1970 Duster project in Sweden

Very nice-love it when you can recoup some costs in pursuit of something else. I was at a friend's house last night helping him work on his 1970 Chevy longbed pickup. He bought it as a little bit of a project truck with some known issues. Turns out it has a lot more that needs fixed or changed. But that's not the story...

Directly across from the pickup is a 1969 GTO Ram Air 400. He picked it up in trade with several extra parts. I looked in the trunk and it had 5 complete carburetors and pieces of a sixth one--all Rochester Quadrajets. Two radiators were under some cardboard sheets below the carbs. I told him even if you only sell them as parts carbs, post them up in one of the GM A body forums and you could probably get about $30-50 per carb. Hell, even if he only gets $10 per carb, it's money that he didn't have for parts he wasn't going to use and took up valuable space in his shop. The radiators probably wouldn't be worth anything unless they're a specific part number, but it wouldn't hurt to put them up for sale on the local craigslist. Regardless, it's money toward the larger project of getting it put together so he can drive a cool old car and enjoy it...maybe give it to one of his boys.

I totally agree. It's also really nice to see things go to a new home where some one can make good use of it again. I love that. Cool story, thanks for sharing!
