My cars in order of ownership and their fate.
1968 Plymouth Satellite 273ci (crashed it at age 17 in 1989).
1968 Torino GT 289 my Grandmother's old car. Rubber fuel line at carb failed and started on fire. Wasn't a total loss. (Sold it)
1968 Plymouth Satellite 273 (sold it)
1971 Plymouth Duster Twister (still have it)
1964 Plymouth Valiant 200 /6 4 spd. (still have it)
Forgive me about the Ford,
Matt

I love Fords, too. Funny you mention the fire thing, as that was actually a common issue with V8 Fords. The fuel line ran right over the distributor and in some applications, the fuel filter was right over the distributor. So when the rubber hose got old and leaked, it leaked right on top of an ignition source. lol I always re-routed mine and did on my 75 F250 I currently own.
 
1999, this was the last summer on the road with the 1964 4 Spd Valiant. I put the 1971 Duster wheels on for kicks. 225/70-14 on the rears with saggy springs. Hopefully this will be the summer (haven't seen it 8 years) when everything gets taken apart (within reason) and reassembled. It also need paint, it has a 50 footer on it. 360/340 heads etc. 1968 4spd, 3.91 8.75 for the final drivetrain (already in possession) and disc brakes. You Guys know the routine. An old friend Lee Sprague, NHRA record holder in a 1968 340 4spd Dart, tuned my Duster set up but told me to leave this thing alone. Back in the day, through fender exhaust was the only option, no TTI headers back then. I think he'd approve the no cut method. Stock wheel wells will probably stay in it too. I bought this car sight unseen except photos out of California, I learned a lesson about absolute honesty but I'm still glad to have it for $2k ('99 money).
