Yes I agree with some better parts for sure. But,,,I also hate on the 73 up Duster, plastic inside A trim, the plastic upper door trim, child size inside door handles,huge bumpers, with that plastic filler, etc. Try finding any of that plastic trim worthy now days. The beaker front does not bother me.

Price/value wise is what i am talking. $$$$$$$...
Any F body, yea I have had 4-5. Any 73 up Nova likewise is worth squat. They don't call them malaise for nuttin!! :poke: :thumbsup:

On a Duster all the A-pillar trim is plastic right from '70 up, Demon had plastic trim for '71/'72 and the Dart Sport of course for '73+. There's no metal A-pillar trim for a Duster or the equivalent Dodge models that share the sport roof.

As for price/value, you can get a '73+ Duster or Dart Sport for less than their '70-'72 counterparts. And if you buy a V8 car or a disk brake optioned /6 you get the BBP brakes. Not sure if you've priced a BBP conversion lately, but it's a significant savings.

And with all that saved money you can swap the front clip and rear bumper and still be money ahead vs buying a '70-72. That's what I did, and despite the Demon conversion I did on my '74 Duster I know I'm money ahead vs buying a '71 Demon, especially when you throw in that my '74 was in far better shape than any of the '71 Demon's I looked at. And I got it for less than half the price.
