Next Phase of my Mopar Life
Thanks everyone for the kind words. This car kinda takes away some of the sting of losing the Dart. I owned that car for 17 years and it will always bring a smile to my face when I remember the times that were had in her.
My first car was a 1971 Duster 318 3spd that I bought from my parents when I turned 16. This car is what I always dreamed that car could be. Bright red, black bucket seats and stripes. Sixteen year old me would be very happy too!
I drove the car home the last 50 miles last night and it has some small projects that I need to correct, but overall it's a very solid car. We put it up on a lift at the seller's shop and it was very clean underneath. I have many future plans for it but I'll probably just drive it this summer and get to know the car before I start tearing into it next winter. Plans include a vinyl top (need to find some trim pieces), a rallye grille (might do that this summer) and a four speed transmission.
Here are some pics from yesterday.
