Slap on some chrome wheels and a 69 Valiant grille and you got something decent

Nice rendition. I am probably in the minority but I'm not a fan of the sharkstooth grill though, it's just too many people have done it. I do LOVE the 69 Valiant grill.

100 times better then the sharktoot grille

Especially on a 70-72 duster where the horizontal slats of that grille match the tail lights

Some guy in MD, put a 68 Dart front clip on a 73? Dart sport. It looked pretty dang good.

"never was' ?

The 1970 Valiant with a 340 was called the 1970 Valiant Duster 340. ;-)

I do LOVE the 69 Valiant grill.

Me too.I had a 68 Valiant and had thoughts of making it a 69.Then I sold the car.

I like it. A bit like the "green brick"

 

[OldmanRick]

I used to think about what if Ply. did a 68'/69' plain jane 340 Valiant to match the Dart, but that would have eaten the 383 RR's lunch...lol

Any front clip is better than the "bird beak"

AND, 1970 was the best looking of all, due to its simplicity. Hands down.

Short video of a nice 70 Valiant Duster 340.

I do find it interesting that the 340 was offered in both 21 and 29 body Dodge cars, but only 29 body Plymouth's.

That is identical to the car my brother bought new in Virginia.

We have a member here that made one and posted it recently. It's totally badass, too. Looks factory.

Slap on some chrome wheels and a 69 Valiant grille and you got something decent

Or at least chrome lugs and center caps

I give up. I suck at findin things on here. It was like a silver or grey I think.

I've always wanted to build a factory correct looking 400 72 Challenger and/or 383/400 Duster.

I had a guy bragging to me at a cruise-in a couple weeks ago that he had a '70 Valiant 340/4speed he was working on. Numbers matching!
I said "Oh, a Duster?"
He replied with "No, its a valiant, it looks like yours, only a plymouth"
I have a '70 340 Swinger.
Another random guy showing up at a show (without a car) bragging about **** he doesn't even know about.
