Nova 350 vs Duster 340

Yeah, I've got a 69 Chevelle SS in the garage now and restored it 12 yrs. ago. I could care less about it now because they are a dime a dozen. I never owned a Chevy and hadn't any past history with one. Bought it because my neighbor was going thru a divorce and Chevy parts are cheep. On the other hand, I borrowed my brothers 72 Duster 340 4-speed on the last day of high school in 73. I ended up wrecking it doing burn outs. Lucky for me he didn't kick my *** that day but it killed my piggy bank. A year later I was looking to buy a Yellow 71 340 3-speed Demon and my dad talked me out of it. This brings me to present day, I'm restoring a 72 H code Demon 4-speed poly gold car. Guess what, it's going to yellow with black stripes like the one I passed on years ago. I'm doing a total restoration, about half in AMD new sheet metal. I'm building it for me and don't care about keeping it original, it will be more like the one that I would have ordered new in 72, if I had the money. Many times it comes down to past history as to the cars one likes.
