I expect I'll have one at some point or another, but I'm still on the quest for the perfect set of 68-72 A-Bodies so it will have to wait.

When in high school I worked part time for my friends dad at his Plymouth dealership. Very small town and small dealership. Sold Plymouths and GMC trucks and mostly used cars. I was mostly a gopher from late 69 to early 72. The owner let me spec out a 72 Duster 340 to order that I was thinking about buying. I didn't go crazy on the order sheet and ordered it like it would sell on the lot. IIRC, the only options I ordered were vinyl top, rally wheels, RWL tires, and AM FM radio; and automatic. I ordered a red car. I had decided before it came in that I wasn't going to buy it because I was going to college and I couldn't afford the payments. (If I had only known that I would leave college after only 6 weeks and return to work!) When it came in it was a gorgeous car!
