73 Plymouth Duster Cold Start

[@thatdude7874]

No other vehicle sounds like a Mopar that is music to my ears i watched a duster 340 take on a chevelke 396 and smoke it more than once i love American muscle cars No other world wide auto manufacturers will ever be able to match that genre of American engineering ingenuity truly the greatest Era of automobile making

[@Lucille69caddy]

Not the 375 hp version, it didn’t. Either that or a crapola driver.

[@charlie6629]

I had a 66 SS 396 that was a 402 ci displacement that ate most muscle cars for breakfast and lunch on the street. An L34 from the factory custom order with all of the goodies. Took on a 440 Roadrunner and a 427 Vet owned by a Police man. It's a lot up to the driver.

I had a 1970 340 Duster with 3 speed on the floor. It was a plain Jane with latterly no options. It ran like a scalded dog! No decals so it looked like 6 cylinder duster. It was fun!

Latterly?

Nothing like a Mopar waking up. Always a thunder. 😆 😈 😎👍

Love the sound of that Mopar starter when you are cranking that car

Yes, that is an awesome sound!

[@Jaegov]

I bought a gear reduction starter for my Chevy because I loved that sound

[@troyboystoys9707]

Nice Mopar!!👍👊 I’ve had classic cars and muscle cars since 1988 when I was 16. Sold my last one in spring of 2019 when I bought a bigger house. I recently made a video on my channel in memory of it. My next one will probably be a Duster, 71 or 73 (don’t like the tail lights on the 72). Hopefully my finances will allow me to buy one in spring of 2023, I really miss the nostalgic feel of being behind the wheel of 60s and 70s power. 💪There is nothing like it.

[@austindraa8868]

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I wish u luck getting ur duster. And personally, I prefer the 73 duster over the 71 and 72. I don’t like the front on the 71 and 72 dusters. And I agree with you. I don’t like the tail lights on the 72’s either

[@robertlenahan5375]

My first car back in 1978 was a '73 baby blue 340 Duster with partial white vinyl roof and 4 on the floor. Loved that car!

[@austindraa8868]

My dad gave me my grandfathers 1976 Dodge Dart swinger. It’s a Forrest green with a matching interior and at one point, it had a white vinyl roof on too. It’s only a slant six automatic though but I still love the car

[@dangeroreilly2028]

The "partial" vinyl roof was what Plymouth called a canopy vinyl roof. They offered that, and a full vinyl roof.

My grandpa sold it to a friend, the friend put a brand new slant six in it( as new as you can get with a slant six anyways) and then he sold it back to my grandpa and it’s sat for 18 years. After my grandpa passed, my dad gave it to me. I wanna paint it sublime green with the swinger decals on the back and I wanna put a 68 barracuda hood scoop on it.

There are time where we have to mess with the wiring in the steering column to get it to start. One minute it’s running beautifully, then we stop to get something to eat, come out and it won’t start. Such was the case at a Wendy’s. We eventually got it but it was very annoying
