Duster 340 not a muscle car...

Buying car Insurance in 1968, I can say that The Insurance company opinion of what a Muscle car was mattered the most, as Any small or Intermediate car with over 275 HP was charged a 50% premium hike for any driver under 25 years old. That is why I believe Chrysler rated the 340 at 275 HP in 1968, although it was really higher. My best friend back then Wanted a 1969 Charger 383, but the 290 HP two barrel was too expensive, so he bought the 69' lemans 350, at 265 HP. He wished years later he had stepped up, as he always pined for a Charger. All I could afford was a 60' Desoto, which I pine for now as well! To me any 340 car was and always be a Muscle car, they didn't call them baby Hemis's back then for no reason. Ask any Ford guy, they mention 340 Dusters the most, out of respect.
