did the '72 come w/the small gold PENTASTAR on the lower passenger side fender? My car has metal 'DUSTER' emblems on the front fenders- near the back about mid way up, so I am assuming that the cars w/stripes do not have the 'DUSTER name' sticker at the front of the stripe on these cars? Any...

I know they had lower compression, altered cams/timing etc, along w/large pattern wheels and front Discs. But other than the HEAVY BUMPERS, what else is actually different?

This gets you to it...........and I can still view, but not add or delete pics! Megahosted Mopar Photos

Not a race car but want something that is LIGHT- not solid fiberglass but not Caddy seats either. And inexpensive too........

I've seen some but cant seem to find any pics. Anyone done this- ideas as to what mods to make it sleek?

As in 60-70s Mopars. Dont seem to be finding them?

My car is out of state and I am making a black plastic block off plate- can someone give me the dimensions for a Duster?

Seems like it being unsprung weight that it would, but how? Does the car ride better over rough surfaces w/lighter wheels? Stop and start better? I once thought that most alloy wheels were not that much lighter than the stock steel or rallyes, so whats the experts say......and some hard numbers...

I'm going to 'fog' my small block LA engined Duster this year. Was told to use Marvel Mystery oil in the carb and get it smoking before shutting it down. Sound OK? Any other oil recommended?

How about some pics? Ideas? Thinking they were just thin plastic......what color on a black dash?

I cant remember if all years and models should have this Pentstar emblem on the lower portion of the passenger fender.????

We have all seen a few of these transplants, my question is how difficult is it to mount one and not have it sticking above the qtr too much?

I definitely will be using the tail light shadows along with the stock DUSTER emblems near the top of the front fenders- both in white on my orange Duster, but I've not totally decided about the sides. I like the standard stripe OK, but its so common. If I went with that, I would not use the...

I've had a couple with the common 340 Stripe, but have been considering how I want to finish my latest '72. I know there are some ideas out there since I've seen Dusters w/BILLBOARD stripes, no stripes, two or three tone paint etc. How about some ideas/comments and PICTURES?

How many lbs weight savings going from a set of Rallyes w/centers and caps to a set of alloys? I know this could be subjective, so I'm just wondering in general. I also have read about unsprung weight- so I'm guessing wheels would be in that category. Wonder what if any difference any weight...

Was V2 Hemi Orange/Tor Red an option on these cars?

How/where did Plymouth come up with the name and what is it supposed to mimic? Did the 340 model ever come from the factory w/hood sccop/s? How much weight savings come from using glass bumpers and alum brackets over the steel? How much weight savings come from using a non hinged glass hood...

I'm wondering what changes would provide the best weight loss w/$ being a consideration: 0 ditch the spare and jack! 1 Lighter wheels may be one of the easiest- does anyone have an idea of how many pounds a set of say Centerline All drags would save vs stock Rallys? 1.5 ditch the seats...

Saw a nice '69 Dart at Don Garlits Show last weekend that had an aftermarket front end kit- included tubular arms/rack n pinion/lighter K frame/COIL OVERS. The owner said it was an easy seat in the pants felt improvement and guessed it saved at least 100lbs. Another buddy says the factory front...

I figure the issue of gas going bad in our vintage rides that see very limited use is common to many owners. I have a fuel cell in a hot rod PU that I can EASILY empty when I plan to store the vehicle for a long period, but trying to get the fuel out of an A body tank is not so easy. Has anyone...

I've never loved the idea of cut- outs in the inner fenders to make room for the collectors. Does this really weaken the frame stiffness or am I over thinking its impact? My idea was that the sub frames s/b connected IF this is done...........................

Let the fun begin! Ok, I've had most all of the various A body cars and my favorite body style is the 67-69 Barracuda Notchback- not the Fastback. I also like the 67-69 Darts, although I once saw that they MAY be a tad heavier than the Plymouths, but again, it was not a material amount. I...

It seems like a pretty solid car-although I have NOT seen it in person. Has all the good stuff already done: 8.75 SG rear, front discs, fresh 360/727. The biggest issue being the steering has some binding- I dont know how much. Seller says he inspected the steering box and it seems fine, thought...

Weight difference 8.25" rear end vs 8.75 rear end? Thanks, George

I've always liked the cube shaped 67-69 Darts, but have had more experience with the mid gen Barracudas, which were a bit lighter and maybe had more room for the rear tires. My question is beside the obvious differences in looks, are there any important issues that make one of these Darts...

I've always been a fan of the 67-69 2 dr Hard Top DODGE DARTS but it seems the 70-72 are easier to find and afford. What are the pros and cons of the newer models? Thanks, George in Tallahassee and NC Pictured one of several mid gens I've massaged.

Looking at a '69 Dart hard top that has a column shift a/t. Did any of these cars come with a floor shift AT? How difficult/expensive is it to obtain the linkage/shifter and install these parts if they are available? Thanks,

On my own car! I am not a numbers kind of guy, but was told when I purchased this '72 Duster 340 that the engine and trans were supposed to be the originals. I would like to try and verify that for what its worth. Not sure what numbers are stamped on the block and trans that tie back to the VIN...

My 72 Duster is ready for me to install the steel hood and front bench seat. should I try to find a lighter glass hood and buckets? This is NOT a race car and I like the pieces I have, but if I can save 100 pounds???????? George
