: I now need a rust free 75 or 76 duster body (I
: might be able to use a dart sport) If anyone
: happens to have one or sees one. please let
: me know.

:
: I responded to an ad for a free to a good home
: feather duster. It was in Baltimore and I'm
: in Canada.
:
: The car is extemely rough and rusty but
: complete and real.It has 340 000 miles on it
: now, 1000 of those on the way home. I had
: one break down. the plastic cog on the dist.
: stripped. Got a cab to junk yard and back
: cost me $50 and I was back on the road.
:
: Below is the story I posted in the forum where
: I got the car I think you guys might find it
: interesting!
:
: It was an normal trip to the border crossing in
: Houlton ME. from Baltimore MD. I was leaving
: the USA but had to
: pick up the title at US customs ( this is
: procedure and had done it 100% right , with
: Dr. M's help).
:
: The customs guy looks at the title and car ,
: all is in order but........... He says to me
: I have a US car with NS
: Canada plates on it. I tell him that is the way
: we do it in Canada and to best of my
: knowledge correct as I can
: be for what I'm doing.
:
: He then says something like "your in the
: united states of america now boy"
:
: He sends me into their waiting room with
: instructions to sit there and don't move
: till he is done a routine
: inspection??????????
:
: The I hear him on the phone to someone saying
: things like "I have the driver"
: "wrong tags on the vehicle" "
: no
: inspection sticker" and more stuff like
: unsafe etc..
:
: The customs guy called the MAINE STARE TROOPERS
: on me! Couldn't find anything else better to
: to but
: hassle me for no apparent reason , after all
: I'm 500 ft from Canada and LEAVING the US.
:
: The Trooper shows up after a long and painful
: wait. I'm thinking now I'm really in trouble
: as customs called in the
: troopers they probably HAVE to do something to
: me?????????
:
: The trooper wants me to come outside and look
: at the car with him.. The car does look bad
: to say the least! His
: first question was "You flew to Baltimore
: to get a $100 car?" My response was yes
: and it really was a gift to me
: from Dr. M. not a $100 purchase. Dr. M wanted
: the car to go to someone who would
: appreciate it as he had
: since 77.
:
: I had all my papers in order such as insurance
: and papers for the plates on the car. I then
: tell him that this no
: regular duster and show him the build sheet (
: with feather duster in black ink on the
: bottom). The trooper looks
: at me........ then the car and says something
: like A feather duster? Don't they have
: aluminum inner panels, a 4
: spd as opposed to an auto or 3 spd. and maybe
: an aluminum engine part ( intake manifold)?
:
: I said yes that's correct ( shocked that anyone
: knew what it was besides me and Dr. M!!!!!!)
: He then tells me he
: is a dodge guy, loves old cars and even waves
: to all the other dodges on the road. He
: looks at my NS drives
: licensee and says hey you are even my age.
:
: He says customs called him and his drug dog .
: He has to put the dog through the car . I
: say you have heard my
: story do what you have to I have nothing to
: hide...............go for it. He says to me
: that i'm getting screwed here
: and implied that he was going to help!
:
: After searching the car and finding nothing, he
: asked customs if all the papers were in
: order ( yes!) and that I
: was getting an unneeded hassle. They were
: holding me up. He then told customs that if
: they had listened to my
: story " that nobody could possibly make
: up" That they would not have needed to
: call him in.
:
: I'm sent on my way and sail through canada
: customs ( though if there was going to be a
: hassle it would be
: there? I'm entering the country this time.)
:
: Luck who knows? a MOPAR guy trooper! It left a
: bad taste for US customs, they were looking
: for
: trouble???????? I know the trooper tuned them
: for wasting his time after we left too! All
: I can say is the
: experience was positive and turned out well
: but........it could have gotten worse real
: fast......I'm thankful for that
: and so was the guy traveling with me! he had no
: idea it was going my way till the trooper
: had his say at the
: end!
