My current Daily Driver (pictures and video are a couple weeks old, taken when I was working on the car)

Since my '74 Duster won't be finished this year, I figured I'd drive a '73 340 Duster instead. It's my dad's car, but he gave me the keys to it in 2008. Only took me 4 years to get around to fixing it up again.:eek:ops:

Prior to this it hasn't been driven in well over 15 years.

So I rolled it into the garage, put it up on the lift and started replacing parts. :D I didn't stop until it had a completely new brake system, fuel system, steering/suspension, etc.

The last picture is actually a video, click on it. It was also the first time the car had been started in about 4 years.

340/727/8.75", Manual Shift with a Slapstik Shifter. 489 Chunk with 4.10's & a Spool, 29x14.5xB14 tires on the back, 205/70/B14's up front.
 
Been driving it pretty much everyday as a "work car".

I had a few moments where I was laughing like crazy, especially when some kid on a bike stopped and yelled "Light em up!" :D There is still hope for the younger generation if kids still want to see a muscle car burn rubber. :burnout:
