1970 Plymouth Duster review from North America
"A very dependable car, with some spice!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil.
Rebuilt carburator.
Wiring short.
Steering box.
Rip in the seat.
General comments?
The car is excellent, good looking, and reliable transportation for everyone. It is a great car and gets a lot of looks.
It would not be a good car to drive in the winter, because it rusts easily, but for summer it is excellent.
The 318 V8 makes good power, and is still running like new with nearly 150,000 miles on it, and 31 years later.
