My beat up rusty Duster was $700.
From a parts car I dumped in a 400/727 & purchased a 8-3/4 to refurbish and a set of 4.88’s. Wheels and tires cams free for helping another MoPar guy out. Summit racing buckets, radiator electrical fan, MSD 6 digital, donated by my son in law. New parts were Autozone radiator. B&M shifter, Lokar cables, brake parts.
The stupid thing is it is a fun barrel full of monkeys. We terrorized the local Blvd. light to light.
