🔥 472CI HEMI Power | 25,641 Original Miles | 3x Magazine Featured | Show-Ready Rotisserie Build
Imperial Motorcars is proud to offer one of the baddest Mopars ever built—this 1973 Plymouth Duster HEMI, featuring a Ray Barton 472ci V8 and a full rotisserie restoration that's nothing short of breathtaking.
This car's story starts in Toledo, Ohio, where it spent decades stored under bed sheets in a garage, owned by a grandmother who preserved it like family. Discovered with just 22,000 original miles, it became the perfect foundation for a world-class build.
A Ray Barton-built 472ci HEMI was installed in the 1990s, followed by a complete, show-quality rotisserie restoration. The result? A Sublime Green, magazine-featured muscle car that runs as hard as it looks—and turns heads wherever it goes.
This Duster has been featured in three national magazines, including Mopar Muscle, and comes with the full documentation to back it up: build photos, literature, and a show display board.
