Neglected Dusters sitting in the Car Barn

[@yoboi01]

I'm trying to find a 71 duster like my grand moms . Hers was blue with the white road runner stripe , black bench , side pipes , deep dish cragars , 340 .. I've never seen another like it . I would break down if I found 1

[@AutoArchaeology]

Gotta get the VIN from it somehow. Start searching

[@yoboi01]

@@AutoArchaeology I wish I knew how to get that info

[@davidwiner8571]

Wow those molars were so cool and original

[@garryhatchett775]

What about that barracuda?

[@triciaheydon2621]

Oh yes the “ good old days”, late 1970’s when I owned 70 340 Duster Green, Ran low 11's at Baylands Race Way in Fremont California, from Milpitas, California MADE a list of cars I won against! Never lost a race, this car hooked up on the street These cars were plentiful and cheap back then. They were on every block and high school parking lot in California even a primer gray neglected Super Bird. By the way kids worked on their own cars, just add a new cam, headers and intake plus carburetor ? Duane Heydon

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup, sounds like fun.

[@79tazman]

What about the second generation fastback Barracuda that's in the corner all tore apart that is cool too

[@jakespeed63]

Gold 340 Duster is The Shit!!!

[@AutoArchaeology]

It is neat

[@nicKz]

I lived by a farm out in the middle of nowhere in Iowa that has 8-9 Dusters (3 or 4 340 cars) and multiple Mopar station wagons. Also 440 power wagon Dodge trucks and some older 60s Volkswagens.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Sweet! Sounds like a good palce to be

[@mattkaustickomments]

I remember growing up with riding in Mom’s ‘74 Gold Duster and leaving thigh skin behind on those black vinyl seats every summer!

[@AutoArchaeology]

lol

[@mattkaustickomments]

Auto Archaeology , hehe thanks! We also used to play “Mafia Trunk”. Our Gold Duster had a fairly rare feature - you could fold down the rear seat back from inside the car, and get directly into the non-hatchback trunk. On long trips the kids would stretch out to sleep with lower body in the trunk. If a kid was entirely in the trunk, and another kid closed the seatback, that was called ‘Mafia Trunk’.

[@goodboyringo9716]

Im wondering if he has ever heard of a car cover?

[@robert19271]

Ringo Gingo I thought that as soon as I saw all the dust on them LOL .Have 6 Mopars One is a 70 Duster 340 4 speed. After 71 the Duster was no power. Thanks

[@Apollo_Vanron]

Dusty Dusters!

[@propdoctor21564]

Awesome video. I've been in the Mopars since I was 18 which was 1982. Had a 69 roadrunner, 68 and 69 satellite, 72 340 Duster, 63 polara, 74 charger,

[@AutoArchaeology]

Awesome! Some great cars you had there.

[@bobbg9041]

Original tires, do not drive on them. Rubber breaks down over time. Your not storing those cars correctly, you might as well sell them to someone who's going to take pride in them and care for them.

[@AutoArchaeology]

You're correct, I'm sure when he does put it back on the road it will have new tires.

[@79tazman]

They are in a garage that's the best place for them it's out of the sun rain and snow all the dirt and dust will wash right off

[@RK-tc2wq]

Oh man! 1 340 4speed Duster is awesome! But 2 is amazing! Not a fan of 73 and newer grills and taillights but it is the last of a 340 so totally awesome! Keep up the great Mopar stuff!!

[@AutoArchaeology]

I'm there with ya!

[@richardcraniumdicksinn3959]

Dusty💨 Dusters

[@AutoArchaeology]

Exactly

[@throw1932]

"gonna fix them up one day"

[@AutoArchaeology]

He races Mopars every weekend. So I don't doubt it.

[@stonedraider708]

Those cars are days work from running. not like those fools who let em rot

[@jarbalojim]

Always the famous last words, eh?

[@davidrubin1895]

What about the barracuda ?

[@AutoArchaeology]

He was in the process of making it into a drag car. Just originally a 225 Slant Six car, but was basically a gutted shell at this point.

[@raymond400]

all i can think is get em out and drive em

[@alvinkarpis5755]

he's not going to do shit with those cars. LOL

[@AutoArchaeology]

You never know.

[@mickjagr3538]

Id like to get in touch with the guy and ask him about the dirtbike

[@AutoArchaeology]

Sadly he's out of the dirtbike game.

[@walterwynnchok7474]

I remember Dusters!... 👍... and The Dodge Demon!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup! A-body fastback-ish.

[@mynameis9057]

man,some sweet rides!you can tell they loved them by the miles they put on their clocks. was that a 66 or 67 charger stripped in the corner with a race history? thanks for sharing these with us.☆☆☆

[@AutoArchaeology]

In the corner was a future race car 69 Barracuda.

[@mikejenks7975]

Awesome barn find channel brother in my opinion.the information you provide is great we need more channels like this for motor head..thank you again.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Thank you!

[@1962pjb]

Its nice to see that they have been kept out of the weather anyway. :-)

[@AutoArchaeology]

Crazy that they thought that far ahead!

[@1962pjb]

Yes. And it shows that he cares about them. Few and far between these types of people.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup!

[@zaneturner4478]

was that a Cuda in the corner

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup, a 67-69 Barracuda Fastback.

[@streetmachine4406]

It's a 68, round turn signal hole in the quarter panel.

[@gotthewolfdogs9552]

As Freiburger said it’s a cleaner I’m actually helping you

[@AutoArchaeology]

Exactly!

[@mikeellis8385]

I hope they put that alternator back on. Why would anyone yank an alternator off an "original" car?

[@AutoArchaeology]

Might have needed it on another one of their fleet of Mopars temporarily.

[@staciesalas2696]

Not really neglected ...beautiful though

[@AutoArchaeology]

Sitting for 40 years, they are a bit neglected

[@timeason5971]

Some how has auto that has not money to repair them

[@AutoArchaeology]

What?

[@FindItFixIt]

I'll buy the Honda dirt bike if he wants to sell it

[@bobbg9041]

What the hell is the point of buying a car and putting 16k miles on it then putting it in a barn for 40+ years, stupid! I've got at least 3 Toyotas with over 200+k on them each one almost 300k with no major repairs, I've owned GMs ford and Chryslers even a duster the 6 cylinder version. They all broke down ecpt my 2 ford trucks. I've had 14 Toyotas always driving over or close to 200k on each car. And yes I've blown up motors or torn up cars. But I wouldn't park one in a garage with 17k miles on it for 40+ years. Imagine if the guy had a ford bricklan hed had for 40years. You don't see them often anymore.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Oh I agree with you.

[@jarbalojim]

It's idiotic, guy doesn't deserve to own the cars.

[@richieh6465]

Looks like a formula firebird not formula 350,,, needed a side shot

[@AutoArchaeology]

It is a Formula 350, he bought it new.

[@flflash4717]

All 1988 Formula Firebirds came with the L98 5.7 liter 350 cubic inch engine. Some had the 350 graphics and some did not.

[@evilone6785]

Was that a fart?

[@AutoArchaeology]

No, almost falling over a transmission.

[@mikeellis8385]

oh, ok. well I would have loaned them one off my Ramcharger to keep that Duster intact. Gotta love Dusters...

[@AutoArchaeology]

I agree!

[@bobsilver3983]

Are you going to that one dudes place...actually "places" in Canistota South Dakota soon? He is the one with 500 or more cars. Let me know, I have his number.

[@AutoArchaeology]

The stuff going up for auction?

[@bobsilver3983]

I'm not sure if he was going to auction his cars or not.

[@AutoArchaeology]

I do not then, there is another guy with some Mopars going up for auction in SD. Drop me an email, [e-mail] and we can talk more.

[@billharden7127]

MOPAR 👍

[@realmaindrianpace]

If you were born in '83, wouldn't you be 34-35, or was this a few years back?

[@83glxcrusin97]

Maindrian Pace you caught that too! Makes me feel a bit younger lol.. 😂👍

[@brentonmcclean3647]

Good lord...im glad I wasn't the only one that caught that

[@natenasty6292]

You aint 32

[@AutoArchaeology]

This was shot just 2 years ago. I'm 34 now.

[@boataxe4605]

HaHa the Dusters need a dusting.

[@zacharyfunair1974]

by the looks of it they got a dusting ha

[@AutoArchaeology]

They could use a good cleaning.

[@bobbg9041]

Only if its a feather duster like I had.

[@notyodaddy1499]

Epic fart at 1:05 👍🏻

[@AutoArchaeology]
