This is an original H-code 340 Duster 4 speed. It does not have the original motor. It was replaced at some point in it’s life with a 1968 X-head 340 and was totally rebuilt about 10 years ago. The motor has roller rockers, .202/1.6 valves, 484 purple camshaft, Edelbrock air gap intake, Holley street avenger carb, MSD ignition, Holley fuel pump, ministarter, Mopar performance valve covers, and air cleaner. It runs well doesn’t, over heat and is very strong. It always starts right up and runs great. I have driven it round trip 160 miles once and didn’t skip a beat and that was in summer. It has Hooker headers and Flowmaster exhaust. The clutch is 10 years old, the flywheel has some nicks in the teeth because of the high torque mini starter and sometimes you can hear it when the starter engages, but it always turns over and starts. The flywheel has been like that since I have owned it for 7 years. All new bearings and seals on the wheels this year. All new front end parts this year. It has a 3.91 Sure grip with new Crager Nostalgia S/S 15” rims, 235/60/15 fronts and 235/70/15 rears. The tires are brand new as well. The interior is 2 years old. All new seat covers and buns from Legendary and new carpet. New Sun tac and auto meter gages. The rare original factory 150 speedo works, but the original tac and other gages are not hooked up. I use the trip odometer to know when to fill up. All lights work inside and out. Tuff wheel and the original steering wheel is included. Manual power steering and brakes. Drums all around and they were redone last summer. The original color was B5 blue and approximately 10 years ago it was painted 1969 E-7 Cordovan Irid. by the previous owner. There is no evidence of B-5 anywhere except under the carpet. The paint is an 8 out of 10. The 340 wedge on the hood and the rear Duster panels are decals. The silver 340 stripe is painted and clear coated. There is no rust on the car and is very clean. Underneath as well. I don’t see evidence of any panel replacement. The previous owner had the car for many years in Louisville, Kentucky. I have many receipts and paperwork from this owner. No buildsheet but I do have the fendertag. The car runs great and goes straight down the road. It gets a lot of attention wherever it goes due to the sound and color. The rims give it an old school look which everyone gives a thumbs up. If you want to be inconspicuous this car is not for you. The 340 Duster 4 speed is a rare car with only 4265 cars being built. It is a great car for a show, cruise night or driver. You could keep it as is for many years of use or you could put is back to B-5 blue. Either way it’s a fun car. I am only selling to finish my 71 Road Runner. I have the car insured through Hagerty for $15000 and the yearly premium is only $259. This car is ready to go for the cruising season. I do have many more pics of this car if needed.
