I picked this thing up over the weekend....It's a 70 Duster, slant six but the guy gave a 360 with the car. I've never been a MOPAR guy so this will be a fun learning experience. The body needs very little work and is rust free. My wife had one of these in HS so I figured that I would build it for her. It will be a very low budget build, just body/paint basic suspension upgrades / lowering, 17" wheels, engine swap and interior (I say this now...lol). The best part is the guy just wanted rid of it so I got it for the low, low, low price of $0!

Anyway, what do you think:

Steve this car was just down the street, off MacArthur, right? I'm pretty sure I've seen it around but not in quite a while. Looks like a great start for a project!

One of the vendors built a green Demon on AirRide and black CCW's. If you could find that car, it could give you some ideas on what is possible. That car really opened my eyes up on what could be done with a Demon or a Duster.

That looks great!
If you want to sell it, I'll give you double what you paid for it ;)

Short update, I've been moving a little slow on this but have been collecting alot of parts. I have the old /6 pulled and am tearing into the front suspension for rebuild and also a disc swap.

Any time you get a decent car for $0.00 you're starting out right! Welcome to the Mopar world. There are some cool upgrades available out there.

Looks like most of the OE trim pieces are there. That's where these Mopars get you....that and engine parts, for some reason things seem to cost 2-3x what Chevy stuff costs!

M.O.P.A.R. Move Over People Are Racing, or Mostly Old Parts And Rust- you decide! Sounds like a cool project, Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Did the car come with a V8 K-member? A couple of the guys that work with me are infected with the Mopar bug. If you ever need anything, maybe we can help.
