Randy, i don't know you personally but have always thought your car was the perfect street strip machine and one of my favorites on the board. that GTX is beautiful, DON'T get rid of it, if you really want a Duster maybe save up for a project and you could always "borrow" the X's drivetrain and a few other parts for racing. Good luck whatever you decide but you have a REALLY nice car

Dave,thank You for the kind words! I'm just a bit surprised...after 770 hits..no one has a BB Duster to trade! Like I said in previous posts...I have NO CLUE what the X is worth,and no one has given me their opinion...not yet,any way! Thanks again,Dave!

Thanks Bob! I checked out your links you sent,and unfortunately,they're ALL worth more than my GTX would go for,I'm sure! Plus...they're in either Cali...or Fla. I'd like to stay local,if at all possible! If nothing comes up...the GTX will still be around! Thanks again! Randy

The green one and the black one are on here, the green one is the quickest on the motor than the others but is race only, the lime green one, cant be 700 hp and only run 10.50's, when my 600 hp at best run's 10.20's, no clue on the white one.
As said before, keep your car, it's one of the best cars on here and it's a street car.
I miss that and plan on buying a second car myself, for street use.
Once you click that 10 off, you'll be happpier.

Keep the GTX and find a Dart/Duster chassis and swap the drivetrain. Build nice mild cruiser engine for the GTX. It is a cool car, but if I had an A body to trade ya I would!

Thanks Mick..and Josh! Josh,if I TRIED to start a project car...in this economy...my wife would kill me! Only one car at a time for me! I doubt if anything will transpire on this trade talk anyhow! Mick,I thought with 700 HP the Lime Green Duster would be MUCH FASTER as well!

Randy, there is a duster that is local to us on Craigslist. It is an unfinished project that looks decent. Can't remember what the drivetrain is, but may be worth a look. Could sell the X to finance the Duster and end up with something really cool (not that the X isn't). Don't sell your car short, it is a very nice car that could still be returned easily to stock.

No problem, just some options, I think your GTX is a keeper but than again I love to have new scenery in my garage every few years!!

Thanks,Bob! I've been looking at Demon's as well! Basically,just Dodge Duster's! If I can find either body style,that's been tubbed...fitted with a Dana 60,and has a "strong" Big Block...I would be VERRRY tempted!

I think my duster sounds like what you are looking for first time out went 10.35 with a pump gas 512 Im sure there is more in it as the trans dident make it through weekend Dana 60 with 4.88 gears and tubbed out for 14x32 currently useing my 33 10.50 but it is a 70 and I dont know if I could bring myself to part with it so soon after finishing it and befor I get a 9.90 out of it.

Randy,I'd start at $500,000 and take best offer.Back in 88-89 when someone ask me if I wanted to sell mine I'd say yea and tell them I wanted $50,000 figured if they were dumb enough to give it to me,it was sold,and I'd just find another one.I have a 71 scamp.hint hint

Man..you guys are REALLY against me doing this! It's not written in stone!....just an idea I've been running through my head the last 3-4 days! But....if someone had a Duster that I REALLY LIKE...I'd have to give it some serious thought! Thanks for all your concerns,fellas!!! As far as out-right selling it...I have no idea what it would be worth! Maybe you guys that have seen it in person could chime in and give an opinion!?! Thanks! Randy B.

Randy I too said I think you are crazy but you know really the A-bodies make the best race cars since they are the lightest of the Mopar muscle cars. I love the A-bodies also and have always wanted a Demon to turn into a race car if I ever has the cash for an all out race car. If I like something I dont care what it is worth such as I would not care that the B-body brings more cash then the A-body because if such as you I really wanted the A-body I would do it also. I myself would not trade my 63 for any car but thats because I love the historic history of the Max Wedge cars and I like the looks of the 63 Plymouths but if I had a sentimental feeling for an A-body because of someone in my family of myself owning one years earlier I would also not hesitate to do what you are thinking. Not for the value of the cars but because of the sentimental value of the car too you. So if this is what you really want to do I would do it no matter what anyone else says. Course we all just know how sweet of a car your GTX is so thats why I (we) think you are a little "NUTS" but I totally respect your idea ! But just make sure you dont loose out on the value of your fine GTX. Ron

Too tall! Thanks,Rob...that sounds like a good excuse to NOT get a Duster/Demon! I wish I had the resourses to keep the GTX as my street car,and purchase a race-ready...low to mid 10 second Duster,or Demon! Sometimes REALITY just sux! Lookin' forward to seeing YOU...Ron,Kevin,Stig Jr...and the rest of the motley Moparts crew in Norwalk! Just around the corner! FUN..FUN!
