Mission accomplished, 43 years later!

Wonderful story! Congrats on being retired. A lot of us are living vicariously through you and hope to do the same thing some day. Recapturing our youth with the cars we drive today. Fantastic, you did it!!! I'll be watching for your car, I live on the north side of the cities in Blaine. Keep on cruzin'.
Thanks, Rhonda. One of the unexpected upsides of my road trip was the folks I met along the way. On every single fuel stop, someone would come up to me and inquire about the car or share their Duster story. I wasn't looking to attract attention to myself or the car. I was just trying to make it to my destination. Regardless, I enjoyed hearing their stories and felt a kinship with all the Mopar people out there.
