1974 Model Year Plymouth Duster
The first names that pops into mind when thinking about the American brand Plymouth are the Barracuda or the Road Runner. It’s even possible that some of you haven’t even heard of the Plymouth Duster before, as it went under the radar for most car aficionados. Although its siblings overshadowed it, this stunning car will make you fall in love the more you learn about it. What many won’t know is that the Plymouth Duster was named after a Warner Bros character (Tasmanian Devil), much like the Plymouth Road Runner. This 1974 Plymouth Duster is welcomed to our inventory from Florida and falls far from its factory roots. This is a good thing, since it now houses a new engine, which is more powerful than those originally offered by the Duster lineup.

If you move on to the side profile, you can discover the staggered wheel layout featuring Ohtsu FP7000 rubber at front and meatier ET Street Mickey Thompson tires at the back. Besides, if you peek under the car the Tubular QA1 control arms installed to the front end awaits to confirm that this Duster can perform on a racetrack too. The interior is the final piece of the puzzle. It feature black leather seats that can accompany four adults. However, you can’t miss the sporty attributes including the three-spoke steering wheel, large RPM gauge installed in the middle and the gearshift that reportedly mated to a full manual valve body. For us, what takes the spotlight is the toggle ignition switch on the dash that’s coupled with the big start button.

One of the Sport Compacts from the Seventies, the Plymouth Duster was produced between 1970 and 1976, as a stylish two-door coupe with a compact footprint and naturally, V8 power on offer. However, the potential of this car was somewhat stymied by the onset of the Malaise Era, and the Duster would go the way of the dodo, being replaced by the Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare combo. Today, we have a 1973 Plymouth Duster for sale from Lafayette, Tennessee, with just under 78,000 miles to its name. This originally 340ci car has received a previously rebuilt engine with a little more displacement for some extra fun.

This meant that buyers could opt for fuel economy or sheer performance. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1973 Plymouth Duster with a rebuilt V8, and all maintenance is reportedly up to date.
