I had a 340 duster quick car. 340 definitely underrated small block
The various body details of that era Pontiac were gorgeous.
Later on, when Pontiacs thickened, they looked so porcine. That was before GM made Pontiacs look horrible.

I had lot's of muscle cars back in the day. Only two were Pontiacs one was the 1980 Indy 500 pace car and the other was just a 1971 Firebird with a 350 cu. in. engine which neither one were very powerfull. I always went for the Camaro's, Chevelle's and Nova's. After the muscle cars era was starting to age I shifted to Corvette's and bought them because I didn't really like to wrench on older cars. I would buy low mileage cars that just needed basic oil and filter changes and would rather be a windshield wally driving around instead of spending my time fixing old muscle cars. My favorites are the Hurst Olds, Pontiac Judge, and Buick GSX.
The Duster was a awesome vehicle. Even the 225 Slant Six was awesome. Back in the day my buddy had a Duster [3.3] and we went from the Bronx to Seaside Heights every weekend. No issues with it. Even the a/c worked great.
Time to add another car to the fleet!
The slant 6 was bulletproof and the duster was a fun cheap good looking car especially used..When I was young you could grab a used duster for a few hundred bucks
Slant 6 was one of the 1st real long runners. Great engine.
They were prodigious oil leakers if you didn't replace the spark plug tube seals every few spark plug changes.
