Hmmm....... halfastback.......It's known as a semi-fastback
Hey all,
I was talking the other day with a few buddies about my Duster and they said that according to Wikipedia(I know not reliable at all) the Duster is a semi-fastback. My argument is no it isn’t as it doesn’t slope to the back of the car, so who’s right here? Is it a fastback, semi-fastback, or neither? Lmk thanks!
The Barracuda was clearly referred to as a Fastback in all the literature. It used the all inclusive sport roof VIN, there was no point in having a different VIN for each different roofline.Mopar used the term "sports roof" all inclusively.
That is a nice sentiment to have but not entirely reasonable or accurate.It's your car. It's whatever you think it is.
Well you know, "these days" anything goes. lolThat is a nice sentiment to have but not entirely reasonable or accurate.
THIS isn't exactly a woman no matter what IT claims to be:

The Duster is classified as a fastback due to the relationship of the angle difference between the rear window and trunk lid. Look at the 73 Mustang for example...Sure, it is a hideous car but the entire window lays at barely 1 1/2 degrees from true horizontal.
The 64-66 Barracudas were true fastbacks, as were the 66-67 Chargers, All Dusters/Demons and Dart Sports and of course the specific 67-69 Barracuda.
