Hi All

New here and lookin' for a Mopar!

I am undecided as to whether I will buy a driver or pick up a project car. I guess it depends on what I can find.

Prefer a LS23P9 (69 GTS 340) - 4 speed, maybe Automatic
or a VS29H0/1 (70/71 Duster 340) - 4 speed, maybe automatic
LM29H0/1 (70/71 Demon) - 4 speed, maybe automatic
in either driving condition or missing engine/trans, etc... project shape

I intend to go to Carlisle and maybe the Nats in Ohio this year but I might find something before then.

Any help would be appreciated as many of you are well connected and may see cars I miss!
Many eyes are better than my single pair.

Where you located Pete
 
Looks to all be there and you have to start somewhere.
 
Havn't added up all the bills yet but it'll be around the 16k mark
without the paint.
Totally went thru the body.
No rust
New interior
Fresh 440/727 (you can talk to builder at Zelmore's)
Ford 9" havn't decided on ratio
Mini tubbed or not???
1/2" stainless fuel line to braided hose
New carb
New rad
New fuel cell
Line-loc at rear for complete seal
Trunk mount battery
Perfect glass with spare

I'm a real slow typer so a whole mess of other stuff the goes with
a build of this kind.
I did not build it to be a show car. I built it to be a bomb proof
example of a BB Duster. I even reconditioned a set of stock heads
until the 440Source ones have been out for a while. The 440 should
do between 450 and 500 HP with the stock heads on it. Once the
new heads go on they will work with the comp cam, stock bottom,
440 source valve train, and KB .30 overs for a reliable combo
on the street or strip.

It's one of those deals where Im not even sure that I want to sell...
Always wanted a Cuda so that's kinda the direction I'm headed.

Long story longer as I imagine 99.9% of the people on this forum
will agree...........
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT FOR IT????????????

I need to lie down.

Heres some of the mock-up pics before disassembly
and final fitting.
