I'll give you a rundown of what I know about this car at the moment. I know alot about it but I am sure I will leave lots out. The owner ( a good friend of mine ) is thinking of selling it. I wish I had the cash..... OK , it's a 1970 Duster , origional 318 car. Origionall PANTHER PINK!! The fender tag is missing, but as you will be able to see from the pictures I have posted at photobucket under the undercoating you can see the orig colour. It has alot done to it. The problem is, no one has ever finished it. It has been resold several times and has never been finished. So there is alot of stuff in this car that we really have no idea what it is. Like pistons, my friend assembled the engine with all the parts he was given, but we don't know what they are ? Startin off it's a 440 , We know it is a solid lifter cam , with approx .550 lift. No idea what make. It has 906 heads, no idea what may be done to them. It has crane adjustable rocker arms. Hooker fenderwell headers, MSD box . 7al I believe. Hurst 1/4 stick. Weld wheels. It has a very small convertor, about a 9 inch , I know it's alot smaller than my 10 inch , but no idea of the make. We don't know what's done to the trans, but we do not believe anything ?It has a narrowed Ford 9 inch in it , along with Strange axles, and we were told it had 4:57's with a spool. It also has had extensive suspension work as you can see from the pics. I will add more to this post as I hear it from my buddy. The car is pretty well all there , it just needs alot of TLC, it could be a wicked car for someone. We were wondering what approx this would be worth? We are not sure if it is headed for ebay or he is just going to try to sell it privately. Check out the pictures , it is sweet! Dave.

No sugar coating here.

I'll chime in here and say it's a 5-9K car.

The nice is it's a panther pink 70 Duster.

Bad:
The rear suspension on that car is not very well designed or thought out IMHO. I see some problems that would have to be corrected.
Fenderwell headers

The car is a tweener, not a full on race car and not a street restorable piece. Leaves it in limbo. Hard to tell what's up with the cage.

I passed on a Demon not long ago that was a very nice car, ladder bar, 500" roller, all the right stuff, ran low 10's on the motor and was put together correctly for $9200. I think this car has at least 2-3K in work to get it to the point of the car I passed on, primarily in the rear suspension. Yes I was a stupid dumbass to pass on the Demon.
