The Duster looks fun, but is not near the beauty that your 68 Coronet is.

Why not get yourself a hot '68 Dart and a '68 fastback 'Cuda...Formula S if you're leaning towards A bodies since you already have a '68 B body?

Some of my classmates and co-workers had 340 Dusters and Darts in 1971 & 1972. I always liked those cars.

The guy we got the Duster from has a '68 Barracuda Convertible, original Tucson car tucked away in his collection that I have my sights on too.....

No need to feel ashamed at all! I watched your Coronet build and it’s still one of my favorite cars, but that Duster is sweet too! I have really been toying with the same idea of picking up a Duster for my 8 year old son. Perfect car to work on until he can drive, parts aren’t too expensive and would be a great first car to learn how to drive with. Your daughter is going to love it...if you quit driving it!

Compared to a '67 yea I guess they are cheap. Compared to the others in the big 3 they still invoke the Mopar tax.

Example. 64 Mustang rocker moulding (fancy and fluted) = $79, Duster plain moulding = $249

dusters are fairly cheap to get into as well.
the demon project you mention sounds interesting!!

i like the keystones on the car and hey you should make more videos that are longer than 18 seconds cause the car looks cool. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I learned with my 67, there are the unobtanium prices for certain parts, and the crap thing is that, on the whole, the 67 R/Ts are way under valued and under appreciated. While all Mopar items are expensive in general, they are however more reasonable when compared to some of the other models. 68-70 Chargers and parts right now are NUTS!

yeah see there ya go Jim.
that Walkaround vid is Sweet..you do really nice work man.

JimKueneman · May 11, 2019

OMG, I told the wife I was not doing another car until we had a shop and she got pissed and stormed off to the bedroom because she said, and I quote "Well I guess I will never get a car because we can't afford a shop so again she is left out".... She apparently wants the cuda convertible..... sigh.....
