ok.. the other day, I sold my 1968 cuda and was planning on using the money from that on my 1968 dart, but you know how that goes, after a local craigslist search, I found a listing in parts and it said. -" I have 2 4 speed transmissions , 1970 duster tail panel,1972 340, Kelsey hays disc brakes, and a v8 k frame. I also have a 1972 340 4 speed petty blue duster. we replied to the add and had some very vague information on it and the parts. my dad picked me up at school at 12:00 and we took a trip.
the guy turned out to be a amc/amx restorer. fast forward a little and we came home with the duster,2 4 speeds Kelsey hays disc brake setup , extra inner fender, fenders,ect,ect.
THE DUSTER: The car started life when somebody in new York ordered a very stripped down duster but with a lot of HP!. The car was originally a basin blue 1972 340 4 speed duster, manual steering, manual brakes. the car did have white stripes. The story is that he bought it and drag raced it ,he put traction bars and driveshaft loop in it. one day while driving he was arguing with his girlfriend and ran into a bus!! lol. he badly repaired the left front frame. he painted the sides of the car and put on some weird stripes and he bought a new bumper,hood, and grille. then it sat..... last registered in 1996 in ny.
The body now is very good, NO bondo it came with a fame piece and a quarter drop off.
sorry for the long wait, heres the pics :burnout::burnout:
oh, I forgot, when he was racing it he blew up the 340 and put in a 318
