Paid $800 for this local duster that was in a garage. There's a TINY spot of rust on one of the 1/4s. The rest is pretty darn solid. Its gotta slant which is fine by me, the 'Cuda chugs more gas with the 3.91s than idk what. Which is a little rough when your commute is 90% freeway and thats your only car. I definately have some cleaning to do i know, i'll get it running within the upcoming week, i hope  :icon_smile_big:.

Plans for it would be, getting it running, driving it, and possibly a el cheapo primer paint job and toss some dog dish caps or the old ralley wheels off my 'cuda on there.







Give me abouta month or two and she'll be lookin 10 times better i'm sure. :icon_smile_blackeye:

Whatta think?  :laugh:

that car is an ideal candidate for the $50 roller paint job that 69chargeryeeha does.  That and a set of ralleye wheels and you would have more than just a solid driver.

:iagree: Perfect!

Other than the dash, that interior's pretty damn clean too! :thumbs:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

From here, that looks like a Mod top, is it? :scope: Or is it just really beat up?

flip down back seat ? Then is a PRETTY RARE and only 74 model... Similar to the Dodge Dart Hang 10, but on Plymouth was called "Twister" as far I know. It has different trim, interior, decals and of course the flip down back seat.

It was actually made on the last day of production, July 31st 1974  :laugh: Its gotta console/floor shift, white buckets, flip down back seat, trunk dress-up option (or somethin like that). It was probably a nice little car in its day. I finally got in the trunk today. Locksmith cudant pick it, so i had to drill the tumblers out  :icon_smile_evil:

Look at the RUST! (just messin with ya  :icon_smile_big:) still has the polyglass spare.
