This is a 1974 Plymouth goldduster I had paid to be restored back in1998 it's been in
storage inmy aircraft hangar since 1999 . The Back story I was a senior managerat
Jayco manufacturing in Middleberry Indiana A fellow manage, thePresident of JET
transport, had around 120 drivers delivering RV’saround the nation. He was a car
collector. When his men spotted agood car, they would call him. He would buy it and they
would backhaul it for free back to Indiana on the Jayco trailers. He took a newjob and
sold off quickly some of his projects to his fellow managers( Me) .This car was bought
between Tupelo Mississippi and Memphis

Ihad the Jayco workers put in a new transmission and they stripped andpainted the car,
The Amish workers stripped and re did the seats.(and yes I paid for all this work through
the company at overtimerate after they were done with normal shifts) I had a speed shop
puton a new intake manifold and 4 barrel carb I took a new job flyingjets and put this and
other cars in one of my aircraft hangers wayback in1998-1999? They have been there
since in dry storage. I nevergot around to finish putting the grill, lights and other items
takenoff for the paint job. I took it now to a great OLD TIME mechanicsshop Fox Auto in
Mishawaka. Fox says the 1974 models were the firstto have electronic ignition? They say
my ignition needs replaced asthe ignition control module is defective from storage?
(picture onfirewall says when it gets hot it is defective) ( Starts but stumblesat high
rpm?) I bought a complete new ignition system from JEGS needsto be installed
Distributor, ignition controls, wiring the best) forthem to install I've got extra grills extra
dash never put the taillights or headlights or trim back on after I had it painted I don't
even know what it's worth so if anybody's got an idea let me know.Haggerty classic auto
insurance has it insured $22000. They say theyare going up in value?? I have already
put a lot of money into thisone but it should really go up in value once someone finishes
it up
Ido have an engine chrome kit for it

trunkstill has red dirt from Mississippi red dry dust mud in trunk
dashlight switch has a beer bottle cap on it
Sidedoor panels and headliner old, dirty

Appearsto have headers and dual exhaust from pictures I would think pipesand mufflers
need replaced (surface rust? Still I would replace)
Iwould replace brake lines and tires for safety as they are way tooold From experience
these are very critical safety items (Brakes workgood)

oil pan and clean oil intake screen and debris in oilpan)
