I admit to being an old guy, I try not to live in the Mopar world of the 90s, but fact is that supply of decent projects priced "correctly" in the market, keeps getting smaller and smaller. Like already said,decent Duster projects have really gotten higher and scarcer in the last 5-6 years for sure. And then there is the mentality of "I know what I have and the price ain't coming down!" at least around here.
Here in the South, out sheet metal outlives our engines. Good in a way, till you realize 99% of 60 year old cars have rust somewhere!!! And like said, finding a GOOD running engine is WAY harder than it used to be just a few years ago, and the good ones are more costly. Everything costs more!
Patience is always a key. Always be on the look. Always spend time making friends in the hobby. Find friends that are not into big blocks IF that is what you seek. Gotta have a Duster, find friends that are die hard B body guys!!
When I am looking hard for an X, I never stumble on it. Then when I care less, there they are and cheap enough!!! Patience! :thumbsup: :BangHead:
