Apologize if i'm stepping on the thread, but the story of the green duster in my earlier post was that we went to look at it in 1974 in Maryland. The original owner had it garage kept w/30k mi for $1500. He said that he had built it up over the first few years, saved everything, but was now being transferred to California. The car looked stock and he had removed everything with the intention of driving it out west. With two small children & the wife, he thought he see what he could get for it before they moved. My Bud offered $1000. Not real happy, he took his # and said i'll get back to you. In the meantime he was ready to make a deal on a 69 383/auto Dart GTS that had 70k and some rust when the guy called and said i'm ready to make a deal. Final price ended at $1050 and he would give everything that went with the car. No brainer we went to pick it up and with it came a Tarantula intake, 750DP, Accel dual point, Headers, alum. valve covers and a 4.10 chunk. Goldmine. He did tell us the engine still had the .471/.474 hemi grind cam in it. 3 wks later, with only the 3.23 open gear and a oil change that car went 14.01 @ 100.3. I was hooked at that point. DA was probably about 700ft, but how awesome is nothing but a cam could put that car into those numbers.

P.S i'm really not A.J :poke:
