Dad had a Metro parts car for needed stuff for the Metro Mom drove for fun.
He also had a '63 Merc Colony Park wagon that had been retired from service.
I was 15 or 16 and looking at those vehicles sitting in his storage yard and formulating how to get that 430 from the Merc into that little Metro

I think he recognized my expression from his own youth and in no uncertain terms told me that he was not going to let that happen :lol:
 
Man did he pick an ugly one!!!! Probably found her at some crap hang out.
 
Dodge “The Dude”
Years: 1970-1971
“The Dude” was a muscle lifestyle truck that came before most known muscle pickups as a part of then new Sweptline lineup. Officially dubbed the “Dude Sport Trim Package”, “The Dude” wasn’t that different than conventional D100 trucks. It differed thanks to unique decals and body-side C stripe that could have been offered in either white or black, and stretched across its entire body. 245-horsepower 383ci V8 was Dude’s only available engine. Of some 73,000 Dodge D100 pickups produced during those couple of droughty years, only 1,500 to 2,000 were ordered with “The Dude” package. That alone makes them rare – needless to mention that very few have survived to date. Even rarer were Canadian Dudes marketed under the Fargo badge.

Dodge Demon Sizzler
Year: 1971
When it was introduced in 1971, Dodge Demon was intended as badge-engineered Plymouth Duster that would slot in the Dodge Dart lineup. Religious zealots quickly jumped at the first mention of its name and Demon nameplate was killed off the following year (although the car itself would continue on until 1976 as Dart Sport). Before all that happened, however, there was the mid-year spring package for the Demon, called Sizzler. Sizzler offered 14 optional pieces, 6 of which were “no charge” options including the unique blacked out hood, rallye wheels, side tape stripes and rear deck panel tape treatment from Demon 340, and color-keyed grille collar. Standard engines were either 198ci slant six or 318 ci V8, while 225ci slant six was optional.

"245-horsepower 383ci V8 was Dude’s only available engine" Is incorrect. You could actually get any Sweptline with that trim package.

Maybe you're reading it differently than me. I'll keep researching thanks.
