Intro: I was a at my grandmothers birthday party talking to my uncle who was going through a divorce which was making him move out of his house. He had a 69 Stingray and a #s matching 70 Duster 340. He was talking about listing the Duster for around $8k and I was like man I'd love to have that car. He had already pulled the motor and primed the engine compartment for the start of a resto but then the car had sat in a storage facility for 10 years. He said "Well I'll tell you what, if you come down for a weekend with your pickup truck and car trailer and help me move my stuff and the stingray to my new house you can have the Plymouth for $1000"! So i was like you name the date! So I bought the car from him as a basket case with almost perfect sheet metal besides the rear quarters and driver side door, that my dad had fixed for him the first time it was restored in the 80's, and MINT interior. It has bucket seats and center console shift with a Torqueflite 727 with a shift kit and stall converter. Now my dad, his friend and I are restoring her. Its a slow moving project but now since i just graduated college and got a good job we should be able to move forward. This was also my very first motor rebuild i did and to my surprise she runs awesome! We have now finished our paint booth so the cars in there now and have started putting the rear quarters on.
