There’s not a lot of people restoring the tail end era of the A bodies unless it’s for sentimental reasons. Therefore the cash value of the ‘heavy/safety’ bits isn’t high. When you do take off one of the bumper shock absorbers, can you weigh it and let us know the weight of it?

That makes sense. I know the steel metal brace behind the front of a Duster bumper is a little over 41lbs. The rear bumper steel brace must be a similar weight? Either fabbing a smaller brace or just using a cutting disc to eliminate the 18’’ of steel brace that extends out from each end of...

Went for a 227 mile drive today… Scamp runs well!

Nice find! What colour is the Duster and what brand of RWL tires are those and how old are they?

A lot of sales hype for some garden variety A bodies.

X2!

You started off with ‘two demons in a junkyard’ which usually means the cars are missing major components. No mention of how long they have been in the junkyard either. Also no mention of if they have drivetrains nor what the drivetrains were/are. We are not fortune tellers so suggesting the...

With all the cars that have been sprayed plum crazy over the years I would think it’s one of the more common colours now. Considering it was only offered for two years back in the 70’s there are probably more plum crazy cars rolling around now than ever came out of the factory during those two...

Of course those spark plug wire holders are factory! At one point or another, pretty well every inanimate object comes out of a factory.

That brutal. He clearly doesn’t give a damn about anyone else’s property. I care for my tools and when I borrow my neighbours I take extra care making sure it’s not thrashed. I’m borrowing my neighbours spare tire from his Coronet right now. My spare tire is on the passenger side as I...

Buying a Scout now will likely now cost more compared to a few years ago. Hagerty routinely does articles about older vehicles they receive more insurance quotes on. They recently did one a International Scouts. They are becoming trendy.

I remember have the exact same photo (and feeling) 15 years ago! Looks great!!

Were you able to snap a picture of the VIN on the dash to get an idea of the engine size it was born with?

Wow, the QC on on that Speedmaster I take is brutal! Like it was made on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon. Standards are pretty low these days across the board. Look at body shops and the work they do. So many cars rolling around with slightly different colour hue body panel(s) compared...

Always exciting when car parts arrive even though you know exactly what is coming……

Nice 360 Duster!! One built for the Canadian market too so even rarer! What’s the history on it? How long have you had it? Also you appear to have ‘76 (amber) marker light lenses instead of the clear lenses that come on the ‘73 to ‘75 models. Looks like the black hood stripe option was...

It would be helpful if the OP indicated what size engine is claimed to be orignal to the car? Slant 6? 273? 318? 340?

Since you’re asking the question I suspect you‘re looking for confirmation the engine wasn’t originally in the car when the car rolled off the production line. The seller is likely trying to convince you otherwise? Probably asking for a little extra $ by claiming the engine is orignal to the...

Yeah eliminating the mess is worth it! LAYSON'S RESTORATIONS - DODGE, CHRYSLER, PLYMOUTH RESTORATION PARTS TM-07886

Yeah I don’t want to forget to plug the hole before I fill it with fresh fluid. Tranny fluid isn’t cheap these days!!

Replacing the lousy stock transmission pan with one that has a drain plug. Never again will I have to deal with the mess of changing the fluid on a pan without a drain! I’ve heard of cost cutting and Chrysler not installing drain plugs on the pans must have saved them a lot of $$ over the...
