      Young people at that… lot of the younger kids are into what technology can do for them and see old stuff as outdated and useless. I’m okay with combining the two but todays throw away and replace society has gotta go.

      Knock it off lol. There’s no converting. As a die hard Chevy guy myself we are allowed to enjoy all motorsports and brands in situations like this but we have to stay Chevy at our core. I’ll be the first to admit thing like ford finally getting it right with the new coyote. But that bow tie is where it’s at even with them disappointing the heck out of me lately with their decisions.

    Man does that car bring me back to when I was a teenager. Every Duster at the track looked like that! Stickers, sitting high in the back, the wheels and those gauges were in every one’s car. I had them in my Firebird and my buddy’s 70 Formula. I just went back to 1990! Great find! Best of luck with the Duster!

    Hope Jeff turns this thing into a street car. I love racing but im Jeff and Bills age and honestly the older i get the more I appreciate just going for a cruise in my old car. Takes me back to when everything was a lot simpler. I started driving in the late 80s and old muscle cars were still out cruising the town.

    My first cat was a Hemi Orange 72 Duster. It had a blacked out hood and center strobe stripes. Black stripes down the side and black stripes around the tail lights. It had a 318 with a 3 on the floor. 8 3/4 rear end with 3:23 gears. With in the first year I had added 340 heads with 3 angle valve job. Cam dynamics cam and double roller timing chain. Edelbrock 4 bbl intake with a Carter avs 750. A set of cyclone headers and 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust eight he famous Duster chrome tail pipes. A set of Crager SS wheels and Road Hugger white letter tires. I went street racing in that car all over Kannapolis and Concord NC. I was only 16 when I got it. Paid for it with my job at KFC. I sure miss that car. I remember the car payment was $88 .00 a month. Those were the days. I still have dreams of driving that car. Many a week end at the car wash hanging out with all the guys from school who had hot cars. Thanks for the video that is one nice Duster. I will be watching for future videos.
