Old School was the plan from the beginning. My whole '74 project (even before I towed it home) was influenced by my Dad's '73 340 Duster, the Gold one. Which he ended up giving to me anyway. (Fun car to drive by the way :D ) I have fond memories of riding in that car as a kid (before he parked it for almost 2 decades :prayer: ) The '73 was the car that started my love for A-Bodies.
The '74 eventually turned into its own car/project once I got a taste of the modifying bug :D Drove it around as a stripeless 340 powered car for years and embarrassed a lot of people. I can't say it was a Sleeper, with a nasty 340, 2.5" Duals, Glasspacks & 340 Tips/Resonators it definitely made its presence known :D
