Garage Kept Motors.) The Plymouth Duster is Mopar's
underappreciated mini muscle car -Hagerty Media, October 2020
Hagerty went on to explain their view: Mopar built some of the
loudest, gaudiest, most cartoonish muscle cars of the '60s and
'70s. They were perfect. You couldn't ask more from a muscle car.
Consequently, muscle car fans have driven the prices for the
hottest Mopars into the stratosphere. Plymouth 'Cudas and Road
Runner can demand six figures when equipped with the right
powertrain and color options. Plymouth Dusters, on the other hand,
are still attainable, even when equipped with desirable
powertrains. Sure, they didn't pack 440 or 426 power, but they also
weighed less than the B-body Road Runner and Satellite and make an
excellent platform for a street or strip car. As to the Duster 340,
they added: From 1970�€"73, the Duster 340 offered up a potent
small-block package with the same high-revving power as the 'Cuda.
Offered here is a beautifully original, perfectly preserved,
numbers-matching 1972 Plymouth Duster 340 in Hemi orange (code V2)
over white with black accents. Showing 89,044 miles on its
odometer, fewer than 1,850 miles per-year on average since new, the
car is a respectfully treated, all-original true survivor. It
couldn't have looked much nicer when it was delivered to its first
owner 50 years ago. The car's exterior Hemi orange non-metallic
paint is in exceptional condition: uniformly glossy across the
entire car. Body-panel alignment is excellent. A full Duster 340
graphics and striping package in black-including the cartoon Duster
guy graphic on the side stripes and rear deck. There is no
mistaking this Duster for anything but the street-performance
muscle car it is. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim
finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the
car in the accompanying gallery.) The chrome trim, bumpers, grille,
and badging on the car are original and in excellent condition; in
the same way, cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and
undamaged. Original silver-painted, 14-inch, steel rally wheels
(with brushed-metal center hubs and trim rings) are mounted with
fresh Cooper® Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter (with blackwall
side mounted facing out) performance tires for a period-correct
look. Oval-shaped chrome dual-exhaust tips on the car are
factory-original. The car's original interior is in place. Front
split-bench seat and the rear bench seat are upholstered in
horizontally pleated white vinyl in outstanding original condition;
there are no rips or tears. The factory dashboard in black,
black-painted upper door panels, and black cabin carpeting add
contrast to the white. Factory woodgrain dash trim remains in place
surrounding the analog instrumentation. There have been no
modifications or replacement of gauges, and the factory-installed
push-button AM radio and slide-lever heat and ventilation controls
also remain in place. The automatic-transmission shift lever is
mounted on the steering column to the rear of the black, 3-spoke
steering wheel with Dodge-Division logo emblem. (Please view the
close-up photography in the gallery to assess the condition of the
Duster's interior surfaces.) Under the hood, the perfectly clean
and orderly engine bay is a Mopar fan's visual delight: the 340
cubic-inch V8 with 4 Barrel-labeled air cleaner and valve covers m
