My wife's 70 duster

[johnnycharger]

Oh ok. Cool. Thanks for the help!

Do you guys know what emblems should be on the fenders originally? We are going to the swap meet Saturday. ...

What swap meet?

[johnnycharger]

Goodguys in Pleasanton. Mostly Ford and Chevy stuff but I have gotten lucky a time or two.

[Kern Dog]

Oh thanks... I didn't know about that one. Good luck.

[johnnycharger]

Thanks. If you are planning to go you can order advanced tickets online to save $1.50. Almost not worth it but if you use "speedway16" promo code you can save an additional $3.00

If I'd known sooner I could have planned for it.
I have a few weeks off from work so I took on  the monumental task of repairing the roof on my house.   

[johnnycharger]

Too bad it would have been great to meet up. Sucks to be on the roof but at least it isn't too hot right now.

Wife was looking good today so I thought I would take a few pictures of her with her Duster.

[Kern Dog]

At the risk of making you mad...
Her curly hair is quite nice looking. The car is cool and all but I dig the hair.   

[johnnycharger]

No worries! She gets compliments on her hair every day.  She is Portuguese and it is naturally curly like that.

I just read through your thread.  Really cool find.  Do you know if your Duster was changed over to 4 1/2" bolt pattern?  All the 70 to 72 A bodies were 4' bolt circle.  In 73 the disc brake cars got the 4 1/2" pattern like our Chargers.   Your wheels would be semi-rare if they are the small 4' pattern, hard to find aftermarket wheels with that now.

Thanks! Interesting info I didn't know.
I just checked and they are the 4.5s.

Couldn't see the whole sequence to the right, but here is what I got. Looks as if the car was originally Alpine White with a Dark Blue interior (the white looks like it peaking through at a chip above right from the fender tag).

oops

[johnnycharger]

Great stuff! Thanks!

I'll bet the R1 is R11 = radio, music master AM 2 1/2 watt.

[Kern Dog]

I think so too. I have had several 70-74 Darts, Valiants and Dusters with AM radios. That code seems familiar.
I friggin LOVE the A body cars! It might be the cheap/frugal aspect of them. Just like some guys are sweet on the old VW Beetles for them being simple and reliable transportation, I dig that too. My first car was a 69 Dart 318. It was not reliable though. It had some electrical problems that left me stranded several times. The second car was a 76 Dart Sport with about every option available. That was a nice, reliable car. Sunroof too. I had sex once with the girl poking through that sunroof. Maybe it wasn't just the "cheap" aspect of these cars that I fondly remember...
To date, I have owned 28 A body cars since 1982. Most have been Darts and Dusters. I currently have a 67 Dart GT, a 71 Duster that will eventually be a 340 clone, a 65 Dart, a 73 Dart Sport and a 65 Valiant Convertible.
I guess to get anywhere with these cars I need to spend less time on the computer...
