Vehicle Description
1972 Plymouth Duster (Stock #310) This was a 2 year restoration
process And completed in 2020 Restored Condition from the body shop
owner This build is the result of years of work. It began life as
Grandma's 1972 Gold Duster 318 2v Sunday driver; no wrecks or other
body damage. It is currently powered by a built 1968 LA small block
with the appropriate 340 dress-up parts under the hood. Lots of
power, a streetable hydraulic performance cam, 4v aluminum Hi Rise
intake, 4v carburetor, exhaust headers, electronic ignition, and
more make for a powerful and reliable daily driver. The rear end is
an A-body 8 � unit built by Dutchman Motorsports and featuring a
3.55 Limited Slip rear end, heavy-duty large bolt-pattern Dutchman
axles, new bearings, seals etc. The front hubs were also upgraded
to the same size bolt pattern, and features front disc brakes. The
4-speed has also been serviced, and is now shifted through a Pistol
Grip shifter (white ball shifter included as well). Clutch and
brakes are good. Engine runs STRONG, starts easily, and sounds
great with headers and new dual exhaust. Power steering, manual
brakes. The body was disassembled as need including trim,
weatherstrip, and glass prior to bodywork and paint prep. It was
then treated to professional bodywork including stud gun and
hammer-and dolly metal-finish to achieve as close to factory-new
fit and finish before any minimal body filler was applied. The
Duster was then painted in beautiful high-end RM Diamont /
Glasurite two-stage base/clear; a gorgeous contemporary take on
Mopar's original B5 Medium Blue factory paint finish. The underside
of hood was also painted to match body, as were the firewall and
cowl. The glass is nice all around, with the window regulators
serviced and operating well. The wheel openings were then detailed
to compliment the new paint. The trim was cleaned and polished
prior to being reinstalled. The roofline features the racy � black
vinyl top which compliments the blue nicely, as do the new 340
Ramcharger hood scoops and Go Wing rear pedestal spoiler. New 340
body side and rear panel decals round out the black accents. I
replaced the front bumper with new (some pics still show old), and
the rear bumper is original and very nice. Up front, a new "Shark
Tooth" 340-specific front grill has been installed *(expensive,
over $1,100.00!), the headlamp buckets detailed, painted brackets,
etc. The door-mounted Sport Mirrors are painted to match. A new
chrome front bumper resides out front, with a nice original rear
bumper The interior has been cleaned, detailed, and restored as
needed, including carpet kit, split-back front bucket seat
upholstery, and more. Great dash pad without breaks or cracks. It
is more than presentable, very nice in my opinion. The wheels are
freshly powder-coated, and have new trim rings and restored center
caps. The tires are in nice condition too Check out over 50 pics
