Obviously your son doesn't want the car bad enough. My dad (NOT a car guy in the slightest) bought me my '70 Duster with stock 318/904 and that was that. After that point I had to purchase all of the parts needed to fix it up myself which luckily wasn't that much. I personally am more into the mechanical aspects of the car and I rebuilt the front suspension, redid the brakes, removed the engine and rebuilt the top end when the stock timing set gave out, and right now I'm saving up for a dual exhaust system and newer 4-bbl. carb/intake setup. I've probably put over $2000 into this car, and we bought it for $3000. My dad regrets buying it for me and keeps pushing me to sell it and buy something newer and more reliable but I tell him that's not going to happen for a loooong time. I have big plans for this car (a hot 360 Magnum w/4- or 5-speed manual and a road-race chassis setup) and I don't plan on getting rid of it at least until that's done. I also plan on buying more Mopars down the road, most likely a C-body (hopefully an old Chrysler or Imperial) and an E-body (Barracuda for sure). People either have the hot-rod bug or they don't; in fact, getting a car was what got me off of (for the most part) computers and video games.
