Recently bought a duster myself, i noticed your headrests are in a bad way, dunno if you are able to fix that patch on the drivers one, but i have a gold interior (which is ruined apart from quite clean h...

Yeah i just found an online calculator that worked out all the duties. A Rough estimate (based on an older shipping quote) is gonna be just under £500. Gotta wait a few weeks before the order is ready unfortunately, the Mopar Air cleaner is 2 weeks back ordered, the floor insulation is also 2 weeks ...

NPD quoted him something like £800 for shipping directly from them. Cant remember how much STS came to, but i remember he said about getting it shipped from STS UK t...

Decided to just bite the bullet and buy the parts. Ordering about 2k worth of stuff from classic. Hopefully i wont have to buy a...

Nice Car.......Is it a factory Gold Duster (RE: Trim Package)?

Would be a great find if it was......... :thumbright:
I Do believe it was a factory gold duster. At leas that is what the seller told me. It has the cream interior so i think he is right.

Well done, Chris. We picked our '72 Demon about a month ago and also insured with Flux. Came in at £134. I'm only 8 years older than yourself so I know all to well exactly what it's like when they tell you the comedy figures that they want over the phone. I remember my Nicola parting with something...

Cheers for the help and advice guys, gave Adrian Flux a ring. They quoted me 800 a year, which to be honest was way less than i was expecting, and only slightly cheaper than what i pay for my daily now.
If all goes well this week, i should be the owner of '71 318 Duster
