I had a 318-3spd Duster with the low 3.08 first gear between the bucket seats and 3.21’s out back. *I think* it was a ‘73. Also having a moon roof and fold down rear seat. It was pretty peppy off the line for a bone stock 318.
Hyup; 3.08 x 3.21= 9.89 right in the thick of "pretty Peppy".
I think 73 was the last year for lightweight Dusters.
I had a 73 Duster as well, but an auto. When it comes to short-wb cars I have had at least one of nearly every year from 65 to 80, except years 75 and 76.... it took me a while to warm up to those sideways T-bars.
