Most all know I've been a Mopar guy decades and etc. AND I value good FABO opinions. So here is the question.

I have had a bunch of 70-2 Dusters, and a few 73-6 Dusters. A 75 I admit I am getting toward the end of my car road I still enjoy the builds, wife knows I can bring them back from the dead, so why would I want to buy a done car!?? (I can tell you why and she would say "REALLY!">). Point is I will continue to work on them till I die or just can't anymore. I just always try to be where I can get my $ backout because they always find new homes sooner or later.

I am lookng at 2 projects, a 74 318 Duster fold down back seat, usual rust came out of Ar. into Tx. Pretty complete, decent straight. A repaint many years ago, sun burnt . Motor but Non runner. Typically rough project!

The other car I have not seen in person, but it was brought down here 5 years ago by a Il. Yank., it is 3 hours away thru friggin Houston. It has been painted years ago, one qtr will have to be replaced, ($$$$) beat to heck and bondo. Seller says was runnng 2 years ago, not now. Pic of bottom shows solid undercoat so more likely was done 15+ years ago or so when its was body work probably was done. Looks better than the Duster both will have to be SANDED clean. Missing the oem front seat. Both are lets say $2500 projects paying the sellers a respectable $. More $ to do the Dart.

My question is basically is the beaker a good choice, the 70 Dart if feel is always worth more in the end. Is the fold downback seat these days worth any more? Are "beakers" geting any more lbve these days!? I don't hate them! But they are 318 cars nothing special. I can do them with 318 or even have a 383. All engines will really need builds I bet. Yea I still do all my own work that I can be capable of, inc. body/paint.

No I don't have pics I can get on here. Not smart enough to do the "lets vote on Duster or Dart thing!!!!! Mods?????? Not that smart!

What say yea?
