Carlisle: My pics.

I made it down for Saturday only-not counting the late night drive Friday. Barely saw anything at the show, basically vendors the whole day..however at the Stupid 8 on rte11 there was a F'n incredible resto-mod early Duster Fy1 yellow ('71 shark tooth grille) guy had to have at least $60K into it. MoPar suspension GONE-all aftermarket goodies, oversized wheels @ 17-18" and slammed down to the ground. Its nothing I would have personally done- but was just a sweet machine to look at. Very well thought out-all A/C lines and PS lines under the frame, only the wiper motor visible on the firewall. The dash board was a work of art. I havent seen any pics of it here yet- would imaging this car will be making the rounds in all the MoPar mags soon enuff. I think the guy was from Va.


The Lemon Twist 1972 Duster 340 that you saw --- was a 340 car that the owner decided to take to the Pro Mod / Resto Mod level, sorta like Kenny Shepherd's Duster. That car is one of two, that were a Father and Son set.
Both Dusters are 1972 models, one is Lemon Twist and the other is Hemi Orange. The Lemon Twist has a small block while the Hemi Orange has a 500+ cube Indy big block. Both cars were built about 8-9 years ago, completely torn down and restored carefully. The owners live in Northern Va just outside DC. I used to make the local cruise scene more often, and these cars were regulars. No doubt these cars are beautiful examples of well planned, well finished cars.
