1968 442 & 1973 340 Duster in 1979 Boulder City

Mark Daniel, Robert Shivley and Steve Casteel in 1979. I took my 1968 Olds 442 with the factory hurst 4-speed and Robert with his 1973 340 Duster drove to the dry lake just past railroad pass about 8 miles from Boulder City Nevada and goofed off for a while. It was the end of the glorious 70's. I've had many muscle cars in my life but 442 was my first car and I have a special place in my heart for it. It was metallic Olive green with a black vinyl top and a 400 cubic inch big block. It was quick and fast. Robert's 340 Duster was wicked fast too. I remember Robert and I were stuck in traffic on the strip in Vegas and he did a massive burn-out and we disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The 1970 Cuda at the end of the video was my brother Ron's. It had a 383 Magnum with a tunnel ram with dual quads. Talk about fast!

Hi, I don't remember the name of this song. I kind of picked it randomly because youtube took the audio off the original video.

cool video. my dad had a 68 442, white w/black top and interior. if i ever build another GM muscle car it will be an Olds. my uncle had a 69 road runner which is why i am into mopars now. have a 74 duster i'm building now. are you still in vegas? i have been since 1981.

I moved out of Boulder City in 1980 and moved to Spokane Washington. Been there ever since. I'm currently building a clone of my old 442 in this video, only I'm painting it black and gold like I did shortly after I filmed this video. I'm having a blast.

I like the new music to this video. It sounds very poignant and melancholy. Perfect. You may have posted the title to this song earlier, but I missed it. What is the name of this track?

[yodeheyvavhey]

If you mouse over the speaker on the player, it will tell you the artist and track name.

Thanks for sharing; reminds me of my own 70's experience. I had a '71 Cutlass(still have it) and my GF had a '76 Duster.

[Venable1965]

Yes, thank you. Beautiful music. Great video!

I don't remember the track name. I picked it because it was the right length. I prefer the other 70's rock songs I had before. But I understand what you are saying about this track.

[yodeheyvavhey]

Yes, they made me change the music. The foreigner songs really put you in the 70's mood of the video. The original rims on the 442 where the super rare keystone aluminum rogues. Not the normal keystones classics you see. Darren now has slot mags on it. I just put together a set of Keystone rogues for my next 68 442.
