Nick- the way you look at the Challenger as it rolls off the truck is why I sent it to your shop.

[@stephenholland5930]

Good choice, Dan. Nick will do a fantastic job on your Challenger.

[@joebacarella2829]

You sent it to the right guy, that`s for sure, this is exactly where my Mopar would go.

[@nickpanaritis4122]

It brought back memories when my Challenger was brought back from the paint shop.

[@robertorhymes]

The end of the movie Vanishing point was tragic You building a tribute with Nick is fantastic Can't wait to see Nick work his magic

[@tipetu]

11:38 This is the reason so many of us watch these videos. Pure V8 sound with no stupid background music like the tv-shows.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for listening.

[@hwirtwirt4500]

This 340 Duster looks fantastic, paint looks almost new.

[@joeljenkins2876]

Evening!!! Man, that's a pretty Duster: I'm sure Nick'll have it roaring. With the stuff that people send to Nick's garage, no one can EVER argue that Nick isn't well loved by his viewers!!! Happy New Year to Nick and ALL THE GANG at Nick's garage!!!

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for the visit, Joel.

[@williamcole464]

In 1973, I bought a new 340, 4speed Dodge Dart sport, it was a great car, and it won quite a few races. I still wish I kept it. Happy New year to you and your whole family.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I had one with an auto, purchased used. I miss it.

[@wedge4hire]

I had a '71 340 Demon/automatic. I sold it to an irresponsible individual and he lost it somehow! It was a great car but a few years later I bought a '69 Coronet RT (440mag/4spd/Dana) and I will NOT let this one go! Wish I had the funds to hand it over to Nick for his magic touch! Maybe one day, I will. Happy 2024 to Nick and all at Nick's garage!!!

[@stevelee5724]

Simon's truck was very nice ! Set up well. CFNZ

[@71superbee39]

The A bodies with the 340 were real screamers and stunned many big blocks... Mopar to ya !!

[@luissantiago7525]

Nice lookin Duster . Cant wait to see you dig into it. I gotta 74 Duster Twister.

[@tbd-1]

Finished installing the fabric headliner in my '72 Duster 340 last night. Reassembled the steering column and got it in today. Hoping to have the dash in before the year ends and then I can get the glass installed 👍

[@ericball6000]

Happy New Year Dr. Nick, George, Manny, Robert, Nico, Leo, and everyone else who is watching Nicks Garage, I wish you all good health, peace, and muscle cars, cheers.

[@NicksGarage]

Happy new year.

[@modoc852]

Ahh,brings back fond memories, in 1977 I traded my 73 cj5 for a 73 duster metallic blue 340 bench seat 4 speed posi trac had an after market profile cam in it. Had the drop down partition behind the back seat I think it was so you could put surf boards in the trunk and lay down the back rest and the partition. Man! I love Mopars.

[@danieldavis3588]

Yeah my father had a 6 cylinder Duster three on a tree same color that I got my license in

[@erichlausch9886]

Greetings from Germany

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for coming.

[@billparker7728]

I agree with you 100percent about the snow. The older you get the more you hate it. I’m mid coast Maine so whatever storms you get I get the next day. Keep up the good work. I’m planning to take a motorcycle trip next summer and planning to stop in on the way to Niagara Falls.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

Had a 72 Duster, and a 71 Demon, and even though they were both slant 6 cars, I would love to have either of them back today. Lot of memories around these cars

[@tomcox2565]

You are right Nick! Winter in Canada sucks. We are up in the North Bay area … but down in Tennessee over the holidays! Much warmer. Two beautiful Mopars arrived . Happy new year Nick and all your family and friends!!

[@minnesotatomcat]

I’d take a set of headers over winter, I had 12 foot snow drifts going through my yard last year! Love that Duster, beautiful color👍

[@jeffosim8789]

What more can you ask for beautiful cars, that Duster is nice. Cool people AND you don’t have to be from the UK to love Shortbread cookies and Baklava to boot WOW. Happy New year to all of you 🎉 Jeff from Northern Michigan

[@Bruno-np3yk]

Beautiful 1972 Duster 340. Brings me back memories to when my dad had a 1971 green Plymouth Duster 318 with an automatic transmission.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Bench seat shifter with a bucket seat car. Dash has been recovered over the original cracked one. Sounds pretty good, needs a good tune. Very clean and well loved car. I much prefer our Aussie Chargers though 340s never officially got out though there is a few around. All autos though

[@danaglass5394]

Dana "60" Glass. Another great video Nick and George. Love the sound of that 340. Sounds like if you did rebuild the motor, you should be able to do a re-ring only having 19,000 original miles, but I know it will be up to the customer. I doubt there would be much of a ridge on top of the cylinders. Still can't wait for the tear down, and blast on the dyno. Happy New Year everyone!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Wow! At 340 lit right up without any fuss I was expecting at least to crank or two and maybe a start n die😂

[@fortyshooter1]

Really enjoyed seeing that 1972 340 Duster and it brings me back to that year when I turned 18. 340 Duster and Demons were running all around my area back then and lots of the 18-21 year olds had them. A friend back then had a Plum Crazy colored 340 Demon and after some tuning by a local Mopar racer was hard for the typical big block Chevelles to handle....lots of street racing back then. I had a 55 Chevy then with 283/4bbl/ 4 speed and not bad for $ 150 bucks. Never latched on to the 340's and should have but in 1976 I did grab a 1969 340 Dart GTS for 500 bucks!

[@dennislockhart7290]

Just like my first ride I bought when I was in the 11th grade highschool, for $600, except in yellow and black, a lot of memories in that car with my brother keeping up the mechanics while I drove. Credits to my brother we won a few races and it got me to school every day, with whatever he did to the ole girl.... lol. Love your videos Knick, keep them coming.

[@brianrutherford3681]

Merry Xmas to you and your crew and all the familys in the shop.i came from North Dakota as a kid and i now live in New Mexico .i miss the snow .i love snow down here as it melts off on its own no need to move it at all

[@NicksGarage]

Merry Christmas.

[@patrickdubois9157]

Happy new to the gang and keep up the good work 👍

[@robertthetrucker6534]

Nick may you and your family plus your great mechanics have a fantastic holiday and healthy 2024.

[@tint661]

Nick I know your dislike for headers on a car. I have a dislike for those bolt on battery terminals that are on the Duster and many other cars. They are problematic. To have a nice car and then slap junk on it when the proper battery cables are sold at most good auto parts stores is a real crime in my book. I love the videos and look forward to them every week. Wishing you and your crew a Happy New Year and good health in the coming years.

[@sparkywirenut]

I;m surprised it has power brakes , sure don't need power brakes on a duster , I had a 67 coronet with power brakes , way too touchy , I removed the power brake booster and put a regular master cyl. on it , was much nicer .

[@1968440GTX]

Happy New Year, Nick, George, and all at Indy Automotive. I'm a long-time viewer when you had less than 5000 subscribers. Your channel is my favorite KZbin channel. I'm a long-time 40+ years Mopar enthusiast. Keep up the fantastic work. It's much appreciated and respected. Take care, John. From Oregon.

Bon hour/good day eh, I can’t wait to see Stephan’s collection of holes come out of the body shop and you to start work on it. Bon chance/good luck avec le charger.

[@4ondflor]

That duster is gorgeous, I think I’ve seen it in person in Toronto. Have a happy new year folks! Can’t wait to see that Kowalski come together.

[@ChadieB]

I NEED to get up there and visit the shop. I love the cars in the videos... but the cars in the background look just as good. You guys can't seem to do anything that's not awesome

[@NicksGarage]

Please do!

[@rmccagle]

Do it, you’ll be glad you did. It was the highlight of my whole year!

[@ChadieB]

@@rmccagle I have no doubt it'd be a blast. how far of a trip was it for you?

[@ChadieB]

@@rmccagle thanks... I just looked them up and it'd be about an 18 hour drive for me... I might make a road trip out of it next summer/fall

[@mikestackhouse9001]

Loving the new Winter additions, especially the 340 Duster. My Dad had a 1971 340 Dart Swinger and that thing was a little monster! I will wait to hear on any updates.

[@redred2772]

Wish I never sold my 71 340 Duster!

[@propdoctor21564]

Great car... I had one just like this in the early 80s but dark metallic brown with the white interior, white stripe, and white vinal top. I sure do miss that car

[@KetchLambier]

I had the 72 340 Duster. Seat of my pants told me it put out near 300hp. I so would like to see this one tested.

[@PusswhipBanggang69]

I love these Dusters! This one is a gift from God! Absolutely stunning!👍

[@jgboys1]

My first girlfriend’s dad bought a 1972 Plymouth Duster brand new in 1972! Same color and white stripes. I wish I was still going out with her! I love that car. 😂

[@dogdoc1]

Surely agree with you Nick about the Winter. Born and raised in Chicago, but now living in Georgia. Will take the southern weather over the Midwest anytime. 😎

[@blinkie1523]

Wow Nick what a treat, thank you & George for this and hey that Duster sure look pretty damn sweet and runs the same also. Happy 2024 to You Nick, George & the team.

[@donlemme898]

Absolutely love an A body 340 and 4 spd too! Happy New Year too all!!

[@scrappy7571]

I worked with a guy back in the 70's that had the same color Duster , except it was a Demon. He bought it cheap, like $500. Beautiful car until you looked at the passenger side...It was T-boned and totaled by the ins company. Still drove fine, just could not open the passenger door! Good for burn outs too!

[@wedge4hire]

How 'bout bringing it up to '71 340 specs as far as CR and forged internals? 1972 340 was not as strong as the '68 thru '71 versions. Nick will perform his magic as usual!!

[@mervritter6353]

Your exactly right. I drove a new 72 340 Duster and totally disappointed in its performance. A 70 or 71 was by far a faster car.

[@HOTA_CHATON]

Hey Nick, we'd all like some video footage of what is going on with Stephan's Charger. We don't hear anything about it, anymore. Thanks. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

[@NicksGarage]

We are working on it. Hoping to show you something soon.

[@The340king]

That Duster has me drooling. I had a '72 340 Duster with 3.55 gears. Mine was an automatic car. It was a fun car to drive.

[@erichlausch9886]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidstuck2866]

Wow, that is a BEAUTIFUL survivor Duster! I hope you make it into a feature build. Hopefully, It will not need a lot of work. but in any case, it will be something to follow as you repair and fix what ever it needs. if you do go thru the engine, it would be great to see before and after dyno runs on it. I know if it was my car, it would get a new cam and valve train. A Edelbrock air gap rpm intake with an 850 double pumper. I don't know if there would be a way to make the scoops functional without it being a BIG project.. And I would save every last nut, bolt and even clips, pins etc. so it could be put back to pure stock if the owner ever decided he wanted to do so. I DO see the value of a pure, stock, survivor car. but I am getting old, and I would want one last trip back to my youth. Where I could raise a little hell, and have some real fun before I could no longer enjoy it.

[@stephenholland5930]

An 850 carb on a little 340 cid?

[@Angelo-fo8de]

That’s a beautiful car. My father owned a 72 duster 340 4speed with a bench seat.

[@dalehannon4922]

Relative of mine and at the time her husband bought fresh off the lot a 1970 Duster orange in color I sat in it and was disappointed at it did not have any head room I at the time stood at 6 foot high my head was rubbing the head liner even without my hat. While my 64 valiant had lots of head room!!

[@moosemanmagee4495]

That could burn the rubber off as Good as any roadrunner!

Duster 340's never had the Demon 340 scoops. Only the Duster Twister with the 318 came with the scoops. I know because I bought a original Demon 340 with the twin scoops back in May 1971. My brother had a 70 Dart Swinger 340 with the twin scoops too. A few Duster owners put them on, but not a factory option. Sorry Nick. Clean car otherwise.
