Something to warm the cockles of Ron's heart.  What's the official name of this colour, Ron?  It's beautiful.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

You win the forum today for the Saf mention.

"Unimaginable deals!"  Well, I can imagine one where they sell me the car for $100.

At least, they offer free Carfax reports on their site.

Could be legit. Seems like similar years but lower mileage ones are listed in that 12-15k range.

Yeah seems legit to me also.  That's a lot of kms, hence the price.

I should really look at something like that as a daily.  Junior II will be 16 this year.  Junior I and II could split use of the Tundra and Civic for daily stuff and I daily the LS.

I just start out expecting every ad to be a scam, not the other way around.

Unfortunately, that's the default position these days.  But, you can't let your guard down for a second.

They can be money pits apparently, might be the thing. Sounds like you need to PPI thoroughly and be prepared for some high dollar fixes:

^^ I like the idea of turboing the Slant 6. Everyone else removes them and throws in some interation of  a V8. Vice Grip is doing a LS 318 in an old Duster  presently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehGHFJUcOB0 Part Mopar part GM.

I have a soft spot for the Slant 6,as my Dad had 3 of them in various cars in the 60's and 70's. Learned to drive on a 76 Volare.

Friend of mine is restoring a 76 slant-6 Duster to original spec.  It's been sitting in his mother's garage since she retired it back in the day.  He talked her into keeping it for him as a project back then, so it's about time.   ;D

^^^So the last year of the Duster / Dart. What colour ?

When I first started working our employer had many vehicles in the fleet. Mostly Dodge B100 vans with those slant 6's .
