Oh ,okay. I just visualized the decal emblem.
Then make a Dart out of it, as someone said.

Visually, more like the Dart than the Duster; both "A" body family members though.

One other problem you are going to run into is finding some of the
parts needed. You are going to be fighting with the restoration guys
for things like good AVS cores, heads, intakes, blocks. So if this is
the route you wish to take, start shopping EBay and www.moparts.com
and any mopar specific swap meets you can attend. The couple of
big one's at at Carlial (sp?) PA and the Nationals in Columbus which
is in August. Plus anyplace else you can come up with.

When the guys on here say buy a complete car they know what they
are talking about.

My project Duster was a "sort of" running car, but had been sitting
for many years, so when I got it the starting list was brakes/rotors/gas
tank/roll bar/driveshaft loop and all other safety equipment plus guages.
My $4K project is now over $10K and I am getting close to have it up
and running. Minus a fresh paint job of course.

So when you see stockers in the $15K to $25K range believe the guy
when he says he has more into it that the asking price.

Anyway good luck with your project.

It would probably have to be a SS GT car.

none in stock

Probably in the F, G, H, I range in IHRA, depending on the HP rating. It is a faily light car.

It wouldn't work in SS/GT anywhere because small block crate motors are allowed a 750 Holley with choke tower & plate.
