I enjoyed reading the Hemmings article about Dave Parente's '74 Plymouth Duster. My aunt and uncle bought a green one brand new and drove it until 2000-2001.
Mr. Parente may have had a couple Pintos in his collection in 2013, but not Jade and Geraldine. Dave Herbeck didn't pass away until April 2, 2016. That said, it's still quite possible that he's the one who acquired them... I simply don't remember.

I'm pretty sure Parente owns them, since Hamilton said he got Dave's Pintos. I'm going to start watching the high end auctions, so I'm ready to spring when they eventually (perhaps) surface. Parente used to be on this site....

Here's to hoping you get your opportunity for one of those Pinto's.
I have the mentioned "Cousin Car" to the Duster. It's a 1973 Plymouth Valiant. It is a one year car with the changed front grill/hood but the older vertical tail lights that went up/over the rear quarter panel. It only has 86,000 miles, a warmed over 318 (Edlebrock intake, carb, cam) and more modern, ported swirl port heads. Suspension mods include front and rear sway bars and rare (expensive) cop car wheels with 215-60-15 tires. 2.76 gears hamper take-off acceleration but getting on a freeway at 40 MPH in 2nd gear and nailing the gas makes it fly! Handles like a go-cart too. I got the Valiant off Ebay for $1026 back in 2004.

The green pinto sedan, under 5,000 miles, just sold on eBay for $6,600. The first time on eBay auction it went over $12,000, but then someone retracted their high bid and the supposed buyer never reappeared. So it was relisted.
