Barn find 72 340 duster
A factory AM-FM !! Hard to find ; I had one in my '72 Swinger (found it in a '73 Duster in the 'yard) , and later , my '73 Duster (from a '75 Dart LL41 in the 'yard).
Rarest AM-FM radio I've ever procured ? 1968 "DART" Thumbwheel from a '68 Dart GT in the 'yard .
Funny story behind that find :
Back in '91 I found the car-in-question with a for sale sign on it , at a long-ago closed gas station .
A GT with 318/console-shift/8.75" diff/disc brakes , etc. , just a nicely-optioned car .
It needed work , but it ran . Asking price was in the $1,000 range ; too much for *that* car at that time ( similar condition 340 Swingers , Dusters and Dart Sports were going for $1,500 back then) , and the guy wouldn't budge on the price .
Car sat for well-over a year , then it *disappeared* ...
... only to resurface in the local 'pick-a-part' in Spring '92 .
8.75" diff was already gone , and its buckets & console were yanked ; however , its factory AM-FM was still kickin' back in its original spot !
I couldn't pull that rare bastard quick enough !
$5 later , it was in my dry , cracked hands .
I ended-up trading it to a friend whom had a '70 Swinger with a swapped-in 340 (last year for the Thumbwheel in the 'A' Bodies , and , iirc , were only in Darts and not Dusters / Valiants) . He wanted that radio in the worst way !
Wish that I still had that radio ...
