If it had a vinyl roof it would code V1X for black. The only other 3 colors are white V1W, Gold V1Y & Green V1F
V01 would be body colored roof or monotone...

Side stripe code would be V6X black or V6W white......Transverse or tail panel stripes would be V8X black or V8W White. Delete side stripes would be V68, Delete transverse V88

To bad it’s not a triple black car, I still love it anyhow!
Did lots of those 340 cars have a bench seat?

Lots did. Buckets were an option...most of the time. It really mostly depended on whether it was a factory HP package that included bucket seats or not. People liked bench seats back then and unless it was part of some sort of performance package that already came with buckets, few spent the extra money to get buckets

I honestly like the bench seat

From the 42 years of experience I have accumulated I can tell you it seems to be half and half....

Performance had nothing to do with it.

"Do you think the car is rare with its option for bench seat/340/4speed.
Thanks I value your opinion. The bottom is covered with a undercoating that’s pealing off in places and a lot of rust in all the normal places."
Not as much as the color black. 1972 Duster340 production was 15,681 total. Of that 15,681 approx 1.6% were painted black, the least desired color due to being hot in summer and hard to keep clean. Doing quick math you can calculate approx 250 black cars were produced. This in itself creates the rarity. Four speed vs automatic cars is not known or at least as far as I know. If someone has that factory info pleased let me know.
J55 is the code for undercoat with hood pad. This code can be found on the vehicles build sheet if your lucky enough to find it. Do not confuse undercoat for wheel well sound deadener which all cars received.

Are you going to be doing a restoration or at least getting it back on the road? Maybe selling it?
Send Garth a pm. He might sell it to you. It's definately worth saving.
