USD.
Selling my 1971 Plymouth Duster rolling project. Clear California title, current non-op, Bakersfield, CA 93312. Originally a slant-six car, confirmed by the fender tag and broadcast sheet. It is NOT a factory 340 or numbers-matching car. The car rolls and steers for loading but is not running and will need to be trailered. This is a substantial assembly project, but it includes a strong 340 drivetrain, desirable suspension/brake upgrades, a very good interior, and a large collection of parts. I believe most major parts needed to complete it are present, but buyer should inspect and inventory everything personally.
