Here in Div. 6, I first saw Jim Devines "Lemon Twister" 72 340 4 speed Duster in the late 70s, still looks exactly the same today, although he did (finally!) replace the factory style A833 4 speed transmision for a Jerico a few years ago.

Me and the Cuda have been joined at the hip 37 years and counting. Entered my first points race in a rental car and got beat badly by Gary Long's 428 Cyclone first round, but I did get a grade point.

How about Casey Miles 1969 Camaro Z/28. I believe he has owned and raced it in stock since 1970!

How about Ben Wenzel's '67 Z/28?

X2 for Casey's Z28, still runs the car with wipers and exhaust. Went 11.00 in Gainesville this year. Love that car and I'm a FFFFord guy!!

Just curious, what do you mean by exhaust? Stock manifolds and single tail pipe?

I've watched your car for years and years. It is by far one of my favorites out there. While I like the moulin rouge and the 70 trim, I was a huge fan of the 71 with the billboards and lemon twist.

I believe the intent and focus of this thread was technology based and not how long a vehicle has been campaigned.
