low mile 72 duster
Go Shandango! This is getting exciting! You know we are all shopping vicariously through you. At least you know you have the support of fabo members.
As long we have the instigators in fantasy mode, what's everyone's plan for the car? Here we got a super solid CA car with limited budget.
I would start with basic suspension maintenance;fresh XHD springs, go through the front end and brakes. Then move on to tires and rims. I see lots of small bolt aluminum slots and rallys out there for cheap. Drive it for the summer, maybe 2 summers, take your time. The hard part is done. You have a good solid car. Meanwhile, keep an eye open for a driveline that someone put lots time and money into. There is a nice 340/727 a member has been looking to sell. deals like that come up all the time. A few years down the line, take it apart and do a really top notch paint job. I think... maybe black.
Keep us posted. Good luck.
