1971 Plymouth Duster 340 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Ashville, New York, United States
|
This is an original H-code 340 Duster 4 speed. It does not have the original
motor. It was replaced at some point in it’s life with a 1968 X-head 340 and
was totally rebuilt about 10 years ago. The motor has roller rockers, .202/1.6
valves, 484 purple camshaft, Edelbrock air gap intake, Holley street avenger
carb, MSD ignition, Holley fuel pump, ministarter, Mopar performance valve
covers, and air cleaner. It runs well doesn’t, over heat and is very
strong. It always starts right up and runs great. I have driven it round trip
160 miles once and didn’t skip a beat and that was in summer. It has Hooker
headers and Flowmaster exhaust. The clutch is 10 years old, the flywheel has
some nicks in the teeth because of the high torque mini starter and sometimes
you can hear it when the starter engages, but it always turns over and starts.
The flywheel has been like that since I have owned it for 7 years. All new
bearings and seals on the wheels this year. All new front end parts this year.
It has a 3.91 Sure grip with new Crager Nostalgia S/S 15” rims, 235/60/15 fronts
and 235/70/15 rears. The tires are brand new as well.
The interior is 2 years old. All new seat covers and buns from
Legendary and new carpet. New Sun tac and auto meter gages. The rare original
factory 150 speedo works, but the original tac and other gages are not hooked
up. I use the trip odometer to know when to fill up. All lights work inside and
out. Tuff wheel and the original steering wheel is included. Manual power
steering and brakes. Drums all around and they were redone last summer.
The original color was B5 blue and approximately 10 years ago it was
painted 1969 E-7 Cordovan Irid. by the previous owner. There is no evidence of
B-5 anywhere except under the carpet. The paint is an 8 out of 10. The 340
wedge on the hood and the rear Duster panels are decals. The silver 340 stripe
is painted and clear coated. There is no rust on the car and is very
clean. Underneath as well. I don’t see evidence of any panel replacement. The
previous owner had the car for many years in Louisville, Kentucky. I have many
receipts and paperwork from this owner. No buildsheet but I do have the fendertag.
The car runs great and goes straight down the road. It gets a lot of
attention wherever it goes due to the sound and color. The rims give it an old
school look which everyone gives a thumbs up. If you want to be inconspicuous
this car is not for you. The 340 Duster 4 speed is a rare car with only 4265
cars being built. It is a great car for a show, cruise night or driver. You
could keep it as is for many years of use or you could put is back to B-5 blue.
Either way it’s a fun car. I am only selling to finish my 71 Road Runner. I
have the car insured through Hagerty for $15000 and the yearly premium is only $259. This car is ready to go for the cruising season. I do have many more pics of this car if needed. |

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
