Firs time mopar owner from Finland - Plymout Duster 1970

[nickname]

Hello everybody! Great to join this community.

Got my old man's car just last fall and started working on it this spring.

He got it new and drove it until 2011. Since then it sat in his garage.

Looking forward to get into the world of A-bodies with this beauty and contribute to this forum!

Thanks! It was nice to find this forum since the local community is quite small and in-active.

In fact, there was only ~100 registered Valiants/Dusters in the entire country last year..

Thanks! I guess I'm luck that my old man was always the cheap sort and never changed a thing in the car...

I just wish that these things wouldn't rot so easily here in north. So jelous of some of the cars I've seen here with the orignal paint and no rust.

What a view and nice duster! Have you had any use for studded tires there in Alaska?

Some clubs organize winter cruisings here

Thanks, the picture is at Alaska Raceway Park, the ONLY dragstrip in the state. AND it's NHRA certified. Oh yeah there are LOTS of uses for studded tires here in the winter. Most classic owners in AK hibernate their cars in the winter.
