1971 duster

Out of factory Your Duster should have had this steering wheel (without pentastar in center):

I believe this steering wheel came on a 1972 model . I noticed the speedometer is measured in kph not mph and the factory tach would have been in the instrument cluster not on the hood. Nice looking Chrysler in the background

The steering wheel is stock - it came with the Duster to Vienna, Austria in 1971, built for export (KPH-speedo); the car came without tach (and radio), the hood mounted tach is aftermarket, more here:

I noticed the speedometer and I thought that it might have been an export vehicle? You advised that "out of factory your duster should have this steering wheel (without pentastar in center)" . To be sure what wheel was on the car he should look at his build sheet. That will tell the tale no matter what we think. Again I believe unless the original purchaser up graded to a "tuff" wheel the car would come with the 3 spoke low trim wheel. Just my opinion.

Just thought I'd post these. The three wheels are the one that would come standard issue in a 1971 340 duster in my opinion.

Yes I have three mainly because they were removed years ago and replaced with wheels similar to the one shown on your car. We did silly things when we were younger.
 
If it came with the tuff wheel it came with a one year only horn cap covered with leather and had a chrome rim...hard to find!!! similar to the ones on the aspens/volare but piping in leather doesn't have stitching exposed and is more beveled
 
Not sure if it is lighting or not. The upper door frames look glossy. They should be organisol finish of the hood.

Awesome car. Love the A4 color.
 
Today I installed under hood items, hood to radiator support, insulator, rear hood cowl
Plus finder to hood rubber and windshield washer line

Hello Tayseer, just wanted to follow up on your question. We have 5 GA4 V24 cars in the registry, actually kinda high on the list considering there’s just shy of 50 cars in the registry. Falling in at #3 with just EV2 and FJ6 on top.

Just wondering if you're talking about a V24 option only registry ?? I wasn't aware of such. Where would GF7 come in ??

We have 2 GF7 cars both with very vague information. One is a 4speed and one not specified. I need more info on one with a sequence number of 164016……might that be yours?? PM me if so, we could use any info on these cars that we can get! If it’s not yours and we can get yours in the registry, please….contact me! Thankyou in advance.
