An idiot killed my baby. Need advice.

Great news!
Troy, a fellow member of my Mopar club, Wine Country Mopars, generously gave me his 1971 Duster roller-possible-runner for $500 and a case of beer! Slant 6 base model, stock, been sitting a while.
I trailered her home last night. She's certainly rough and needs some prepping before I begin the process of swapping over everything from the '73 but it's a start and I'm feeling really positive and hopeful again. View attachment 1715377724

I have to say - the Mopar community has got to be one of the best overall groups out there. So much kindness and generosity.

Yea, a very nice score for sure, your luck has changed my friend!
