Default The Car You Should Of Never Sold Before or After Your 928

Should of always kept the Duster
Was a nice sleeper,body looked more like stock but was fast.
The car wasn't cut up either stock wheel wells,back seat,full interior had everything in it stock except stroker motor 340cu in with 4" crank pushed it up to 416 cu in.
11:1 Venolia Pistons with .120 wrist pins and with the big cam and 11:1 compression it ran good on 93 octane
Roller cam.660 intake .630 exhaust 260 degree duration int. 270 ext. @.05
Stainless steel Norris rockers
Victor Jr intake with 750 Holley Double Pumper #4779
Ported W2 heads
727 Auto trans with 904 6 clutch pack SS style trans with 5200 converter stalled at 3500 and flahed to 5200rpm at full throttle.
The 904 clutch pack was less reciprocating weight in the trans,still had the big front pump and neck of the 727 converter for strength
and for street use the 6 clutch pack helped it last.
1 7/8" tube headers
4.10 gears
11*28" Goodyear Slicks
Car ran:
1.53 seconds 60 foot time
0-60mph in 2.8 second area
1/8th mile in 7.05 seconds
1/4 mile high 10's
Of course it didn't handle but it made a heck of a street car weighed in with driver at 3450lbs ran good for a small block.
More inline with TURBO S times in 1/4 mile but faster 60foot 1.53 it was a good street car had that 16 years before the 928.
Sold it when I bought the 928 and now need something else as quick.

The 1968 SS/RS 396 4spd Camaro and the 1969 Corvette Tri Power 427 I still get sad when i think what they are worth today. Oh well. But I did get three wonderful kids and a station wagon in exchange!

Hmmm... just realized my sickness about owning "Euro Cars" that have V8s started at age 16.

Not mine, but had one identical in high school.

1970 Firebird Formula 400 Ram Air III, all options except cassette tape and rear spoiler. Sold to a collector in 1982 to finance part of my first year at college. It was the right decision, but regret that the decision was necessary.

From my sig, in order of highest regret....

'58 Porsche 356A, silver, with sunroof. - sold to buy a house.

'37 Chevy Pickup. - sold rather than move it across country.

'55 Austin-Healey - sold to buy a 100-6

And for its appreciation value...

'48 Chrysler Town and Country Convertible, green body and top. (wood doors, panels, and trunk lid, quasi-auto transmission). Bought and sold for $750.00 in college lo those many years ago.

Wow! The fastest I've ever been in a car, 1970 Formula 400 throught the Sumner Tunnel in Boston. Like a bullet in a rifle barrel.

I don't regret getting rid of any of them. If I sold the 928... then I'd be upset!
