My Duster

[mikelbeck]

Found some pics of my Duster, taken the day I brought it home.

It was still a street car... had a tired 318 (that I got to run into the high 13s), full exhaust, full interior, etc. Regular street car stuff. Oh, plus a monster pro-stock style scoop. I could never see over the thing so I got rid of the whole hood as soon as I could.

That reminds me of one of my brothers who had a 67 Chevy impala with a 396 in it. Stock motor but when he bought it, the car had the corvette style hood scoop on top of it. Looked ridiculous! Ahh the memories

If we are throwing out old pictures than I have one of my father when the car was new in 63.

damn......cool......for sure.....is he still around ?......

[cowbay]

Yea he is still around. Just a bit slower with the Parkinson's though, but he still gets out to check on a bunch a jobs for me. That car has been in the family since brand new. My uncle has my grandfathers 64 Buick Wildcat Convertible (Survivor car for most part), my cousin has another uncle's 65 mustang, my parents have a 56 thunderbird, my younger brother Brian has a 70 Roadrunner (on my picture site) and one of my other younger brothers Mark has a 68 charger 440 RT that only goes out to mopar nationals once a year ( because I drive it, car hasn't been on the road in years. Don't ask). I have my god son that is getting ready to do his first build up, he is looking for a car. Perfect example how cars are a family thing.
