    71 Twister up for adoption

    Update. The US Air Force sent me a letter 2 weeks ago telling me to get my stuff off of their property by 7 March 2022. I worked for the AF for 42 years…not too happy to have this happen after living here for 28 years. I no longer have a place to park my car and I’ve decided to sell. I’ve...

    71 Twister up for adoption

    I can’t help but wonder if the problem wasn’t caused by the fact that I kept it under a car cover that was moist underneath much of the time. I went thru at least 3 different covers and each did the same thing. The trees in my yard drop a lot of junk and a cover is a necessity. I now have it...

    71 Twister up for adoption

    You car looks good. I had a similar deal in 2012 … backyard job by a guy who painted professionally during the day. I was quite happy with the job he did. Something went wrong however and the paint on my hood started to bubble in just a few months. Over the next 10 years…small places the...

    71 Twister up for adoption

    I live in the FL panhandle and now have 3 estimates and they have all been high. In fact - one place said they wouldn’t give me an estimate until they stripped it down to bare metal. The $31K estimate that I got this week had caveats saying it could go higher. At least the last estimate...

    71 Twister up for adoption

    I wish you were right but I’m expecting it to appraise for a lot less than that.

    71 Twister up for adoption

    The car is a 318 with 3 speed manual. The original paint option was gone in 1990 when I had it repainted. I had it repainted again in 2012. Don’t know why but the paint job is failing and it needs to be stripped and repainted before it rusts. Sad…it looks great from a distance but clearly...

    71 Twister up for adoption

    I bought my 71 Twister when I was 19 and it has remained a part of my family. However - I just got a $31K estimate for a “paint job”. Also - I may be losing my covered parking spot soon and I don’t want to go back to storing my car under a cover. The engine is running well but I have a long...

    Can someone help me find a windshield gasket please?

    I'm in the same boat trying to find window gaskets for a '71 Duster. One of the folks I called told me there had been a fire at the factory where the gaskets are make. No idea if that's correct - but something like that might explain the shortage. I was told that one of them (front or back)...
