This 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 H-Code is an exceptional and highly
documented example of one of Mopar's most respected muscle cars,
presented today in outstanding condition following a rotisserie
restoration completed around 2017. This car is particularly special
due to its rarity, documentation, and originality, making it a true
standout even among serious collectors. It is one of only
approximately 100 V24 cars known to remain in the registry, and
remarkably, one of just four finished in Sno White, placing it in
extremely rare company.
Built on April 20, 1971, as indicated by the fender tag date code,
this Duster was assembled at the Hamtramck plant and retains
matching VIN stamps on the fender tag, radiator support, and rear
valance. The car still wears most of its original sheet metal, a
critical detail for collectors, and the Hamtramck-issued fender tag
remains intact with all body numbers present through to the front
radiator support stamp. A welded-in frame connector has been added
to enhance structural rigidity while maintaining a factory-correct
appearance.
Power comes from a date-coded May 1971 340 cubic inch V8, paired
with its original 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission and
original Sure Grip rear axle equipped with desirable 3.55 gearing.
This drivetrain combination delivers the performance and
drivability that made the Duster 340 legendary when new. Power
steering, front disc brakes, and power brakes further enhance the
driving experience without detracting from originality.
Visually, the car is striking and correct, featuring the factory
V24 Performance Hood Treatment with 340 callouts, complemented by
the J45 hood tie-down pins and the original J81 rear spoiler. The
V6X black longitudinal sport stripe and V8X transverse stripe
complete the aggressive factory look. The car was originally
equipped with a black V1X vinyl top, which was removed by a
previous owner after the restoration, allowing the Sno White finish
to take center stage. Additional exterior details include the
organosol-finished upper door frames, chrome dual exhaust tips,
roof drip rail moldings, wide sill moldings, and correct hood and
fender-mounted turn signals.
Inside, the car was well-optioned from the factory, featuring
bucket seats with a center console, the A01 Light Package, A04
Basic Radio Group, AM Music Master radio, tinted windshield,
variable-speed wipers, trunk compartment light, and dual chrome
mirrors with left-hand remote control. These options combine to
create a cabin that is both functional and authentically
representative of a well-equipped performance Mopar from this
era.
This Duster 340 is a rare opportunity to acquire a documented,
numbers-matching, rotisserie-restored example with exceptional
provenance, highly desirable factory options, and standout rarity
in both configuration and color. With its strong mechanical
foundation, meticulous restoration, and extensive originality, it
is truly a must-see car that represents the pinnacle of early 1970s
Mopar muscle.
