'71 Duster 340...maybe...

After all the years of wanting this car and calling and emailing the owner to try to get him to sell it to me I just relized that it's probably not a real v24 car after looking the pics over closely. There are many little things that make me think this. The black out that fades into the engine bay is to clean, no trim on front window pillers, the upper door frame paint is gloss, 90% of the v24 cars came with satin finish. I know a few did come with gloss. This car always bugged me because I knew he was thinking about selling it and but I never get him give me a set price.

I remember this owner and his car, from back in that time period. I agreethat this is likely NOT a v24 car; But having said that - the Winchester Gray could make a cool '71 340 Duster and rare color at that!

Somehow I vaguely recall that the owner finally encountered a health issue and he may now be deceased, but it's speculation. I thought that this car was either sold on Moparts or was talked about there, and perhaps the car was sold-even on Ebay.

The spoiler is wrong but I'd like to see the fender tag.


Even still- a 1971 Duster 340 4 speed with chrome sport mirrors in Winchester Gray is a cool car!
