After mostly finishing the mechanical upgrades on my Duster I'm surprised MORE people don't do this. I had an idea of what my Duster would handle like with the mods I had planned, but it blows me away how well it actually handles. It totally surpassed my goals, even after having already set up my Challenger with a similar set up. Granted, with the 16:1 manual steering and 275's up front its not the most user friendly, but it handles spectacularly, and that's not just for an old mopar. Sure, my g/f's 2013 mustang is a lot easier to drive because of the adjustable sport steering and traction control, but I don't think it actually handles much better.
Considering that I got a super clean '74 Duster for $2k, I don't see why they aren't everywhere. The '73-76 cars are perfect for this. Relatively cheap and fairly plentiful for a musclecar era ride, and no worries really about the collectibility/resale for most of them. What else do you do with a '73-76?
