1. Dusters are nice looking cars. A LOT BETTER looking than any gas sipping Honda Accord!
2. With a 408, automatic and 3.23 gears it should run respectably on the drag strip. (and out run the Honda!)
3. A-bodies can be set up to handle and corner VERY well.
4. It cost a lot less than a new car that's not even half as cool.
5. At 25 mpg, a normal guy on an average budget can afford to actually drive it everywhere and enjoy it!! Antique cars in the garage are ok, but the real fun is in driving them!
Thanks quickdodge, you hit the nail on the head. it's a blast to drive this car everywhere. I haven't run a mixed driving check yet but I expect it to deliver 20 MPG in town if I baby it.(hard to do ya know!) I should be listing some quarter mile times on Saturday if all goes well.
