Im going to cry :(

A guy on another forum found this on Craigslist and said it was too far for him to go look at it.
I saw it, but am not in the position to buy another car right now, so I told a co-worker about it…and he went to look at it, then bought it. Yesterday my friends and I went to go pick it up for him (4 hour drive)…but I’m kicking myself for not being able to buy it.
’72 Plymouth Duster “Gold Duster”
Its got a few typical spots, but nothing bad…it fired right up and drove itself onto the trailer without skipping a beat.

I felt bad for the seller, he’s had the car since he was 16 and said he just doesn’t drive it anymore. He had ALL original receipts for it, from oil changes to inspections, to insurance stuff…even ones for where he was buying a switch for it. Original broadcast sheet was in with the paperwork, as well as the owners manual and a cool old hat pin. There were even a few OLD pictures in there, I’m guessing from when he first bought the car. He was the 2nd owner of it.
It has been repainted (factory color), and the motor is not the original but an original 318 was put in its place. Its not PERFECT, but its still an awesome car for its age…and the smoking deal of $1,000

I think I’m going to go cry now.

But hey, it gives me hope that when the time comes, I will be able to pick up a car like this.

I don't know where you live, but heck, NO WAY are there deals like that here! I have a Dodge, but it needs a hell of a lot of work. Nice score!

My dad tried to get me to buy one of these back in 82, if I remember right the back seat lays down. And you can put a ladder in there if you wanted too. In 2001 I found a original one owner 1969 2 door fastback mercury with approximate 60k miles, og paint and interior, I think it had a 464 marader engine the car was completely stock get this $2000. My wife even said I could buy it so when info ready to buy it the guy couldn't produce the pink slip so I had to turn it down. Earlier this. Year I saw a 67 ranchero, original paint and interior $2500 bucks it sat for over a month, before it sold, that's ok I started to save up there are more deals out there, I'll get another chance

For $1000.00 your friend stole that car. Where I live, that would bring at least 5000. Great score.

sweet deal

Ahhhhhh southern cars.

Incredible deal.

poor lad must not have the internet. Could have posted it on craigslist for 5 or 6,000 and sold it the next day. I would have bought it for that :( I'm lookin at a friends 71 mustang El Grande. Almost the same color... Wants more than 1,000, but its in good shape. I'm not much of an el grande fan though. Would much rather have a mach1 or fastback

Yeah...super deal. If it's parted out I need a hood!!

wow now thats a deal! 1K is a :gun_bandana: deal
