I'm new
Hi, I'm Paul. My Great aunt had a 73 Duster In the garage I would keep clean for her before she passed and and 7 years passed I finally was able to get the car I fell in love with 20 years ago when I first seen it. The last time the car was on the road was 91 or 93 the tag says 99 but she would keep it registered in case but she had stopped driving years earlier. her and my great uncle had bought it new in 73, and it was rarely driven he prefered to walk and she prefered her beetle. It sat for decades untouched up in the Hollywood hills in Los Angeles. And it was a hell of an adventure pulling it from the narrow drive we couldn't get a truck in and the narrow streets we could barley pull a trailer on but we pulled it and it's in it's new home in Tucson AZ. It has some dents and dings mainly from my aunt hitting her house backing in and out but in amazing shape, it has the slant six. It may be 6 months to go through things and replace the little things to get it started for the first time. The goal is to get it running and road worth in the next year and enjoy it as is, than slowly find and build a nice v8 and than all the needed upgrades to make it a true muscle car. Will be slow to do but I love this car and have to do it! I have stalked this forum for a long while day dreaming about fixing this car! And the time is now! I'm sure I'm gonna have a world of questions and most of them will be stupid to most people but I'm in the right place for answers! Thanks guys and look forward to participating,
