I picked up an old '70 Duster race car this weekend for $2500. The intention is to pull out the motor/trans and rearend and swap into my '75 Duster (pictured). History on the car, the owner built this car in early 2000 with a .030 383 (Keith Black pistons, ported factory heads, custom ground crane hydraulic cam, Edelebrock TM6 and a 750 DaVinci carb), rebuilt 727, reverse manual valve body/3500 stall converter and a rebuilt 8 3/4 with 5.13 gears (changing these for 3.91-4.10) for an 1/8 mile car. The car made 12-15 passes and the owner started having health issues. Car sat outside, which accounts for how it looks, but he started it ~1 month, let it warm up and put the trans in gear. I've seen it run (Sounds NICE) and the motor has 80 lbs. oil pressure cold, no smoke and the trans goes into reverse and forward. Bought it with a bill of sale and don't have room, so I'll probably sell it as a roller (8.25 rearend) or include my 318/904 combo with it. Quarters are bad, but has nice floors and fenders. Is there any way to find out what this car was born with if the data plate is gone? Hopefully, the group sees more potential than my wife did, lol.
