1970 duster 340 4spd TIME CAPSULE!
About 6 years ago I was engaged and looking for a car to build for our wedding. I browsed craigslist, other advertisements and nocked on doors.
Half the fun is finding "the car" meeting new people and hearing there stories.
I knew about this duster for some time ( driving past it every other week) One day back in 2008 I noticed the owner of this duster outside washing his cavalier. I pulled a U-turn and hopped out to talk to him.
I introduced myself, and asked if the duster might be something he would sell.
He said " no, I will restore it one day. I have owned it since new"
He did allow me to look the car over and we shared stories. A nice car, 340 4 Spd. Sitting since the 80's. And currently rested in a carport with all 4 deflated tires.
Before I left, I told the man that if it is still here in 5 -10 years, you can bet I will knock on your door again.
He chuckled and said "ok"
