Vehicle Description
1972 Plymouth Duster 340
The Duster, Chrysler's sporty competitor for the Chevy Nova and
Ford Maverick, resulted from the Plymouth division's desire to use
allotted 1970 restyling money for something more exciting than
their usual two and four-door Valiants. If you're a hardcore Mopar
fan who wants a smoking hot A-body to cruise around in and shred
tires with, you've found your next car!
For consignment a fully restored Duster 340. This is a turnkey car
for a Mopar fanatic who wants to get into the muscle car game for a
very reasonable price. Tor Red paint will attract lots of eyeballs,
and the combination of the 1972 340 and the light duty transmission
with a column shifter will keep you under the insurance radar!
Exterior
This car bathed in Tor Red for the Plymouth (Hemi Orange for the
Dodge) appears in overall very nice condition. Sculpted body
panels, which add an unmistakable 70s flavor to the car's vintage
design, are detailed with correct, new-for-1972 surface-mount
marker lights. Between those marker lights, bold "DUSTER" fender
stripes combine with slick fender mounted turn signal indicators to
perfectly complement traditional chrome door handles and a stylish
driver's mirror. And at the back of the car, a white valence hangs
a centered "DUSTER 340" script between broad tail lights, a second
original bumper and traditional stainless exhaust tips. MOPAR steel
wheels with polished trim rings are seen all around. The straight
hood is emblazoned with the 340 Wedge graphic and has no hood
scoops to speak of.
Interior
A luxury vinyl bench seat stretches from black diamond paneled door
to door. A rear bench is seen behind, and all seats are firm to the
touch and show very little wear. True black carpeting floods the
floors and nifty "Duster" branded floor mats are seen. A black dyed
wood veneer dash houses near perfect gauges, the rectangular speedo
radio and temperature controls. This veneer stretches to the
glovebox, where it turns to brown wood adding an interesting
contrast. Upper padded dash is very clean, and no cracks are seen.
Lastly the headliner is pretty much showroom condition. The trunk
presents with Avery nice liner, and totally new paint and rust
free.
Drivetrain
A 340ci V8 sits in a beautiful engine bay, and sports a Mopar
Performance intake manifold, long tube headers, a correct Mopar
blue engine paint, and a chrome Holley air cleaner. It is not known
is this is a numbers matching engine, however it was verified that
it is the original 904 Light Duty automatic transmission, shifted
from the column.
Undercarriage
Very clean, rustproofed and rust free with what appears to be a new
fuel tank and upgraded dual exhaust. Manual drum brakes are all
around, manual steering, and chrome exhaust tips. And a thorough
examination of all the car's bushings, lines and hoses ensures it
has road going reliability to match its eyeball-popping curb
appeal.

340ci V8 drivetrain in Tor Red aesthetics that are guaranteed to
turn heads. It's the perfect way for any enthusiast to grab a neat
old car and enjoy every aspect of the hobby!
