71 Bahama Yellow Duster

[T J’s 71]

Just bought a 71 Bahama Yellow Duster. Slant six base model in very good condition. I was looking for a nice driver and chanced on this one. Bahama Yellow would not have been my ideal color choice, but this color is really starting to grow on me. Looking forward to getting advice on future mods (if I decide to do any). Runs well but my task is to go through the brake system just for peace of mind. Glad to be a new member of FABO!

Nice! I had a friend in HS that had a Lemon Twist 340 Demon.

I bought a 69 roadrunner cause I wanted it, in spite of the fact it is Bahama yellow. Just like you, it grew on me, I wouldn't want it any other color! (My dad used to call it "baby-s#$t brown)
I kinda like the fact that it's a pretty rare color. We sure don't see many at the Mopar shows. Sometimes one, sometimes none.

That’s how I feel now, wouldn’t want it in any other color.

Welcome and plain Jane is cool.

 

[T J’s 71]

Thanks! I may just keep it stock plain Jane as it is a survivor with original paint and interior. But I may not be able to resist the urge to tweak it…just a little

That is a really nice duster. Enjoy

Thanks! It won’t be my daily driver, but DO intend to enjoy it every chance I get!

Nice car, color definitely is different don't think I've every seen that color before, right tires and stance can make anything cool.

My sunfire yellow is starting to growing on me.

Thanks! Yeah, you don’t really see this color too often. Your car’s color is nice.

I like the sunfire yellow too, I think it was also a 69 color.
Bahama yellow is the Plymouth name, Dodge called the same color butterscotch. A much better description imo.

Butterscotch definitely is a better descriptor.

Welcome aboard. I always thought that color was under rated

Future mods?
Get rid of the wheel covers, either paint the wheels el5 or black, chrome lugnuts, or poverty caps. (My runner came with black wheels and chrome lugs, no caps)
Or, IF you can find some mags you like in 5 on 4", then........
Just fly it and enjoy it!

Yes, will probably go with 7” wide steelies in the rear and poverty caps. Will be putting in an 8 3/4 rear with large bolt pattern axles soon. Will post that in the future.

Nice car! Add the ‘71 Twister decals and rallye wheels to really make it stand out.

Thanks! I have definitely thought about making a Twister clone out of it by adding the decals and the sharks tooth grille. That is a very cool look.
