Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending my first Classic Car Show of 2014, I went to Belmont Racetrack located in Elmont, New York on Long Island. Belmont Racetrack holds three large Classic Car Shows during the year starting with this one in April, then August and finally closing out the season in October. As I was photographing a lot of cars from the late '50's, 60's and early '70's I was getting ready to leave when I decided to go down one more row and I was glad I did. As I came across this mint conditioned 1971 Pymouth Duster in fantastic condition that made it look like it had just rolled off the assembly line. The color really stood out and had a great black pin striping job along the top of each side of the car. After taking several photos I decided this side view came out the best because it showed the car's features off the best. For more information on the 1971 Plymouth Duster please feel free to read below;

The Duster was a success for Plymouth, so much so that in 1971 Dodge requested and received their own version, the Demon. In response, Plymouth was given a version of the Dodge Dart Swinger 2-door hardtop named the Plymouth Scamp. For 1971, only small changes were made to the Duster. The "Valiant" fender badges and "Plymouth" grille logotype were deleted. A new trim package was released, called the Duster Twister. The Twister package presented the appearance of the Duster 340, but came only with the base I6 or 318 V8. The Twister's appearance package included special side stripes that mimicked the Duster 340 Wedge stripes, a matte-black hood and the 340's special shark-tooth grille. A nonfunctional dual hood scoop and rear spoiler appearance package was available, as were high-back bucket seats and dual exhaust.
A new Electronic "Breakerless" Ignition became optional on the 340 V8 late in 1971 model year.
