Plymouth made some fantastic vehicles in the ’60s and '70s, capitalizing on the muscle car craze with tenacity. The Duster was one of their compact car offerings, a two-door coupe variant of their Valiant nameplate. Produced between 1969 and 1976, it offered a range of in-line six and V8 powerplants. This meant that buyers could opt for fuel economy or sheer performance. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1973 Plymouth Duster with a rebuilt V8, and all maintenance is reportedly up to date. So, if you’re searching for a great American classic car to add to your collection or start building a collection with, this car is an ideal candidate either way.
Wearing an attractive black and red paint theme, this 1973 Plymouth Duster oozes charm and attitude from every angle. The reflective stripes and original Rallye wheels with new tires contribute further to this image, while the prominent hood scoop isn’t just for show either. Chrome bumpers, a rear spoiler, and a sleek side profile cap off this car’s outward persona. Now let’s check out the interior, which continues the red and black theme. Here, you’ll find leather-upholstered seating for four adults and largely original-style fittings, including the dashboard and door cards. There’s an aftermarket tachometer and some auxiliary gauges that have been added, but done so in a way to not disrupt the classic vibes of the dashboard. You’ve also got a newer Sony radio cassette player, once again integrated into the dashboard in a seamless fashion. Pop the trunk, and it’s a similarly clean and neat affair. It’s clear that a lot of effort went into the restoration.
There’s a 360ci V8 under the hood of this 1973 Plymouth Duster, pumping power to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. Since this engine came for the 1974 model year, we’d hazard a guess that an engine swap has been done. The factory horsepower figure for the 360 is 245hp, which is excellent given that 1973 was when the Malaise Era truly took hold. The car also sports disc brakes and a new exhaust system for a cleaner V8 roar.

One of the Sport Compacts from the Seventies, the Plymouth Duster was produced between 1970 and 1976, as a stylish two-door coupe with a compact footprint and naturally, V8 power on offer. However, the potential of this car was somewhat stymied by the onset of the Malaise Era, and the Duster would go the way of the dodo, being replaced by the Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare combo. Today, we have a 1973 Plymouth Duster for sale from Lafayette, Tennessee, with just under 78,000 miles to its name. This originally 340ci car has received a previously rebuilt engine with a little more displacement for some extra fun.

Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now. The car has been completely restored and rocks some neat modern features.
Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Plymouth may no longer be around, but this storied American auto brand that was under Chrysler’s umbrella will perhaps be best remembered for their Road Runner muscle car. It may seem comical, naming a muscle car after a cartoon character – the Road Runner from the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons by Warner Brothers. It might seem even more comical that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to license the name for the car. And it might seem ridiculous that they spent an extra $10,000 merely to develop a horn that made the signature “Beep Beep” sound of the Road Runner from the cartoons. Remember, all this was in Sixties money, so you can do some calculations and see how much was actually spent by Plymouth to get this iconic muscle car as right as possible. Today, Road Runners are highly desirable, so we’re glad that one has come our way. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner hails from Pittsburgh and has got a 383ci V8 engine under its hood. If you’d like to catch this bird, give us a call or shoot us a DM right now – don’t call the coyote who clearly needs some coaching.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
