Just starting the thread, but have had the car for a little over 4 years. So will be a few posts to bring up to date.
End of August 2008
We were looking for a first car for my son. He saw the Duster for sale and wanted to check it out. So we did. Slant 6 with 73,578 miles. It ran good, but had a broken torsion bar, so we could not drive it. After looking it over, I knew it would take a good bit work. The obvious was replace the T-bar (seller already had a replacement, just hadnt changed it), lower rear quarters, patch the floor pans. Anyway, I bought it. I forget the exact amount I ended up paying so Ill just say too much .
