Hello, Up for sale is my 1970 Plymouth Duster 340. It’s anolder restoration with only minimal miles on the completely rebuilt drivetrain. (1,000?) Vehicle is a numbersmatching H code 340 car with a firm, not harsh, manual shift body 727transmission and an 8 ¾ rear differential with open 3.23 gearing. Car isfinished in a basecoat/clear coat of factory burnt orange metallic done back in2012 like the full restoration. Paint is very smooth and shiny and was sprayed outvery nicely. It does have a few nicks from age but no scratches. Body is laser straight with unbelievable shutlines and gaps. The metal appears to be all original with repairs being made tothe typical areas in front of and behind the rear wheels. Otherwise rockers,frame rails, floors and trunk are rock solid. All glass is good too with noscratches to any of the side glass and only minimal chips/wear to thewindshield. VIEW THIS 3 MINUTE VIDEO Body is as I mentioned laser straight. But is does have somebubbling on the lower left side forward of the rear wheel and the lower rightside rear of the wheel. (See photos) It’s hardly noticed when standing next tothe vehicle and really doesn’t take away from this truly super straight shinymuscle car. Also there’s a slight dent in the front center section of the hood.(See photo) Bumpers are what look to be original to the vehicle and are showingtheir age and could use re-chroming to take the car to the next level. Tiresare BFG Radial T/As with plenty of life left mounted on 14” factory rallywheels. Interior is very nice with a few patched holes in theheadliner. Nothing slightly. It has newer carpet, dash pad, new Legendary Interiors front seat foam andseat covers as well as a nice woodgrain floor shift console. Rear seat isoriginal as well as the door and rear side panels and are in great condition.The rally dash is fully functional including tachometer and all gauges. Although after 50 years, I do question theiraccuracy. AM radio is partially there just for looks. All dash lights, interiorlights, cigar lighter, E brake light, headlights, directional lights, flashers,fan speed and heater controls function as they should. Wipers work but do nopark. The engine is the numbers matching 340. It’s relatively new whenit comes to mileage (under 1,000 miles) but age dates back to 2012. It’s builtto stock specs with its original “X” series cylinder heads, up graded Mopar electronicignition and only an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold and Edelbrock 600CFM electric choke carburetor. Exhaust exits through factory HP exhuastmanifolds and out a stock sounding dual turndown tip exhaust. Car has its factory 4 piston manual front disc brakes,tinted windows, seat belts and shoulder harnesses and a remote left sidemirror. No Power Steering. The car has a lot of new components including all new (2012)suspension components. I.E. rear leaf springs, 4 shocks, all tie rods, torsionbars and bushings, upper control arm bushings, all ball joints, pitman arm andidler arm. All replaced. Same with the brakes... new hoses and full lengthlines, rotors, drums, pads, shoes, calipers, wheel cylinders, brake cables andhardware. Fuel lines, fuel tank, sending unit and fuel pump all new or newer. Car was like I mentioned earlier, restored back 2012 butrarely driven. Then it sat 3 years, then it was sold and sat again for 5 more years,two of which were outside in the element under a car cover. That’s when the cardeveloped the bubbling issues. A realshame to such a nice car. But now it’s been refreshed, revived and back tobeing enjoyed…ready for a new home. To conclude, the car drives and tracks straight down theroad with no pulling or darting. There are no real noises from the drivetrainexcept a slight rear differential whine that’s only heard at between the speedsof 48 and 54 MPH when the gas pedal is lightly applied. Coasting the noise isnot heard. Remarkably there are no rattles or wind noise when driving. Alsocurrently no fluid leaks what so ever. Car is really tight. It’s a prettyamazing car considering its 50 years old. I tried to be as accurate as possible with mydescription and condition of the vehicle. But I’m sure I missed something.
