Oops I did it again!

I've been trying not to get anymore projects, but I fell off the wagon. I was supposed to fly over to Kauai (the next island over) to look at a couple of cars yesterday. I was offered a 72 Duster with no engine/trans but solid and otherwise complete for $400. Also a 69 Formula S Cuda that was a complete running 4spd car with a fresh 360 for $2500 and if I took both cars the guy was going to throw in a 57 4dr Fury (I think he said Fury my mind was in overdrive while he was describing the Cuda). This guy is a Mopar nut and has over 30 cars. After talking to him for over an hour I told him I'd call him back after I made my flight arrangements. I started thinking about it and just couldn't find the space to put the cars. Plus on top of that I might have to fly back to Vegas is 2 weeks and wouldn't have time to deal with the shipping as well as the storage space issue. I called him back the next morning and told him my dilemma. I told him I'd call him in a month to see if he still wanted to get rid of the cars.

This morning a guy who lives on my island calls me to come and look at this car he needs to get rid of ASAP. He's a Challenger guy and had come across this 73 Duster that he was going to part out. Knowing that I was an a-body guy he called me because he said the car was worth saving and not parting. It was a 73 Duster with a fresh 360, 727, 8 3/4 open rear. The engine supposedly has less than 100 miles on it and if you take off the valve covers it looks like it. It has a MSD distributor, LD4B with eddy 1405, hookers, flowmasters, 2100 stall, disc brakes...... The car is from Florida (still has the Florida plates) and belonged to a Marine who got busted for drugs and needed to get rid of the car before he was sent to prison stateside.

Another Mopar guy offered him $1800, but he's the type of guy who just likes to part things out to make money (I know who he is). I told him I wanted the car for my nephew to drive. Well the car is now sitting in front of my house :shock: It's not much to look at right now, but it starts right up and runs fine. Haven't driven it yet so I don't know how the tranny is. I'm gonna stick my 3.91 SG in it since it does have a stall.

I'm selling my 65 Valiant to a friend of mine since his wife has been wanting it for a while and I need the space. I wonder if the guy would sell me just the Cuda :scratch: :D I guess when it rains it really does pour :tongue:
