Close inspection of the body will confirm this to be an extremely solid dry climate example. This car is turn-key and handles excellent thanks to the improved steering gear and rebuilt front end. The power front disc brakes operate excellent, highlighting the recent brake work performed.

 

There are minor flaws present on close inspection of this quality Duster. The is older and in good condition with chip touch-up here and there. The finish was just professionally waxed. The sheetmetal is original on this car. Seldom will you find a Mopar in this good of condition.

                                                   

The inner and outer quarter panels are very solid.

 

1973 would be the last full model year of "cheap gas" before the OPEC oil embargo. Several safety and environmental features were looked into by Chrysler and the industry in general. 1973 would be the first year Chrysler features electronic ignitions across the board. This points and condenser-less system provide approximately 35% more spark and better cold starting. Power-assist disc brakes were not made standard on all Fury's and Duster 340s. Plymouth boasted a 21% increase in sales.
