The
Duster 340 was an economy, compact-sized muscle car. The Duster
had a fastback roof design and different taillight treatment. To
keep costs down, pop-out rear windows were used instead of roll-up
windows.
The Duster 340 could be
identifies by its flat black front grill, longitudinal side strips and
rear tape treatment.
The dash was standard
Valiant, but a 150 mph speedometer took the place of the stock unit.
An 8000 rpm tachometer was optional. Bench seats were standard,
buckets optional. |
The Duster 340 also came
with a front anti-sway bar. E70 x 14 tires mounted on the 14 inch
Rally wheels were also standard.
The 340ci small block V8
engine, rated at 275 hp was mated to a three-speed manual transmission
with a floor-mounted shifter. Optional was a four-speed manual and
the Torque Flute automatic transmission. These cars were very
light and capable of running high 13 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
This particular '70
Duster is a very rare Panther Pink with white bucket seats, a four speed
transmission and a rear spoiler. It has full paperwork including
the broadcast sheet. |

The suspension consisted
of heavy-duty front tension bars and rear leaf springs with standard
manual front disc brakes. |
