1970 Duster - Matching Numbers 340 - RED!
Loved that B7 1971 Duster 340 you had.
The only explanation I can think of as far as the changes in standard equipment levels when comparing the 1970 Duster 340 versus the 1971 Duster 340, is that Chrysler Plymouth was attempting to get their foot in that Chevy Nova SS market in 1970, thus the 1970 Duster 340 was sold with manual disc brakes as standard equipment, for the whopping price of $2,549!
The 1971 Duster 340 by contrast had front drums as standard equipment, for the base price of $2,703. The 1971 car of course did include the new ThermoQuad carb and late in the year, included electronic ignition.
BTW I saw that the 1971 B7 car you sold at the Turkey Run, now located on a New England dealers website for upper 20s.
The Mopar market is a bit down right now, as is the economy, especially housing and energy. Barrett-Jackson in January 2008 had some low prices on very desirable, over-restored big block Mopar muscle...
