Sidepipes or not?

Back in the mid-90's I bought some 4 piston brake parts from a local whom had a '68 Notch 383 Barracuda .
The car was largely original ( Q5 Turquoise ! ) , with the only mods being Appliance Wheels (14x6" front , 14x8" rear ) and functional Doug's side pipes .
What made those sweet pipes even sweeter was that they were the "illegal" ones ; they were equipped with a slide-lever to open 'em to , well , open exhaust .

Yes , he was keeping the pipes and Appliance wheels intact for the restoration :cheers:.

I've always wanted to build a '73 Duster with Ansen Sprints , Doug's side pipes (or a good equal ) , chromed Direct Connection valve covers , vintage Sun-Pro tach and other vintage equipment .
Too bad the old B.F. Goodrich thin-line raised white letter radials aren't being reproduced ( they look much cleaner than the bold-character versions ) ; I'd also like to see late 70's / early 80's Good Year Wingfoot tyres reproduced ...
