Musings: Restoration = Money loss! (ALWAYS)

That is a nice looking duster.

From the pics, it looks like it didn't need anything.

Like stated previously- a swap meet set of rallye wheels (or jy, or cl, or whatever cost less than $150 total), clean up under the hood, and put a $5000 sign in the window.

I was really looking for either a Duster or a 67-69 Barracuda, but couldn't find a good deal on either with good quarters and cowl in over a year of looking.

I passed on a Petty blue manual trans 72 6 cyl Duster for $3500, and a 318 a/c 65000 mile original 73 for $6500.
I liked both cars a lot, but just couldn't see either as a bargain. I figured each was probably top dollar for what it was, and I just don't like "not getting a GREAT deal".

Green has it's own set of issues as well, but I'll save that for later :)
