I'm looking into buying a 1971 plymouth duster that has a rebuilt 360CI V8 4 BBL carb engine with automatic tranny. But i don't know much about cars. I'd be using it a few times a week, maybe 100mi a week, and wondering if it would be functional with that

I'd be using it a few times a week, maybe 100mi a week, and wondering if it would be functional with that kind of use. It's just an old car so not sure how long it will last.

That isn't a practicle vehicle to drive every day. That is more for a collector. IT will do very poorly on fuel mileage and prices are to go up.
