So it begins, '71 Duster 340 TX9

People did what they had to, I bought a 70 cuda, 340 4-speed for parts a few years ago, complete car.
Bought it off my grandpas neighbor, so I go the complete story.
He bought it in 1976 in PA and drove it to WV and parked it.
It was rusted back then, when I tore it apart, the inner fenders were pop-rivited in. Obviously changed, living in the rust belt has its own challenges.

My uncle bought a new 1970 Duster, real pretty car blue with a blue interior, in 1974 with 40,000 miles on it, he drove it to the junk-yard, the rear springs went thru the trunk.

It is a wonder any old cars survived.
