I made it back safely to Vegas with my new to me 74 duster! Now i feel like i finally belong as this is my first A body since my last one i sold back in 1989 or so.
The car did great on the trip, it was hot as heck coming across the desert and it never went over 220, usually was running 195 to 210. The car runs great and drives excellent and the manual brakes stop very well. The body is not perfect, it has rust bubbling on both quarters but not rotted thru and some previous repair work that may be bondo cracking the the rear filler panel and on the pasg. side quarter on the upper part. I feel good about my purchase as for what I have seen for sale I feel like I did ok. Thanks everyone for your help I appreciate it.
i forgot to check the K frame but the car tracks straight as an arrow at 70mph, steering is tight, The car is not what I'd call fast, but it has decent get up and go and nice smooth acceleration. It seems to idle high sometimes hen in park, not sure why yet.
