Gotta Do It - 1973 Duster 340

Lol, I hear ya about the A body. I am NOT in it for the investment or $$ i just like to drive them. I dont even like the restoration part..just give me a car to DRIVE and do routine maintainance on and im good...thats why i like the A's so much. Look good, still IMO Muscle Cars, Perform well.

When I sold the RoadRunner(link to RR its the 2nd one down Ice Man I think was the title B3 Blue 69 RoadRunner)

I got a lot of flack from some guys over at the Moparts board some basicaly went as far as to call me stupid for selling the RoadRunner and getting a 73 A body in its place. Thing was I needed the money to pay off some Bills and the RoadRunner was a "impulse" but at the time I got it and is NOT my "favorite" Mopar to begin with...and I was already $13,000 into the car and it was still not done and I was SICK of sinking $$$ into it!

but that said I actually got a great deal on the Dart Sport 340..a painted(like yours about a 10 footer not a pro job but VERY passable) rust free original 340 engine 727 tranny new legendary interior(still needs a headliner though as they were not being made at time of restoration) Only thing I did was add the wheels it currently has, the go wing, and the stripes. Other than that its a great car and I got it for $4500...thats $300 more than I bought the roadrunner for that I subsequently had to sink $10,000 into to look decent...this I have probably $5400 into it as it sits now and it runs and is basicaly "done" I really like the Dart BETTER than the RoadRunner..it drives better, is almost just as fast(the RR had more cam and gear in it), definately stops better with the disc brakes than the 4 wheel NON power drums on the RR. and all I have to do on it is basic maintainance..in other words I have about 1/3 rd wrapped up in the Dart Sport for the same or better driving car as the RoadRunner was...and I don't miss that RoadRunner in the least!
