Nova 350 vs Duster 340

None of them were anything other than cheap purpose built cars that people had no qualms about modifying and running them into the ground because they were not considered collectible back in the day.

Nobody cared about that in the mid '70s!

hell no one cared about b-bodies or e-bodies either. had priends picking up running driving 70 challenger rag tops for 1300 bucks in the early 90's...
