This is how they were. Not every one of these things had a rear wing on it or a 340 WEDGE sticker on the right bottom corner of the hood . Nice example 😊
The sound of the secondaries opening up on the thermoquad, followed by the kickdown of the transmission is pure joy! I was imagining driving that car, passing a Camaro or a Mustang on a back road or blowing past the school bus on the way to high school. Such a pristine original car. Kudos to the past owners for keeping it stock and caretaking it.
I love Mopars and a car like this is such a perfect daily driver. Thanks for showing this car off. I’ll be in the market for a new Mopar to join my stable soon and I’ll check you guys out.
When I was a kid back in the 70's, my neighbor had a '72 Gold Duster. I really liked that car. It was a medium blue with a 1/2 vinyl top, black interior, manual transmission and a slant 6 under the hood. This one is a really nice example!!!
My dad bought a '72 Gold Duster brand new off the lot at Prince Chrysler Plymouth on Manchester Blvd in Inglewood, California sometime late '71 or early '72. I don't quite remember exactly; I was only 5 years old! I do remember it being an F8 green with a black vinyl top & black bucket seat vinyl interior with console shift automatic behind a 318. He kept that Duster for about 8 years before one day deciding to trade her in on a gold 1979 Pontiac Sunbird😢. I was a teenager at that point & only a year or 3 from getting my California DL so I was sad to see that beautiful Duster get traded for such a POS. That Sunbird is the car my dad taught me to drive with though. What a slug that car was... Anyway, I acquired my own set of keys without dad's knowledge & used to "borrow" that Sunbird at night while pops slept. As long as I had it back by 5am I was good; he got up at 5:30 & left for work at 6am five days a week. Fortunately, I was slick enough that I never got caught. RIP dad, sorry about that. At least I didn't crash it dad. You taught me to be a responsible driver in Los Angeles in the early 80's... Not so much my friends though. Some of them were absolute maniacs behind the wheel. I could write a book about all the crazy shit my homeys & I did back then... Some spectacular wrecks & some very nice old musclecars were reduced to scrap metal. But I still like to think that my dad's '72 Gold Duster somehow survived & sits in someone's garage today with a built 440, a 4 speed, & a Dana in place of that anemic 318 & 904 automatic & still wearing her original F8 green paint with the gold tornado on the tail panel...
Actually.... that radio bezel is UPSIDE DOWN. The chrome opening surrounds the dial scale, the painted opening is for the buttons. Might have been built on a Friday afternoon in April of 1972.
Nice to see an original in Black, probably extremely very rare. To see the way the finish was on the original car was true to form most restorers hide. In December of 1973 I ordered a 74 Challenger Rallye 360 4 speed. I was lucky the car was actually built as the Challenger line was ending, but I had to laugh as the bottom of both doors had tried paint drips with the door and trunk seam sealing was very crude. That's just the way Chrysler built them.
She’s a beauty. I just picked up a a body 8 3/4 to replace the 7 1/4 in my 66’ Valiant. It is small bolt and has those bell drums. My front disc conversion is big bolt so I am going to replace the axle shafts and probably go 4 wheel disc. If you want those drums let me know. My dad lives in Tokeland so I can bring them out next time I go visit him. I have no use for them.
6:48 One of the trickiest things to find while assembling my '72 Duster 340 was that "F" style washer fluid hose splitter. The only ones readily available are the "T" style and it seems over the years they were all replaced with those when they broke. I had to settle for one marketed for the Mustang to get the right one. Mine is a spitting image of this one except it's a factory 4 speed car. I crunched the numbers for fun and if the numbers and percentages provided are correct mine's roughly 1 of 46 made. One of the parts cars I recently robbed was another TX9 '72 Duster 340 automatic, sequence # 280481. 18:17 I believe the LR and RR on the lower control arm refers to left rear/right rear as in the back side of the arm. LR and RR would face toward the back of the car. 16:48 Seat bolts. Belts are larger bolts on the sides.
A good friend of mine from high school had a 340 Duster that looked just like this on the outside. But I was surprised to see the column shifter, as my friend's car was an automatic with a console shifter. Interior on his was white. Another big difference was the battery was located in the right rear of the trunk. He said the car came from the factory like that. So I guess those are some of the many options as was mentioned.
I prefer the flush mount side marker lights. That's an outstanding well preserved classic! How do you even come up with a price on a true survivor like that. Thanks for sharing!
What a special car; it almost looks too nice to be a survivor... my grandmother's '74 Gold Duster (318/904) took the seat belt annoyance to another level. It wouldn't even start unless the seat belt was buckled.
Beautiful car! Those vinyl side moldings from the 70's - I've had friends go out to their car- be it in their driveway, in a mall parking lot- where ever- on a hot day to find all the molding laying neatly on the ground next to the car - this was when the car was 2-3-4 years old. A friend's 72 olds 88 in 74 or 75 in a parking lot on a hot July day comes to mind. 70's adhesives left much to be desired- like rear view mirrors - who from the 70's? 80's? 90's? has not had a mirror fall off the windshield? I know i've re--glued a few in the 70's & 80's.
I pulled mine off my 74 duster because were slapping the doors they we falling off. My 68 charger they had a receptacle channel with end caps the with rubber slid inside, stainless channels. Little confused because Galian Goviair, Mopar guru, spelled his name wrong told me at a car club meeting back in 99 that dealerships ordered that way or installed at dealership, not sure, because they had small car lots and didn’t want the doors dinging stuff up. I took my off and through them away lol, think I found it on my build sheet under fleet or something saying something about body side molding. I’ll have to look on my build sheet again, been awhile, oh well, it loooked ok, looks like a pin stripe that hid the body line down the side….
That’s what I thought at first, but I’m going to check my build sheet again, but I think it’s that stainless along the top just below the side window shelf thing to the front or maybe drip molding, something maybe vinyl top cars got that others didn’t, definitely said something like body side molding. Over the years I have seen pictures of others cars that have the exact same body side molding but still could be a dealership installed thing all the dealers got, I had a pair of nos door edge guards to, but sold them. My car was bought I think at Lake City Dodge in Seattle area and I have some warranty paper work from the dodge dealer ship on auto row bellvue. It’s a January 68 car so I got the shoulder belts. Cars getting close have to buy some rear sail panel bows and clips from eBay. Should have check you first but the shop needed them asp. My cars head liner was done before and they never got put back in, didn’t notice them when I took it out and didn’t know oof the part lol.
Seat belt use was still not widely accepted in the early 70s. The idea of a seat belt "law" was still unheard of. Making the use of the newly mandated shoulder belt as an option was appealing to the general public at this time. The buddy-up attachment to the lap belt was a vast improvement over the GM full separate belt concept, even if it had a tendency to disconnect. I had a '72 Newport with it and it wasn't too bad, I always wanted to put in a 3 point but never got to it.
It has an aftermarket master cylinder. I wrote an article called “Pumping Points” in the April 2005 Mopar Action about identifying original 67-74 Mopar M/Cs which has the reference you need to identify the correct OEM Bendix parts.
@@Robertadkins-h9c Hello Robert! On the 6 cylinder A-Body cars you would be correct... But most 318 A-Body cars built in '70 -'72 had 7 1/4" rear axle assemblies with the STANDARD 10' Drums found on ALL V -8 cars, WITH the bell in ALL these years! Finding an 8 3/4' rear under these 318 cars from the factory got harder with each model year... Seems like fewer people ordered the H.D. A axle.
First came the seat (lap) belt. Then in the late 60's came the shoulder harness. They used to clip to the seat belt. I always thought it was to give you the option to only use the lap belt but what do I know?
Think it was just a stop gap? Shoulder belts were optional but then became mandatory Jan 1st 1968 and it took them a few years to figure out how to integrate them.
@@rocketresto One thing that surprised me was that the 1972 Mercury Grand Marquis Brougham I bought in 1982 had the shoulder harness still clipped to the top of the door. The previous owner/owners never used the shoulder harness. This was in Houston, Tx., so maybe then never used the lap belt, either. Remember Ford's lame idea in the mid 80's where the shoulder belt was automatic?
hi tom great ep love the duster can the owner if they want can they put ac in it looks like they can make room for it. also i like you better then jamie ha ha .
Coin was the part number of the k member assembly. Torque boxes are not consistent. All convertibles got them, all hemi cars did, most 440 and 440-6 4 speed cars did but I’ve also seen them on 383 auto Road Runners, was not consistent.
Should there be a gear ratio tag on one of the differential bolts? If memory serves, there would be one for the ratio, another if it was Sure Grip. But maybe not by '72.
Black is the rarest color on a Duster for 1972, second rarest color was Winchester Gray. The Radio faceplate is on up side down! The Crome surrounding goes around the radio dial not the station preset buttons. I can’t stand seeing this on 70-76 A-Bodies 😂
@@rocketrestonope even in the factory 1972 brochure it clearly shows it correctly installed, the radio was out out one point for service or with the changing of ownerships. The seat belt light was made standard as of January 1st 1972. Any 72’ mfd in the fall of 71’ did not have that seat belt warning system. My Farther is the original owner of his 72 Plymouth Duster with a 318, Winchester Gray, does not have that seat belt warning light. This car actually imo been cool with the factory vinyl side moldings left on, but put a standard 1972 Grill in place of the Shark Tooth Grill. All you would have had was the dual exhaust and 340 Dust Cloud on the rear deck showing it’s a 340. Cool kinda sleeper 😎👍
Beautiful Car, but something appears 'off' to me with the right rear quarter panel ? No matter, looks to be a great Car I would take in trade plus cash against my similar 'reference' original condition '69 Charger R/T SE 440/Auto in X9
Can people PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE narrate their presentations without resorting to "Uh" or "Er" or "Um" so prolifically?? It seems (is) that this occurs every 3rd. or 4th. word or so. I am a longtime Mopar man (60+ yrs.) and subscriber to this channel and not about change that. I'm also subscribed to 'Dead Dodge Garage' as well. No disrespect intended, but you could learn alot from how Jaime (spelling) narrates his channel. That said, this is a Very nice Duster. I only wish I was able to keep my red, white vinyl top, 340, 3spd. on the floor, deluxe white bench interior example with factory rallye wheels. A very Fun & Fast car. Ahh.. memories. Skål!
I had a friend that did it a lot and it bothered him and I catch myself doing it. So I try to speak like I’m reading one sentence and stop period and begin again
D was for the full size Dodge line, big cars got precedent! So all Polara’s and Monaco’s start with a D. Dodge b bodies are W (Coronet) or X (Charger till 1970).
Very very few cars are in unmolested original condition. This car is no exception. No telling what was really done to this car over it's 53 years. Pretty nice though.
@rocketresto Tom those mufflers are correct 71/72 NOS I found at Carlisle . I still have both boxes. They were never opened until I pulled them out. Pentastar, vendor code & Chrysler Plymouth part numbers are there on top and are hard to see.
I was going to say $35,000 but doing a quick search looks like between $40,000 and $50,000. I don’t like the word survivor in a car because you just get in to much trouble with boobs opinions on what is a survivor. I call it unmolested and if it’s never been wreck $60,000. Duster, demons, darts I think sometime came in this body style are hot hot hot, usually the 70, 71 cars…..
Don’t want to post the price in the comments because then anybody just comments on that and it sidelines the comments. It’s going on Hemmings tomorrow.
This is how they were. Not every one of these things had a rear wing on it or a 340 WEDGE sticker on the right bottom corner of the hood . Nice example 😊
Yep and a lot had those side moldings.
Gorgeous. Love a 340 A body. I had one back in day.
340 in an a body is a great combo.
That black car was the 10th 72 Duster340 I have owned since 1977. I know em a little bit.

What a sweetheart, Tom. Thanks much for sharing it with us.

I only wish I was able to keep my red, white vinyl top, 340, 3spd. on the floor, deluxe white bench interior example with factory rallye wheels. A very Fun & Fast car. Ahh.. memories. Skål!
Yes that bothers me to, but only when I’m having a bad day um 😐 er hope you have er ah better um day
I know it’s a bad tick I have. Jamie gets around it by not having a clip more than 5 seconds long hahaha will work on improving that.
I had a friend that did it a lot and it bothered him and I catch myself doing it. So I try to speak like I’m reading one sentence and stop period and begin again
18:25. VL, L for Dart. Why didn't they use D for Dart? Oh yeah, 70's and free spirits. lol
D was for the full size Dodge line, big cars got precedent! So all Polara’s and Monaco’s start with a D. Dodge b bodies are W (Coronet) or X (Charger till 1970).
@@rocketresto are you sure they just didn't want it labeled "VD"?

8:30 Hang on a minute! You’re telling us an SPD number but what does SPD stand for? Thanks! Not everybody has memorized all of this lingo.
Sorry should have clarified - Schedule Production Date
Annnd, the SPD wasn't always the actual day the car was built...keyword "scheduled "@@rocketresto
the wah wah pedal
The best pedal
Very very few cars are in unmolested original condition. This car is no exception. No telling what was really done to this car over it's 53 years. Pretty nice though.
It’s obviously had some things done underneath that I pointed out but outside and inside it’s super nice.
I beg to differ Tony, THIS car IS exceptional.
@rocketresto Tom those mufflers are correct 71/72 NOS I found at Carlisle . I still have both boxes. They were never opened until I pulled them out. Pentastar, vendor code & Chrysler Plymouth part numbers are there on top and are hard to see.
Nope she has been apart and a repaint. the door vin sticker is a reproduction.Nice car though.
Makes sense, the paint quality looks too good for original paint.
It is absolutely original paint.
They Never Ever ever had a Enamel coating shine with smooth luster
@@tyronebiggims1613 maybe it has Race Glaze brand wax? Wax on, wax off. 😎
@@tyronebiggims1613a cut and buff will do wonders with original paint.
A super survivor 🍻👍🏼 , what is the cost of this ? For take a comparation between this unique survivor vs a restored same year .v
I was going to say $35,000 but doing a quick search looks like between $40,000 and $50,000. I don’t like the word survivor in a car because you just get in to much trouble with boobs opinions on what is a survivor. I call it unmolested and if it’s never been wreck $60,000. Duster, demons, darts I think sometime came in this body style are hot hot hot, usually the 70, 71 cars…..
Don’t want to post the price in the comments because then anybody just comments on that and it sidelines the comments. It’s going on Hemmings tomorrow.
Great car
