This is my '70 Duster 340 that I built several years ago based on the 1:1 that I had owned once in 1974. Converted from a '71 Duster 340. The side stripes were given to me by a friend and another friend gave me the '70 grille. I converted the bucket seats to a bench seat.

The engine compartment is nicely detailed but still remains neat and clean. I like it!

I believe it was 1972.

This is my 1971 Duster 340+6. Painted with Go-Mango and Light Gunmetal with a body-colored rear spoiler, Cragar Drag Star mags, wide and wider tires, 340+6 engine.
