The Duster 340 is one of the most desirable A-body Mopars out there. Available from 1970-73, it represents the pinnacle of Duster performance and represents a bargain amongst 6-figure Cudas and Chargers. This 1972 model is the real deal and a great example of what made these cars so much fun. It is an eye-catching machine with its Lemon Twist paint and Duster graphics, but also features a numbers-matching engine and transmission along with a broadcast sheet.
Built in January 1972, this Duster is a solid car and does not suffer from any rust problems. It has seen a repaint in its original color of FY1 Lemon Twist. It also received new black graphics that really stand out against the body color. Additional features include a dual snorkel hood scoop and a “Go Wing” rear spoiler. The bumpers, moldings, and grille are all in good shape. So are the Rallye wheels and BF Goodrich tires (215 front, 245 rear). Note the factory fender tag remains in place too.
As mentioned, this car retains its original H-code 340ci 4-barrel motor which was the biggest setup available for the 1972 Duster. Features include a Thermoquad carburetor and solid state ignition. Everything appears stock with the exception of headers and an aluminum radiator. The engine is mated to the numbers-matching Torqueflite 727 automatic transmission with an aftermarket torque converter. This is followed by a Sure Grip 8-3/4” rear end (2881489 casting) with 3.23 gears. Other equipment includes power steering and manual brakes which perform very well on this size car.
The black interior looks terrific and is nicely accented by the optional C16 center console and woodgrain panels. The front bucket seats are in great shape as is the rear bench. Shoulder belts are in place for both front occupants. Modifications include an aftermarket steering wheel along with a vintage Realistic head unit and Super Sound Boomers bass booster. There is also a tachometer mounted to the center console. All gauges work properly as to the horn, wipers, washers, lights, heater, defroster, turn signals, and parking brake. This Duster is in the Chrysler registry as of 1-30-03 and includes a broadcast sheet and Golen Gavier report.
You have to hit a few car shows to see a 340 Duster like this one. There just aren’t that many out there, especially with their original drivetrain and fender tag. And not only is an A-body (Duster, Dart, etc.) more nimble than the mammoth B-body cars (Charger, Road Runner, etc.), but their size and price make it much easier to get in your garage too.
