Back in the 70's mopar offered some sort of A body kit /race car
base on Duster/Demon. Anyone know the story behind this?

It was a richard petty wanna be race car look. Gas prices kinda killed it tho.

Here's a link to the Petty "kit car" option http://www.allpar.com/model/aspen.html the specific data is about 2/3 down the page.

Volare. Came roll cage ,suspension stuff.Remember as kid
seeing it in a hot rod mag.

I believe that the kit was used to race the car as a dirt track. If I remember correctly, the car came with a disassembled roll cage that needed to be welded together, and a sheetmetal body kit. The car used small block engines (usually either 340 or 360) and 4 speed manual (owner supplied). I can't remember if the rear end was included or not. It was sold thru Direct Connection.

Yes thats it
