And so it begins…

Here I hope to chronicle my adventures with my latest toy. I bought this baby on January 2nd, 2008 from a 3rd party living in Arizona selling it on Craigslist for someone from Illinois. What’s in it? Gosh, I don’t really know yet. The guy selling it said it does about 10.9 in the quarter mile. We’ll see about that!

It’s got a bunch of doodads and doohickeys populated around the car. I hope to learn more about them as time goes by. I have not raced this car yet – the first step is to go down to the Arizona MVD to get the title transferred to my name. I am also hunting around for some sort of insurance to cover this sleeping dragon.

Here are some pictures in the meantime! (click on them for larger ones)

Love those Dusters. I like the ’73 and up because of the raised hood, and tailights. Had a 73 with the same green shade, but no Black. Gathering parts now for another A-body build. Looking for a Demon or 73-up Duster. Will have the stripes on the side w/340. One thing tho, You need more pictures posted!

You’re right, I do need to pull the Duster out of the garage and take more pictures. I also need to clean the car up – it’s pretty dirty. I think there’s even an old wasp nest inside the hood scoop. The Plymouth paint code for that green color is FJ5 (Lime Light Green).
