Vehicle Description
The punchy appeal of the small-block V8-engine-equipped A-body is
well-known to the Mopar faithful. This 1972 Plymouth Duster
underwent a frame-off restoration for a return to lightweight
rear-wheel-drive glory. At the core of the Duster is the 340ci V8
engine. Topped with a 4-barrel carburetor and backed by a 3-speed
TorqueFlite automatic transmission, the engine was rated for 240
plenty-of-fun horsepower in the 3,000-pound car. Power steering and
brakes make for assured road handling. The restoration covered
everything from the dual hood scoops and the 340 badging to the
detailed torsion bar suspension. The bucket-seat interior features
a center console with wood-grain shifter and an Alpine CD player
stereo to complement the dual-exhaust V8 sound. A Vintage Air
climate control system keeps the cabin comfortable. The Duster
rides on optional Rallye wheels shod with modern BFGoodrich radial
T/A tires. Previously in a private collection. Top-notch
restoration.
