    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    For those that did not live the era. I admit I am spoiled from the "old days" when the "muscle cars" built in the 60s, early 70s first came into favor. (They were mostly sorta woreout sorta rusty mustly OLD cars unless a garage pampered 70 hemi Cuda.) Which was mid 80s when people realized new...

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    Today. I say just about the only way to ever buy a project for what it is really worth, is to get one off a hobbiest that has restored 100% or even just a little. They have an understanding. The dudes that has them for sale on Marketplace, CL have no clue. They simply research what the other...

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    Its like the guys that swear their car only has 26,833 miles because that is what shows on the odometer! But there is surface rust and rust that took out the frame, but I agree... Rust is still rust. Heck, I am so old, I remember when no one wanted a original 340 Duster because it was a...

    Am I crazy or is this project Duster way overpriced?

    I have had many 70-2 Dusters over the years as many if us, but those year cars as projects, around our 4-5 state area have dried up and IF you find one, they are even more stupid priced as 99% of all the projects out there anyway. Just life. Last year I was seriously searching for a 73 up...

    Dodge Lancer owners

    The thing about these models is they never sold that many when new and 99.9% have been crushed. The ones that weren't crushed sat outside for 60odd years and have rotted into the ground. Most people consider them "homely". (I like them) Is what it is.

    Should my 1974 Duster have a hood - to - radiator support gasket?

    Even my Fords use such seals, I bet to help air flow to radiator. Ford ones are cheap...the Mopar ones might not be! :BangHead: :poke:

    I am thrilled to see the "old car community" coming to Steve's aid. All we ever hear these days is negative and political BS and slanted news about everything in this world. I certainly do not know Steve personally, I just have always assumed him to be one of us old car loving guys, trying to...

    Once a guy told me I was a flipper, since in the last 50 odd years many old Mopars have passed thru my hands.....I replied I guess I could be called that, but I have dragged many an old car out of the dirt and saved it for someone. If I made a $ it went in to save another. Once a guy called me...

    273 Commando - UTG

    Ole UT leaves himself wide open for criticism, discussion, ridicule...maybe that has always been his plan? I admit I have never been a UTube guy, but I believe Tony started it all with maybe trying to tell young guys they can build old cars that run without high $ parts. Maybe RoadKill gave...
