found the perfect car for my son

[diymirage]

in a few more years he will be 16 and so ive been kinda sorta looking a project car for him
(not seriously looking, but you guys know how it goes)


well, i came across this one today and it is perfect
1 its a duster
2 it has a roll cage so if he flips it, he'll be sorta safe
3 it doesnt have an engine so he cant go to fast


1972 Plymouth Duster - auto parts - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

that is probably what will happen...or a 318

im kinda thinking a F body Volare would fit the bill better, but of course im gonna have to let the boy have a say in it (since he will be doing the dirty work anyway)

I think we discussed that one a few months ago, didn't we?

that one would be perfect...if you still have it in a few years

If the body’s decent, the Duster might be a good starting point. Make sure those tail lights are good, as those are pretty rare!

You can swing by and pick up a running slanty\6 for it.

Agreed 6 banger 3 in the tree manual steering and brake bench seat 2 door good fuel mileage lots of fun and good potential for a nice clone

They come and go. I doubt I will still be around in a few years!! lol
I had a "kid" 2 states over that wanted the white slant car last month, but had to had a video of it running. He could not grasp the idea of me not doing videos. LOL
Both cars are great to just drive to the grocery store whatever. I lke them. Not worth so much I worry about them. Insured thru Haverty full stated coverage for what $80 a yr!!!!
