Match Race 1972 ~ 'Duster 340 vs 'GTO 400'

Last thing the GTO saw before the rods fell out.

My best friend Rick ordered a new 1972 340 Duster. It arrived in late Winter and as soon as Dragway 42 opened in the Spring we were there. It was Sherwood Green like the picture in the above post. I still have a couple pictures of the car on the strip when he ran it. It was right off the street
showroom stock and by now the car had about 5000 miles on it. The one and ONLY change from stock was it had G70-14 Goodyear Polyglas tires on the rear. (Rick was originally from Akron and always used Goodyear tires and his family always used their garages for service work)

He only made one pass, 3.23 SG and 4 speed. It ran 14.51.
