Al's Duster is an easy one to spot... Sure, the color helps, but Al's Duster is a catcher to the eyes! Dusters aren't too common like the usual Chevy and Ford's etc. around these parts... So the fact that Al's Duster is so nice, makes it just a rare combination indeed and always a treat to see out on the road or at local events. A well representation for all the Plymouth owners out there that these cars were not one to forget! And we simply love it!
Al's Plymouth isn't his first rodeo! He is Mike's father who graced us as Car of the Month with his 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass, AND, that Cutlass was once owned by Al. A family tradition of passing cars down from Father to Son, Al now has his Duster to play with. He has had the Duster for about 8 years now and in the course of that time, Al and Mike have done all the work on it except the body work. Obviously, Al and Mike are a good team because this Duster makes all of us at EMC want to have one!
The Duster sports a 904 Transmission and 390 Gears in a 8.75 Rear along with Edelbrock Heads, TTI Exhaust, B&M Shifter, B Cool Radiator and a 670 Holley Carb. Also done is a 4 wheel disc brake set-up and and a Hydro Booster Brake set-up.
Al got his Duster off of a friend of his who was going to junk the Plymouth.... I am sure after seeing what Al has done with it, his friend probably is a little jealous and re-thinks the almost sad fate he was about to put the car into. We would be! In the end, the Duster made out on top leaving Al with a sweet rare ride everyone looks at! Green never looked so cool!
Al does have a future plan with his car.... He plans on maybe doing a Fuel Injection set-up over this winter with future, future plans on possibly doing an overdrive trans way down the line. We just hope to keep seeing it around! Al is one of the original members of EMC and like his son, a great addition... If your lucky to see this car around town, take a look at it you won't be sorry.
