Gauging interest in my 1970 duster survivor

Nice looking car.

I was in a similar situation. I bought a 35K mile 71 Swinger. I got the window sticker, bill of sale, build sheet, some kind of inspection sheet, yada yada. Body was mint, interior was neat as a pin. I got it to hot rod, but was conflicted about the whole thing since it was such a nicely preserved car.

I decided to hot rod it anyway, but, I kept the trim on the side, and the @#!! vinyl roof. I left the interior alone other than non-permanently mounting some new gauges.

My plan basically ended up being that I was going to do the car like I wanted, but if there was ever a casting call for a 70s movie, all I'd have to do would be throw some rally wheels or steelies on it and it would look period correct (enough). The way I treat it, it will probably be preserved for a long long time.

I do wish I had saved the original 318 and trans, but, there's only so much room in the garage for something that would sit around till the kids have to get rid of it.

Of course, now I want to build it to go faster still, but that requires a roll bar and I'm once again in conflict. Probably going to get something else to go quicker than 11.49.

I'm very happy with the car.

My experience and the fact that these cars aren't worth very much right now, makes me say I think you should do what you want with your Duster.
