So last night I got the call that my car was on route and I took delivery of my 1970 Plymouth Duster 340. It's all restored to the fender tag top and bottom, 4 speed car, 340 date coded motor now a 416 stroker. 3.55 suregrip.

Great timing because today is my birthday. Going to enjoy this one!
Someday I will have a J0b.

In terms of handling the car it was great. Their price was on par with acouple others I requested (Mackie, Thompson), within about 150 dollars of each other including the cost of shipping a spare hood. I did strongly lean towards them as you had recommended them.

Their customer service is HORRID. Even to pay them I had to chase them down. Missed pick updates with zero information. Countless calls. 24 hour notice for delivery was 15 minutes.

I would not write them off as a bad company but with minor little improvements, they would be exceptional.

It's not a disastrous review because of how well they treated my car but I was disappointed in their back of house staff.
 
Someday I will have a J0b.

My car was like the spare change on that trailer too. Two Ferrari's, a Lamborghini, a Bentley SUV and a Shelby Mustang.

I don't think what happened to me is their normal way. I do beleive it was an anomaly. I also think my 30k car is not really the bread and butter of their business.

I don't know how anyone would not get excited everytime that truck shows up though. That feeling would never get old. The whole neighbourhood was out there.
Someday I will have a J0b.

Great Timing at least , looks like a fantastic Duster  :twothumbsup:

The owner of TFX, Wally, is a huge Mopar guy, so he'd probably get more excited over your Duster than one of those Ferrari's  :crazytalk:

I can't speak for Wally but the truck driver loved the Duster. The company does really have a passion for cars.

And thanks to everyone else for the Birthday wishes and the compliments!
