Everyone remembers a local car when growing up they consider magical...a car that just takes you back to a different time.
This is mine. A guy in my hometown, Phil, bought this '71 Duster brand new and today he still owns it today with 17k original miles and paint. I remember this car very well because his dad's Texaco gas station was right next to my grade school and he would come by the school every day about the same time and I would peer out the window which was road level just to catch a glimpse of it. Still remember the white coated headers sticking out underneath and with the brown paint and Cragars it just had a wow factor. Car was not the fastest to begin with (318 Duster) but it just had that "high school" look we remember so well and it was always exceptionaly clean..and still is.
The dent in the rear quarter was from a errant baseball thrown at his senior picnic.
Car had Sun gauges and tach , Torker intake, Nationwise (NRS) valve covers and L60-14 Dayton bias tires and E-70's on the front.
Phil told me he bought the car from money he earned working at his dad's gas station since he was really young and the first dealer he went to did not take him seriously at 16 years old so the next dealer he took cash and they did. I think his dad did have to make the official purchase due to his age.
