Driveable is ALWAYS good.providing it also stops. Many of us spend years gathering and rebuilding parts just to be able to drive a old car for the first time.

     I've been working on old cars for years...I wanted something I could drive now and work on later instead of the other way around..:)

A point of view I am starting to appreciate  more with each day that passes.

Yikes! That intake and air cleaner setup sells for more than I paid for my 42 Dodge coupe. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a factory 3x2 setup or even a air cleaner for sale or on a car that wasn't a dedicated duster/barracuda/etc show car.

I would rather have a 340 than have a hemi.

     Not sure what gear ratio I have...seems a little high...not for burn-outs...probably a good road gear...also it's not an 8 3/4, but I haven't crawled under it yet to take a look

Good looking car, I like the stance. If you don't mind me asking what's the tire sizes and rim widths? 

     Looks like 245/60/15's on front on 7's and 275/60/15 out back with maybe 8's...it has been mini-tubbed

     Thanks...the guy I got it from said the six pack was worth some real change...I talked to the guy one night drove two hours and bought it the next morning...He had some really nice cars, numbers matching stuff. Enjoyed talking with him.

Can't blame you. There is not one single engine in the world I would rather have for any of my cars than a 70-71 340,and the tri-power with the breather is just icing on the cake.

BTW,I owned a 71 340 Duster in 72. Have nothing but fond memories of that car. If I were rich,I'd own another one.

Hell,I wish I could afford to buy a really nice ORIGINAL 70-71 slant 6 Duster or Dart with auto and factory ac to drive every day.

Thank for the offer. It's even the "right" color for me if it loses the venereal top,but I am too old and have too many physical issues to even think about taking on even a mostly complete project.  That one is not only missing the 340,it's missing everything but the body shell.

     Finally got the trunk back open...had to pull the front wheel and hook up a battery charger to the starter...trunk has a popper...I disconnected the battery (in the trunk) and shut the lid...I immediately knew what I'd done lol...

BTW car has had floors replaced from firewall to trunk lid...springs are relocated about 2 inches inboard...would take a pretty wide tire...not that I'm interested...
