    Picked up a gas tank for the car today. I know I will have to remove the one that is currently in the car because the fuels has been aging since 1982. Found a tank on craigslist and figured for $80 I could easily just swap them out, rather than worrying cleaning the existing one and re lining...

    1970 duster 340 4spd TIME CAPSULE!

    Because everyone feels like they have to share there thoughts on if it was a good deal or not, and out of respect to the previous owner not to hear that I paid too much, or too little or what have you, I don't feel it right to publicly disclose the price. I bought the car to keep. And she did...

    I think it was a couple factors... They only wanted to insure one car and the other car was better on fuel. Something along those lines. I will have to ask the owner again.

    Paint is really faded after the water dried. The grill, turn signal lenses and tail lights are the nicest I have ever seen. I'm happy with how it's turned out. Next, I will hook up a jerry can and try and fire her up.
