A lot of beautiful Mopar rides up there in Kentucky,,,,,,but I have to admit that those AMC s look really cool,,,,,some real beauties in there ! Tommy
Loving all the cars. It's just a shame they are so valuable that most only see the light of day for events. When I was growing up, my dad had a couple cars he would have loved to have. They just kept getting more and more valuable, always out of reach. These were the same way for me, just out of reach as I earned a bit more. I did get a couple over the years, but would have enjoyed experiencing many more.
“Rode hard & put up wet” My wife’s Grandfather bought this TA new, it spent 2 years on the road before the engine came apart. The next 50 years in a barn. The future holds a second chance for this piece of American history.
I had a 340 Duster back in the 80s. It would have put a whole lot of hurt on any street driven 426 Hemi powered car back then, just like it did a lot of other hot street cars then (one would have been hard pressed to find a 426 Hemi powered car roaming the streets in the 80s in our area). There are a few Dusters with the modern Hemi in them, roaming the streets. As a street car, most 426 Hemi cars were over rated, but those modern Hemi motors have a huge street kick to them (and that would be without boosting them), and I'm a huge Mopar guy.
The 340 was the most underrated Mopar engine of all them all. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/bad-mopars-340-beat-ford-chevy-shocking-new-data/
