Is it a true four wheel drive, drivetrain?  The car looks clean.

I would never do that to an E-body but I know what I hate and I don't hate that   :misbehaving:

Did anyone get good photos of the flat black Duster on the dually frame at Carlisle a few years ago? If so I would love to see them.  :bigsmile:

I just got a quick look as it drove past.  :walkaway:

Even though it most likely began life as a 318, it still would've looked better as a normal 'Cuda/Barracuda. :2cents:

It is a factory 340 'cuda BS23H3 :villagers:. Also unlike most 4 wheel drive mopar conversions this one is on its own unibody not a truck frame, and has had shackle mounts welded on and it is true 4 wheel drive, as far as I could tell.

 :nono: :pullinghair:  That car definitely didn't deserve that at all, considering 340 cars are still highly sought after for '72-'73 E-bodies. :swear:

The DMV should have the power to commit people to the asylum if they deem them fit... such as people who do stuff like that. :villagers:

I have also seen the car at Mopars at the strip the last 2 years and I have to walk right by it and ignore what has been done to the car. I could never do something like that.

I guess I am the odd one here, even though I could not do that to a Cuda, I would be more than happy to own and drive it.
