Took my Duster out for the first time - Vid
I have the title, I wouldn't have touched it with out one. Oh yeah, it passed, Everyone there at the inspection station really liked it.
The guy that had the car before me said, "the motor was locked up". I opened the hood and found a beaten 318. I was able to turn the engine over by turning the fan belt. So I figured alright, this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
I bought it and brought it home. I pulled the pan off and found a broken rod and evidence that the engine had been run sometime after the rod had let go.
So easy enough right? Well... one thing led to another. This poor car, any other point in time it would have gone to the junkyard.
So... I lovingly rebuilt the front suspension, did a few upgrades and mods, gave the engine compartment some much needed tlc.
I did the same to a 440/727.
Here it is the day we broke it in, careful... we are running open headers.

Gave it some exhaust...

The rest has been little things, wiring, lights, and body work. Mechanically the car has pretty much been completely rebuilt. All I really have left is the body and interior.
