Quote: My brother in the San Diego area has the P/S Duster supposedly originally owned by John Diana. We are still trying to verify that this information is correct. Anyone having information on this car, please let me know what you got.
Under the heading of "Better Late Than Never" The Dianna Duster was a Modified Production car that ran in NHRA Street Eliminator. What made it unique was its 305" small block, which put it in the land of the 302 Chevies, E/MP. The destroked pieces were from Chrysler's Trans Am program, and all the Bowtie head writing the article kept refering to was how pricey those internal parts were. (well, they were) which probably contrbutes to the still popular notion that "You can build a Chevy a whole lot cheaper than a Mopar", but that subject is for another board and thread.
