Normal 0 This is a real 1970 340 Duster with a matching numbers motor. 340 Engine, 727 Trans, 8 ¾ 3.91 Dana Power Loc (w/correct indicating speedo mph). Manual Steering. Manual Brakes w/OEM 4 piston front disks. Electronic Ignition. Console. Tuff Steering Wheel. 150mph speedo, tach. OEM Jack and Spare which fits correctly front and rear. Dual Sport Mirrors. Day/Night Mirror, Trip Odometer, Cigar Lighter, Dual Note Horns. Aluminized FULL 2.5" exhaust,, Factory Tips. Mopar Performance Timer w/ front wheel sensor. Excellent Tires 215/70/14 Front, 245/60/14 Rear. Chrysler Corp key set. This is the correct exterior for 1970 with the exception of the exhaust tips. Tips are '71 pieces. '70 had rusty steel turndowns. Go wings, spoilers, hood scoops, and 340 hood / side graphics were not offered in 1970. They add flair but are not correct for 1970. Rare to find a real ‘70 340 car that hasn’t been drilled or stickered to add the flair. The exterior color is In-Violet. On Dodge cars it was called Plum Crazy. It is a blue metallic base with iridescent red. You can see the color change in the pictures. Depending on the way the light hits it shows either more blue or more red. It’s a very cool color effect. This is a genuine factory go fast muscle car, not a converted family sedan. For 1970 Chrysler Corp gave Plymouth the go ahead to create the baddest A-body of them all. This format was that result. No PS or PB. The manual steering is much quicker response. No pump to sap horsepower and no belts, hoses and other crap to break or leak. The manual brakes allow for any camshaft since there is no parasitic vacuum draw. With the 4 piston front calipers this car stops quicker and with more control than power brakes. The car doesn’t go sideways. It hooks up, pins you in the seat and leaves whatever is in the other lane in the rear view mirror ! The motor has been balanced and blueprinted and spins up to strong 7,000 RPM. The exhaust note is crisp, exhilarating and literally roars through 2 ½ aluminized pipes all the way out the back. The trans has HD clutches and a shift kit that will give neck snaps. The rear end has Moser Axles, Super Stock Springs and the Dana Power Loc to ensure solid launches and keep the car straight. Unlike Sure-Grip the Dana unit sends equal power to both wheels BEFORE any wheel slippage. The car has zero wheel hop. Note that this car is NOT jacked up with air shocks, shackles and slapper bars. That only results in a tire smoker. The car is setup for weight transfer to the rear wheels for traction. The car was never rotisseried nor was it ever a basket case. Car was painted 22 years ago and still looks awesome. No factory panels have ever been cut off the car. The factory seams are exactly as the factory made them - safe and reliable. Be very careful of cars brought back from the dead or fresh restorations as you will get surprises.The underneath of the car is very nice considering it is 42 years old. Your wouldn't put mirrors under it at the Autorama as there is some slight over spray from when the car was painted. I am 6 miles from the top loop of the Woodward Dream Cruise. This is undoubtedly the largest car cruise in the world. The cruise is always the 3rd Saturday in August every year. This year it falls on the 18th. I am willing to store the car for a buyer until that day when they can take their new car to the cruise and then home from there. This car has participated in the event every year since it started in 1995 and is cruise ready right now. Nightly and weekend cruises are already underway so now is the time to act and Drive in the cruise instead of watching. This storage offer is only to store the car until the 18th. You must purchase the car and complete the financial and title transactions by the terms of this listing. You will own the car. I am only offering to store it for you until that day if you choose to do that. This car is registered with the Hamtramck Registry and a letter of ownership transfer will be provided upon a sale.
