    A body book?

    My son and I were discussing our Duster restorations after watching the latest GYC episode the other night, and he was lamenting the fact that Mark seems to mainly concentrate on E and B body cars, but very few A bodies (by his own explanation, they aren't worth restoring due to resale value)...

    Kinda hokey...

    Just placed my first Classic Industries order. I was rather pleased with myself that I was able to take advantage of the Free Shipping ($99.00+) feature as shipping was nearly $20.00 without it. But not really happy to see a $3.95 "insurance fee" got tacked on to the bottom line of the invoice...

    'Splain this to me, Lucy.

    OK, just got done decoding my '72 Duster 340 fender ID tag. Everything matches from what I can see, except one thing...the bottom row, far left set of digits is "E55", which decodes as "340 cid, 4 barrel V8 275 HP" Now, I was always under the impression that the '72 motors were 8.5:1...

    Car ID

    How would one go about finding how many cars were produced in a particular model/configuration for any given year? I have the VIN, fender tag, and (somewhat legible and partially complete) build sheet. Since it's a factory '72 340 4 speed in a fairly unusual color (Winchester Gray/Gunmetal), I'm...

    Stock Tire Size, '72 Duster 340

    Can anyone tell me what the factory stock tire size and ratings were for a '72 Duster 340 (VS29)? With the Rallye wheels.

    Finding engine numbers info

    I'm positive that the engine that came from the factory in my '72 Duster is not the original, as the block casting date was 10-69 and all the accessories (carb, water pump, radiator, intake) are all matching the engine casting date. How would I go about finding what engine and accessories came...

    Tough questions

    OK, time to ask the tough questions. Even though the answers may not be what I want to hear. 1) Is there generally a higher value assigned to a vintage Mopar restored to as close as original as possible as opposed to some tastefully done hop-up mods (mostly engine related) 2) How important is...

    Parts value?

    OK; I'm just asking for a few 'ballparks' here, based on general knowledge. I won't hold anyone responsible for their figures, but please no WAG's.. (Wild-***-Guesses) Just trying to get a grip on what I've got. '69 340-disassembled. I am keeping the forged crank but have the cast crank out of...

    Rockin' Restorations....what tunes shift YOUR gears?

    A while back someone did a thread about cruisin' music, what tunes you groove to while driving, hanging out, etc with your Mopar ride. This one's a bit different. What tunes do you choose when wrenching on the Ol' Mopar? When your personal Fuel Needle is bouncing off "E", which tunes can light...

    HELP!!!Condensation is ruining my life!!!!!!!!

    Here in the Land Of Lincoln, spring is in the air, and with it, moisture. Everything in my garage is covered with moisture. There are beads of water standing on the floor...and that's with the door open all day and fans running. Naturally, everything unpainted is covered with rust like a mossy...
