Alright fellow mopar nuts. is it just because I have a duster, or are the 70's nova's just plain ugly???? I don't get it, I really don't. why on earth are Nova's more popular than Dusters?
Is it because there are more inbred people in the world than originally thought?
Is it because you can't fix stupid?
Is it because I like Mopars?
I do not have the answer to these questions. But I do know one thing....
MY DUSTER IS NOT! AND I REPEAT... N O T a freaking NOVA. If one more kid at a gas station asks me....I don't know what I will do.
just a couple days ago: I'm pumping gas, minding my own, when this guy around 50 comes walking up. Now we are all use to this scene. When we drive a classic, it's an open invitation for everyone to walk up and tell stories. and I am totally...100% cool with that. I like people. I like hearing their stories. But I actually had a guy walk up to me a couple days ago and say "is that a duster??" he had a real puzzled sound to his voice. I reply, "yes sir, it's a 74"...silence....more silence, leaning towards awkward now. "wow" he says..."I don't remember dusters looking so cool"
ok, I know what your thinking...we may have just recruited a member to the wonderful world of mopar, right? that's what me thinks too....
"it looks a lot like an old Nova I had back in the 70's"..... ...... ......:banghead:
Ok, so the body lines are Similar, I will give you that. But C'MON man, if you honestly put the two side by side, walk away, grab a cold one, come back and stare....the Duster is so much nicer looking. When you really compare the two there is no comparison. Mopar's designers put one hell of a lot of thought into each and every line on the car. Making sure that what they put out there was proportional and looked good from every angle. and it really does.
Then you take the "peoples choice" nova.....is it my imagination, or is the roof line terrible on these things, and the rear side glass is way out of proportion.
idk...just my .02
heres a nova for you
