And the plastic grills, plastic interior trim, cardboard headliners, smog equipment.
I agree. Hate the interior plastic, and cardboard headliner, I usually do not even install a headliner in any car anymore! Period, just shoot Body Schultz (undercoating) on it!! But the 70-1 had plastic grills too! I have no issue personally, with the looks of the car front or back. I dislike the safety bumpers, but hey, they are great if you bump something at 5 mph! I had a 74 dart sport 318 car I drove 65 miles one way every day to a job for six months back bout '98. Loved driving that car. I could not see its beak from the drivers seat anyway!
Problem so many people just have a problem with any car made after 71 or maybe 2.... OK so the hp rating went from gross to net, and as time marched on in the 70;s, yes, less hp and smog stuff started showing up. The exception to this is the F>M>J>R guys. They love their 70's and 80's cars, and a truly rabid enthusiasist bunch.
Yes RRR, that McCandless Duster's paint is COOL! cool car too for sure!
