YOUNG GUNS! Sign In and WIN

this sounds like a good idea to me, well ill be 16 on december 13th 2009. i was always interested in cars for as long as i could talk. I was first hooked on mopars the first time i took a ride in my uncles 70 rr 383 TF. my whole family is loyal to mopar, on my moms side and my dads side. my uncle on my moms side had a 67 camaro but traded it in for a 74 cuda, my uncle on my dads side his first car was a 70 340 duster. my dads first car that he bought was also a 70 340 duster. both my dad and uncle turned their dusters into strip cars, but are in the process of converting them back to street use. I guess it could be said that my family pretty much influenced me into mopars, ha ha.

my first car was purchased by myself, all by myself. its a 74 duster i purchased off of ebay in june of 2008. I was 14 at the time i bought it. Its a 74, gold duster car. " little old lady special " with only 49159 1/10's when it was loaded on the trailer. the best thing about the car is the interior. even though its a 198 slant 6, it had been special equipped with a console and bucket seats. it has a 7.25 rearend with 2.76 gears. the original color is B-1 powder blue, which it still is and always will be, it also has a black canopy roof that is mint condition. the plans for the dust include a big block 440 magnum with stealth heads, a edelbrock performer intake, a holley 4160, and 10.75 to 1 compression. a transpack will follow up in the trans, a 727 t-f with a 8.75 rear end with a 3.55 suregrip. keystone klassics are on it now, with firestone firehawk indy 500s. a duster hood scopp was put on, with a 70 go-wing. a 340 wedge sticker sits on the hood and a "duster 340" decal fills in the tail light panel. giving it the appearence of a 340 car, but in all reality being a big block a bod.

all my friends where i go to school drive gm's , such as an elcamino 305, a 85 chevy 350, and so on. I was always attracted to the mopar body styles, the sounds, everything about them.

so to wrap it up, thats my story i always liked mopars and always will. i like the idea of the contest too, but i wont officially be a young gun til im 16, but i might as well get started here now ha ha. ill upload some pics later on, im at school right now, and maybe add some more details too...

ok i finally found some time to add some info and email my entry. pictures can be found at this link, hopefully it works...

i just kinda threw some pics in there in some random order, so it is what it is and a lot got duplicated some how?

so any ways, it seems as though almost everyone i go to shcool with hates on my car... nicknames were given to it like cruster, and ruster. ( most of the haters are gm boys ) but oh well, all you can do is race em and win i guess lol. thats about all i got to say. id like to thank fabo, and expecially cudachick. as well as all the people who contribute to the cause. i dont know where i would be know without the help of the great members here. - tom wirth - 74slnt6
