73 Duster
Well last weekend I traded my 64 Barracuda to another FABO member (ajones19802) for his 73 Duster.

It's a very nice Duster, orange with black 340 stripes.
Black interior, with BMW bucket seats and a wood console.
It has a good condition 225 slant 6 in it, auto trans.
I have a 70 mile/day commute, and the plan is to make this thing my 100% reliable daily driver.
Need to get a new set of tires on her right away.
Trying to find a cool set of 14" small bolt pattern rims, and to go up quite a bit on tire size.
Brakes are making some interesting noises when stopping, going to pull em apart pretty soon. Probably do a disc conversion up front.
Need to check out the front end as well, some interesting noises coming from it after putting some miles on her.
The six runs excellent, got a 2bbl Super Six setup. Has a couple leaks I'll be looking into soon. I think I'm gonna put some split 3->1 headers on her, dual pipes to make it a little louder. Need to hook up the A/C Compressor too.
Any tips on tightening up the window rails? I'd like to get the windows sealing a little better to cut out wind noise on the freeway.
Anyways, thats about it for now. I'll update this thread as I make upgrades and changes. I'm really stoked on the car, it's in killer shape and is an excellent starting point to build a killer DD.
Heres some pics from the previous owner, I'll take some new ones soon, but nothings changed since these.
I also installed a set of 7" HID Conversions from the company I work for (Electrosport Industries, www.electrosport.com).
Heres the pics of the light upgrade:
