Man, that's a gorgeous '70 Duster. The best year to have as they had that 10:1 compression ratio. It's great that you and your brother were able to pool your talents in this wonderful project. What a special piece of musclecar history you have restored to be admired by fellow Mopar lovers such as I!
My first car as well... I paid 850 when I was 16... Made payments to my neighbor as his spoiled son wanted a trans am ... Changed out the fuel filter an it would spank his ta... I later got a 71duster demon in later life with the sharks grill.... Sold it when I went in the military an gave the money to buy my mom a sofa set..... When I got home my dad got me a 70challenger rt 440. 4speed ... Good karma ... Thanks for sharing your story an bless ya brother...
I've always liked this car. I remember seeing it a number of times back in the mid '80's when I would come into the city with my Dart Sport. This was loonngg before I knew Trevor. We would see each other in our respective cars and wave to each other. Fast forward to about 2001, maybe 2002 I would like to say, and I heard from B.J. Wilson that this car was possibly for sale, so I asked him to find out as I was very interested, B.J. came back a week or so later and said no, wasn't for sale, so that was the end of it for me. Over the years, saw your brother's car around, car shows, show and shines etc. Fast forward again to about a year and a half ago, Trevor and I were visiting Bruce Baier and something came up about this car and realized it was Trevor and this car that I saw all those years ago, pretty cool. Oh yeah, and way back in the '80's, Trevor was running a tunnel ram on it without a hood, I remember thinking that was really cool. Just my story of this car... thanks for sharing yours Ian.
My brother bought this Duster from the Chicago Auto Show afterwards at a dealer it was identical but black stripe, rear strip went longer around the lights, white vinyl top and was H - Code. Ran 13s out of the box and 4 years later it was running 11.04 @ US 30 Dragstrip it was the screaming sleeper on the streets.
I have always loved dusters or the demon even the twister duster. I'm sorry about the loss of your brother. This duster is a great tribute car to your brother. Your duster is beautiful. I hope you have many more years with the car. Take good car of the smurf car.
I’ve been a a body fan from the start. Yes it is unfortunate. We miss him everyday, but do have great memories and absolutely it will be taken care of for many years. Thank you for watching and commenting
Thanks so much for this guys!!! I expected to see an awesome ride but it became so much more! I salute your "testament of iron" and everything it represents. The personal touches on this mopar classic are inspirational to all of us! The Valiant badge juxtaposition (including the bone stock mill "appearance" 😆😆), with the available 😲dash/interior, exterior nuances, vehicle stance/rubber and outwardly sound enhancements (tips) just scream "over the top" while maintaining a quasi-legal "try" 😆😆attitude to perform in every situation. You guys are great! 😇😇😇😇😇 Cheers!
Beautiful car! Mine is a 72 Duster 340 four speed Basin street blue with white stripes black bucket interior. Sorry for your loss. I lost my brother also. 😢
I had one in H S was my first car mine was red identical wish I still had it , was wrecked by my brother unfortunately, if I ever get chance to buy one I’ll buy one beautiful car
In the video you stated that it has the dual point distributor, but an electronic ignition box is plainly visible on the right fender well. Obviously not original as the 340 got that in 1972, and it was standard across the board in 1973. So did you mean it originally had dual point distributor before being upgraded to electronic ignition?

Are you in the Saskatoon area?
Nice car why did you not start it up

Correct I meant it was to originally have a dual point but has since been converted to electronic ignition
