Thats awesome! Very cool duster and kudos for keeping its heritage alive! I'd love to see more pics and details of your Duster! 
Been following your 71 Duster Resto..outstanding ! My Duster has never been restored I just striped it down this year and repainted it, while the engine was out I repainted the engine bay. Back in 86" when I bought it, I welded up the fender walls where the headers were, went back to stock for about 2 summers..then I went back to its heritage, But more street and some strip it had 34,000 in 86 now it has about 50K on it, I have enjoy this Duster every summer for the last 25yrs. While I was in the Marines it went with me. The interior is all original except carpet and buckets, it came with Bench. Still have original fender tag and 2 broadcast sheets. The #s engine is long gone. but still has the #s 4 speed in it. I have everything to go back stock if I get the urge.

Cool Story Rick, Now show them some pics at the track with the decals on it. It looked great. I had no idea you found the original owner. That is very cool. Rick you should really go up and get that plum crazy 70 swinger 340 four speed that is just sitting. That one also has "Purple Haze" on the doors. They would make a great pair.
