Vehicle Description
A good 1971 Plymouth Duster like this one was the way to get a
truly fast muscle machine. Just like the Chevrolet Nova, but rarer,
this Mopar packed plenty of power into a compact, lightweight body.
And this example even has some extra alluring features, like its
original 340 V8, a four-on-the-floor, and iconic High Impact
paint.
Dusters always have a heighten desirability that comes from
aggressive design. They carry the Coke-bottle curves that we love
to see in other legendary Mopars like the 'Cuda. And the big blocky
front end looks like it wants to push traffic out of the way with
its shining chrome bumper. But we're willing to bet it's not the
chrome that got your attention at first. Nope. That bold Top Banana
from the legendary High Impact color palette is always a looker.
And this factory-correct color was resprayed later in life to
retain more luster. It's the perfect attention-grabber to showcase
all the great details. This includes the well-coordinated dark side
with black side stripes and a matte black hood with cool glossy
black callouts. And the Cragar SS wheels are always a nice touch on
a classic performance machine.
At first glance, this looks like a well maintained factory
interior. The black goes as nicely with the exterior colors, and
everything feels good - right down to the classic Mopar steering
wheel. But this was actually born a bench seat car, and so they
upgraded to the correct high-back buckets for extra comfort. Plus,
the Hurst shifter and column-mounted tach are two upgrades we know
you'll enjoy together.
When you pop the hood, you'll find out that the big callout on that
hood didn't lie. It's a 340 cubic-inch V8, and it's dressed to
impress. While plenty of people will marvel at the bold yellow
engine bay, Mopar fans will love how authentic this
numbers-matching powerplant looks. The V8 inhales deeply from the
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as long tube
headers add more power while also contributing to the rumble of the
dual exhaust. And you get full control over the power and growling
soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual. This coupe has the
right look, the right color, the right power, and quite
importantly, the right price. So don't miss out, call today!
