My 1972 Plymouth Duster 340 Mopar Muscle car is an original Duster 340 car that is factory equipped with a 4 speed manual transmission, the original VIN plate, matching number 340 engine, and correct fender tag. It has a Mopar Dual Snorkel hood scoop mounted to the steel hood, '340 only' SHARKS TOOTH Grill (in excellent condition), and the correct Mopar rear wing/trunk lid/mounting hardware on the steel deck lid. The car was originally purchased in GA, then sold to a family who primarily used the car for hobby and shows. I purchased it from owner #3 who bought it to replace the 340 Duster he had in high school. After sitting in storage for 7 years he decided it was time to let it go. I've owned the car two and a half years and have also decided to change directions. This car is very original cosmetically; the running gear has been upgraded to a higher performance level. It's running a mid to high level performance CAM that was identified as a Mopar Purple Shaft model. I have never been inside the engine and could not guarantee those claims, but the car runs and idles fine on premium pump fuel. Other upgrades include an MSD ignition & coil, Holley 750 cfm carb on an Edelbrock aluminum intake (w/new American made fuel tank), exhaust headers w/Flowmaster mufflers and rectangular exhaust tips, and a 7 quart Moroso oil pan. I was also told that the Mopar 833 4 speed transmission (w/Hurst shifter and white cue ball shift knob) is equipped with a new clutch (trans/clutch works as it should). The sub frames have been neatly connected, the drive shaft has a safety hoop and the rear end is the original type 8 3/4" Mopar with a 3.91 gear and SURE GRIP (posi) center section mounted on new Mopar Super Stock leaf springs. The engine is VERY STRONG. I have never pushed it even close to hard. Gauges include a working factory speedometer and water temperature gauge in the dash, a 4" tachometer mounted discreetly just below the dash along with a 3" Stewart Warner brand oil pressure gauge. The Dupont base/clear paint and body work are show quality, nice black bench seat interior- door panels/armrests/rear seat are in great shape, front bench is nice with no large holes/tears/rips but shows some cracking, brand new molded carpet and dash pad, clean/tidy trunk (note: battery has been relocated to the trunk and includes a positive disconnect switch- easy to relocate under the hood if desired), detailed engine/bay, plus NEW CHROME bumpers and very nice Cragar SS mags all around-14" in front look nice, 15" in bac- new and never wet! Tires have good tread w/even wear, no cracking, but age is unknown. This car starts/runs/drives/stops very well. Please note that this is a 40 year old raw Detroit Muscle car and had few options-no power steering or brakes. You won't mistake it for a grocery getter. I'm a retired Mopar enthusiast/owner - not a dealer. I possess the proper FL title which is in my name. The car is located in NORTH FLORIDA (Tallahassee) just 30 miles south of the GA border directly on I-10. Fender tag and decode are listed below. PLEASE NOTE: Ideally its nice for a buyer to inspect a car before purchase, but that sometimes is not an option. If you choose the BUY IT NOW feature do remember that you bought it when you checked that option, so inspections must be done BEFORE that is chosen if you want to inspect the car. I am available anytime and will be happy to show the car, answer ANY questions or go into details.Call George at 850 264 6658 Eastern time. 1972 Plymouth Duster 1972 Dodge Main, Hamtramck, MI, USAVS29: Plymouth Valiant, Duster, Special, 2 Door Sports Hardtop H2B: 340 240HP(net) 1-4BBL 8 CYL E55: 340 cid 4 barrel V8 275hp D21: 4 Speed Manual Transmission FE5: Red Exterior Color D2X9: Trim - Luxury, Vinyl Bench Seat, Black TX9: Black Diamond Int.
