I don't think so The era of the mussel cars was in my hayday. I also kept good track of gas i used as it was a carry over from what my dad taught me on keeping records on your cars and equipment. Plus i was working as a Chrysler Plymouth mechanic , All i did da in and day out was mussel cars . was one of two that were certified on the Hemi's and went for training for five days when the 440 6 pack came out . The 71 Duster i owned was the 1971 show and test car that every car magizine test drove when i got the car after test driving it on the test track it had 856 miles on it and a bald set of G 70 14's on the back . Off the show room floor 13.23and 107 thru the quater , just leave it in drive and stand on it . My RR would run the quater in a 13.12 @109 Still have the time slip layen around along with the trophies . Now they were not as fast as my old Ford but they were STOCK with just fine tuning . So when it comes to old Ford or Mopar preformance it took and realy good wrench to out do me . I may be getting old but i can still make the old ones runand a lot faster then anything coming out of Detroit today . Like one day and old friend and i were talken and this old friend just happened to be the owner of the org. BIG BAD DODGE and he and i were talken abot the new Viper and how well it ran when i brought up let put my old Duster up against it in heads up title for title he asked me if i just wanted one for free as there was noway that the Vipe could take the duster and he was 100% correct , Off the line 0 to 70 the 340 Duster for 71 as tested the car i owned would do it in 4 seconds , in the 1/8 mile Duster against a hemi now we are talken the real Hemi you know 426 cid dual 4bbl. don't care what body it was in the 340 would knock it's socks into the creek . That little Duster was like Burger King took two hands to handle that whopper, because when ya poked it you had better be ready to drive.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
