Chuck, the Chevelle pretty much "flys" without a prop.. as for a hitch...this is my 72 Chevy 4x4 "tow vehicle"...I restored about ten years ago .. its pretty much my everyday work truck til snow hits the ground!!....and the ol 64 'skier looks pretty good behind it... |

Steve, I've looked very carefully at that picture and I still don't see a prop.

root, The coolest thing about that car was that I'd get in about 4am sunday from a wild night and while I was sleeping it off Dad would take the Duster to church and then for a cruise after. He did that for almost a month before I even realized it. Dad's still great, wish he lived closer so he could drive the boat around a bit. |

Bullet proof and simple to work on. I had more trouble with clutches than my engines. I had a clutch change by myself down to about an hour and a half. Put in heavier clutches and started bending throw out bearing forks. Lots of fun and learned a lot in the process. Only problem I ever had with the motors was wanting them to go faster and faster. |

Killer ride Alan.. My dad had a 340 Demon when I was younger..My first rod was a 71' Lemans "400" Sport.. Red mind you.. Damn if the cops didn't love that car too !!
My girls saw a Dart 340 this summer in FM3 Panther Pink and told me we had to have one... Like to find an old Dart/Duster and suprise them one day.. The 340's were bullet proof back then.. Moj' |

Alan, nice pics. Gotta have the slapper bars! Don't worry about the kid, easy for me to say I'm not a father. |

Well it was no show car but at 18 years old it was just about everything I lived for.
1972 340 Duster 8.5:1 comp. 4speed 3:23 posi rear. Then Bought a friends wrecked( This should have been a warning of things to come) 69 Dart with a 10.5:1 comp 340 and swapped the engines. Not fast enough so my buddies and I bought a Duster Drag car with 12.5:1, solid cam. Swapped motors again and we mounted a tunnel ram on it. Dad never could understand why we cut a hole in that hood. That car got me in a lot of trouble in both the front and back seat. Got ot the point were I couldn't drive down the street without getting pulled over so I ended up selling it buying my first boat. I though, "There's no cops on the water right?" but that's another story. PS. I have a 17 year old son who just bought his first car, I wake up from nightmares every morning at 3am. |

I think its in good hands, he drove from New York with his girlfriend (again I detected that east coast accent and i quivered) I basically gave the car away, If I put a dollar amount of the time and money I put into the car even at $20.00 per hour, I would have had to get 60k for it.....I didnt. I really thought i would never part with it but life changes, oh yeah strokin is the only way to go, I'll take one over a Big Block anyday

That's a 1974 Century Resorter 18' sitting on a CC trailer. Bought it in 1979, but unfortunately the boat pa$$ed away in 1998 during hurricane George down in the Fl Keys. |
