Here's an Allpar link to 1970 and later a-bodies with a little insert on the 1976-only Feather Duster near the end.

Neat cars, along with it's Dodge sister, the Dart Lite. Unfortunately, once people started adding V-8 engines and related stuff, the weight went up quickly. But as was noted, several parts interchanged with ealier years which helped out the older cars. These cars and light parts are getting hard to find. If a hood is found, it's necessary to use the lighter hood springs that came with them, or something modified with reduced tension They are hard to close with standard tension hood springs and want to bend.

Any of you familiar with the Hamburger cars know if this car ever ran in his stable? I bought the car with that understanding and it had some blue and white under the shown livery but never bothered to substantiate it...any help appreciated. Won quite a few races with this one...including a IHRA Divisional in Hot Rod. I bought it with a W2 motor, a simple hoop roll bar and just super stock springs but looks like it had some extra links at one time.

jmcarter, nice looking Duster...do you still own it, or is long gone.

Long gone, being bracket raced in Knoxville TN. I earlier posted my other Duster that Roy Johnson built years ago for IHRA SS. That's the car I'd like to have back...
