Trading one of my R/T's for my friends 1976 Duster!

I have always wanted a Muscle car era to build. My buddy needs a second car that makes good mileage and since I wanted his Duster, I offered a trade and he jumped on it. He has always liked my white R/T and has helped me out alot with it. He has bugged me in the past about selling it but I didnt want to get rid of it. Well the car just sits there, rotting in the sun so I thought I would offer a trade for something I want. It's missing some parts cause I robbed some parts off it to rebuild my white R/T last year after I was rear ended. His Duster is in good shape, no rust and it has a ton of extra parts, but it needs a 3rd member. I figure it's a fair trade, my R/T is a little more road worthy at this point, but I would want to do a full rebuild on the Duster anyways.

Sounds like a good trade. What powertrain combo for the Duster?

318/727

I have a pre 72 360 block that would make a good 408 canidate!:eyebrows:

post up some pictures please! my dads first car was a 76 duster

That cool! My first car was a 76 duster with the 318 auto. That thing was indestructable!!! Mine was gold with a vinyl top

Here are a couple pics from when I brought it home. My friend is giving me a extra passenger door and L/S fender.

looks like all you need is some paint and you'll be good to go!:eyebrows:

that is one nice duster. :love: too bad if a car sits here in michigan for a while it wont look like that still.

Back in high school I had a '74 Ply. "Gold" Duster. It was green with the half snake skin white vinyl roof, gold pinstripes and green interior! Yuk! I ripped off vinyl roof, cut the muffler off, tossed the hubcaps and TERRORIZED the town. It was also a 318car but had the A904 trans and 8 1/4 rearend. Id love to have another Duster! Sadly 12mpg isnt in my budget right now.

Looks cool..just enhance some more car accessories.
