Trying to find an answer but not having any luck.

For a 1972 plymouth duster was it possible to get the dual scoops with a standard grille? From everything I can find the dual scoops came on the 340 or duster twister cars and both of those had the shark-tooth grille.

Could the car be ordered with dual scoops and a standard grille? If so would you need the v8 or could a slant six get them. Thanks!!
 
The scoops were not offered on any Plymouth except 1971 Duster Twister. Slant 6 and 318 cars only. Never offered on any 340 or other plymouths in the US.
 
If a Duster came with scoops it also came with the grille. 1971 Duster Twister. The DATA plate should have code A51. There are 72 Dusters out there with the A51 Twister option. Some came with stripe only no scoops in 72

Here is the decode of A51 and a A51 code on a 72 picture.

That should have been the 340 option on the 340 cars . I always thought the 340's should have had scoops. But they were on the /6 318 cars. this is a 72 twister below with the A51 option
