Found my dads original 1971 duster!

[dads71]

Here is the day I first got to see it. Then a few after I got it home. I’m told that the hood scoops didn’t come on 340 cars. So I guess they were added at some point. I’m keeping them for the build, as they were one of my favourite things about the car when I was a kid

Hood scoops are likely original. Nice find.

Thanks ). I sure hope they are! But I can’t find anything online that says a 1971 340 car could come with that option

Damn nice to find it still complete after so many years, great story and really glad you were able to get it back, helps to live in a small town where everybody knows you.
Looking forward to seeing more pics.

I'm not a Duster expert, but I think some did. These guys on here know a lot more about that kinda thing than I do so they'll let us know.

Haha! No prob! Sorry it was so long winded. Where do I post pics? Just on this thread or whatever? Not sure how anything works

You’re doin great. This thread, for all intents and purposes, is yours, you now own it and you may do what you want here. Just don’t list things for sale or you’ll get the wrath of Mike. Thanks for the pics.
