What's your story with your Mopar?
I had a few V8 Vega's, a 69 Mach 1, a Chevelle, and somewhere I got the itch to own a Duster. I bought a 1970 yellow one advertised as a 340 car for 2K back in 1991. I purchased it, had fun with it and it was time to sell it and then I learned it was not a true H car but a clone. I knew nothing of data tags then and so I researched as best as a I could in the early internet days.
1993 I decide I want another Duster but I am not in a rush, willing to wait until I see a local ad which by then was a needle in a haystack. First newspaper I look at and the ad says, 1971 Duster 340 for sale. I call, have to meet the guy in the backwoods and see a sassy grass all stock looking Duster in need of some restoration. He wants 5k, we haggle and he says he will sell for 3K if he takes his stereo out. I say I am not buying a stereo, and I get the car for 3k. I learn codes on the data tag and it's numbers matching and I learn it's a true FJ6 car, true J81 Go Wing and V24 hood car. I decide I am restoring stock right down to the original dog dish wheels and I also decide I will not be selling this one. All restored and I still have it.
