72 Duster: You can lead a horse to water, but...
1972 Gold Duster. 225 slant sick, a 3 speed manual, A/C and 9 inch drum brakes.
BIL was 22 and lived out of state. He also had zero experience with cars. (I'll call him Lipshitz just to protect the "innocent")
$1500 for the car, delivered to my house. I had a bunch of parts stockpiled from years of Junkyard hunting. Big bolt pattern front discs, a B body 8 3/4 axle, a 73 V8 K member, a good 904 and several other parts. The car didn't run and had some rust. The clutch and brake pedals were super stiff....essentially rusted solid.
I heard the enthusiasm in his voice and was encouraged to pour time and effort into this project. He made plans to come out every couple of months to join in.
