Am I the only one?
Is this the kind of old-school you're thinking of?
6-71 Blown 340 '73 Duster, with a pair of 750 Carter AVS Carbs on top (now has a pair of 850 Thermoquads).
Manual Shift 727, Forward Pattern, with a Cuda/Challenger Console & Slapstik Shifter
8.75" Rear with 4.10's and a Spool. 29x14.5-14" Tires on the Rear, 195/70/14's on the Front, Keystone Klassic wheels. Sway Bar, 11.75" Rotors on the Front with FMJ Spindles and Coilovers (Coilovers were installed in the early 80's)
All of the mods, except for the Blower were done in the late 70's - early 80's, when my dad still owned the car. I put the Blower on this year (over Easter Weekend).
I don't need it to handle like a brand new car. As long as I keep the rear tires planted on take-off, cornering (hard cornering at that) and the fronts planted on braking, I'm good. Don't need an Overdrive either, even with the 4.10's. I use it as a Daily Driver in the summer, and I prefer it over a new vehicle.
