1970 Plymouth Duster - Auction - Mill Hall, PA - Just as it had with the Road Runner in 1968, Plymouth hit a muscle car home run in 1970 with the budget-priced Duster 340. The formula for the 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 was familiar. Take a cheap-to-produce platform, in this case a Valiant wearing a new fastback body, and treat it to a hot engine, here Mopar's respected 340ci four-barrel V-8.The determined little Duster was lighter, roomier, and faster than the 340 'Cuda. With a base price of just $2,547, it was the lowest-priced car in Plymouth's Rapid Transit System. And it was the only one with front disc brakes standard.
The 1970 Duster was available in two models — the standard Duster and a performance-oriented Duster 340. Engine options were 198ci and 225ci versions of Chrysler’s Slant 6, as well as the 318ci and 340ci in V8’s. Total sales in 1970 came to 217,192, of which 24,817 were equipped with the 340ci engine.
This amazing Duster comes with its original build sheet and has been frame-off restored. It has Rallye wheels, bench seat, AM radio, black vinyl interior, Goodyear Polyglas tires and a factory 4-speed manual transmission. This is a very rare muscle car with documentation and it runs and drives perfectly. 1970 Plymouth Duster 340
