Got em both in one shot... can you have 2 daily drivers?

Well, dang. Nevermind the boy.... too bad I'm not looking.

After further discussions with Mr Grumpypants, I think it's best we left it in his back yard. Turns out it was a 73 Duster he bought out of a junkyard, put a dart sport nose on it and has a 76 Dart title and vin he was going to sell with it.....

Just a bit to far from the east coast..... but thanks!

BTW - said roller does not need to have paint, nor has to be all one shade of primer.

As some of you have seen, my son Josh, rolled his 73 Dart Sport into a ditch. The only panel to survive is the trunk lid. We are in the painful process of removing the interior, driveline and suspension. Josh's search for a roller has begun. Searching for a Duster/Dart Sport, Scamp in the 1970...

Honestly don't know. Josh ordered them off ebay. I can have him look at his history.

Yep. Told him I had 65ft of winch line and two 30ft recovery ropes, so I wouldn't have to back but about halfway to it. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

Welp.... No Fred 2.0 today. Dude says they got 4-5 inches of snow into friday morning, so he can't drag it the 300ft up out of his yard. Doesn't want me driving thru his yard to grab it with my recovery rope. Knowing I was coming, I don't know why he didn't drag it up to his driveway Wednesday...

Really hope so. Older dude with 2 Dusters, 2 Darts and this one he is selling because it's a Duster-Sport hybrid he started building but knows he'll never finish. Most of the trim is there and we agreed on well under $2k if we like it enough when we get there, because he wants to help the kid...

Fred 2.0 might be coming home this coming weekend, pending weather. 5 hr run one way from northern MD, heading south-ish. Does NOT need floors, frame, roof, fenders, doors. We shall see.....

While Josh was at school today, I put some oil in Fred , fired him up and limped into the garage so Josh can start the harvesting of savables. It is damn hard to look at. Keeping a tarp over it so my wife doesn't have to see it everytime she opens the door. Just every 3rd time.

I wasn't sold on the idea at first, but ended up liking them and the idea of a daytime running light.

So much to be thankful for. Enjoy, all!!!!

Agreed Joe. 10 hrs one way isn't such the issue as his funds are at this time.
