‘74 Plymouth Duster
I was looking though some old pics and these of a ‘74 Duster that wife used to own. She bought it for only $900 in the mid ’90s. It had a 318 2 bbl., bucket seats, floor shifter and factory sunroof.
It was a great car, unfortunately it got banged up on a Montana road covered with black ice. I put a junkyard fender, hood and left side suspension on it, but by that time she had bought a ‘74 International Scout II. We were moving to a place without much parking, so we (sadly) sold it, thinking a 4x4 made more sense in MT.
Now I wish I had it back, but I feel that way about most of cars I’ve sold. (And I wish I still had a forklift, as seen in the upper pic.)
Your Duster looked real nice. Im working on restoring mine. Its a 74 too. it had the white vinyl on top though but its the same sun-blaze yellow. I would appreciate it a lot if you could e-mail me back and tell me what color the original interior color was. thanks alot

That thing above the dimmer switch, that looks like a dimmer is the windshield washer pump. It’s a set of bellows that uses your foot power to squirt the washer fluid. Guys used to reroute the lines to point at the rear tires, then fill the reservoir with bleach. Then they could just give it a couple pumps to do burnouts for street drag racing.

I own two dusters, a 1971 225 stock that I wish to change into a 340 car. Also a 1975 225 stock that I am restoring right now, i am looking for an after market rim that would look nice on my car and I also need a driver side tail light.
