10's on $5,000 ?

I think the $4,000 duster completely defeats the whole purpose here... Especially when you already have two dusters...
Generic goal was to buy a car and try and go 10.9's for 5k. If I buy a Duster with the drive train already in it, and already gutted, wouldn't that be smart money??

I think it's a Great plan.
And the only plan that will get him close to his goal.

Are you sure that it is a 440?
I cannot be sure, I haven't seen the car. It's 6 hours from me.
I agree, I like it too. What everyone seems to be forgetting is, he can sell "what's left" for parts if he has to transfer everything to one of his other Dusters. That will get some of his money back and level the playing field some.
If I buy the Duster, I would be disappointed in parting it out. The goal would be to put the thing on the road. IF this car had a title, I'd even be more aggressive in making it mine.
