around 10 or 15 years or so ago, my one buddy bought a duster shell from [supposedly] arazona.
in my opinion, for what he got, he paid way too much for it.
i donated the drive train, [a low mileage -35k original mileage- truck 318, and a rebuilt unknown source 904, a driveshaft to cut down to fit, and conned a buddy of mine to donate a B-body rear] front disc brakes, and a bunch of stuff i'll never use for the cause.
when it was done several years later, he confessed he had around 36-38k in it, body work, paint, interior, wheels and tires, all done. lots of donated work by myself and another couple of good friends.
it's a very nice car, but at the beginning of this project, i thought he could have bought a similar car for half the money, as i had seen a couple of pretty decent dart sports and dusters in the 15-18k range for sale.
but now, in today's market, it's almost impossible to buy anything for under 15k that doesn't need a bunch of work, so when you are done with your project, you still have 30-35k+ in it !
arggggggggggg !!!
