What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?
I have been a Mopar guy all my life! My first was a 75 Dodge truck with a swapped in 383 out of "I'm not sure what". My brother ended up rolling that one for me. Then it was 80's and 90's Dodge trucks, I still have an 89 150, an 03 1500 and a 10 2500. In 05 when my first child was born, I found myself looking for a 74 Charger SE, as I always loved them (still want to build one someday). While searching for a Charger, I stumbled across a 74 Duster with a 360, 727 and an 8 3/4" rear for sale super cheap locally. I pulled the trigger on it, thinking then that I was settling, because I didn't love the A bodies then, but I sure do now.
It turned out that the 727 was a 904 and the 8 3/4" was an 8 1/4" but that is still the best automotive purchase I have ever made. Even though that Duster was amalgamated with another Rust free Duster (Not a VIN swap), It's still the same car to me! I am an A-body guy forever now with plans for my next car, a 74 Dart Sport with a tunnel rammed 360, 4 speed and big N-50s stuck out the wheel wells! It's a disease, and I'm glad I got it!
