Here are some pics of my 1975 Duster. My dad gave me this car when I was 2yrs old and it's traveled with me wherever I've gone. (I'm 26 now) I think this car is the reason for my A-body obsession! it's always been stored inside since recently.. I will be moving it from the weeds in the next couple weeks. There is plywood underneath it so nothing grew up under it, but it was the only place I could keep it well I moved. This car is next on my list after the Swinger is done. My dad has owned the car since 1980 and bought it off the guy who parked it from a minor accident. (He smashed the back end up downshifting in the rain)

Anyways I thought I'd share a picture of it... I bet it's the only highly optioned V8 3 speed standard on the column car out there!! Unfortunately the last owner hacked a hole in the floor and put a four speed in it. I do have the linkages and the column is still in it. It's still wearing its original paint and has 36,000 miles on the odometer if I remember correctly

It will be in my driveway this weekend and soaked in oil again.





 
Coolness... Would get more attention, moved to the restoration's forum . Moderator's,need some sweet FABO love here.....
 
Thanks guys! It is a cool car with some neat options! It will be a couple years before I tear into it and bring it back to original. I wish I could keep the original paint but the passenger rear quarter is cut open like a tin can and the trunk lid is long gone!
 
Whats under the hood of this one? Hope you plan to restore it to factory looks and such,......and for that not a bad start!

Thanks! The original 318 and it runs like a top! The last time it ran my dad did burnouts up and down the road with it, haha. Yes it will go right back to original!

Has anyone ever seen the hood stripes? I'm not sure if it's original or someone put them on when it was new.
