1972 Duster 340 (Tribute) - Southeast, Michigan area
$20,000 OBO
(I have always regretted selling my grandfather's 66 Belvedere II, so I will consider a trade on a 1966 Belvedere/Satellite or 1967 Belvedere/Satellite/GTX)
1972 Plymouth Duster
92,*** miles on rust-free body
1200 (approximately) miles on engine
Located in a northwest suburb of Detroit, Michigan
Unfortunately time has come to think about selling my Duster. I put on less than 100 miles last year and with things going on in my life the car has become low priority. That being said I don't need to sell the car but will consider letting it go with the right caretaker.
For the nit-pickers it is not a 340 car, it started life with a 318. I call it a "tribute" and not a "clone" because I didn't follow what Chrysler's formula exactly...I picked some of the parts I liked best such as the hood scoop, seat covers that are from a later year and it was repainted an earlier paint scheme (but original Rally Red). Along with adding some other personal touches like the chin spoiler.
Opening up the hood and you will see performance...not factory...but something you could be proud of to show. I converted the car to a big bolt pattern, added front disk brakes and new Draglites...unlike the factory. People are always impressed with my attention to detail.
This car came from Colorado originally and is incredibly rust-free, so I would invited anyone with in driving distance to come look at the car. It wasn't a barn find, this car has always lead a sheltered and pampered life with the original owner being a school teacher. The under body has never been detailed, simply cleaned up when worked on, all the sheet metal is original to the car. When I bought it, it was in original paint but unfortunately the PO felt the need to spray bomb spots on the car trying to cover up all the door dings.
I am sure there is a lot I have left out, this is not a perfect car but a real fine example of a past era, a car that anyone would be proud to own, drive and show.
If you are interested...let's talk...
