Sweet Price Barn Find 1972 Plymouth 340 Duster

[@vinman1029]

I remember when dusters and novas were the poor man's musclecar. Not anymore.

[@martinmoreno7020]

I remember seeing one of these dusters for sale about 15 years ago. Garage kept for $2,500. I should of bought it when I had the chance.

[@harryjohnson8605]

These cars become more popular each year. They are time pieces that will never be captured again.

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Guy around the corner from me had a brand new one, 72 340 Duster Black, white interior white stripes flat black hood w 340 wedge on it, 4 speed console car, by 73 he never opened the hood in public again, put a 440 in it, put tires and Keystone Classic wheels on it, and transplanted the 340 and the factory tires and wheels over to his mothers satellite wagon, and dropped a 440 percent n the Duster, we were GM guys, myself a Pontiac man, or kid I was 12, no one could beat him

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Dave Moore he definitely did, cause I know it had a console and 4 speed, definitely had 340 wedge on the hood and longer tail lights in the rear

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Dave Moore I'm not doubting you, he transplanted the 340 from that car into his mothers Satellite wagon, along with the 340s factory mags

[@farrah4424]

My first car was a 72 Plymouth Duster. It was blue with the 340 black stripes, bucket seats, console shifter, torqueflite 727A, 2.02 Heads,4 bolt main, steel crank. It had a Holley 600 CFM with vacuum secondaries, a Holley Strip dominator intake manifold, a pretty decent cam, and a set of Hedman Headders. I bought the car off of my brother's friend for 500 bucks back in 1978. I wish I still had that car😢

[@thewriter2549]

Do you want to buy another Plymouth Duster? $1.00 in 1972 is worth $7.22 in today's money, so that's $3610. If anybody has a 1972 Duster for sale, email me at [e-mail]

[@TheMrmmkkpro]

Nice ride , a guy in my town had a black one in the 70s , clean as a whistle , brings back memories.

[@sbc388550]

What town?

[@TheMrmmkkpro]

sbc388550 West End , NC

[@designeddifference6907]

Love your new video formats Jerry...keep them coming :-)

[@jimhart8424]

I just bought one from Pick and Pull for $1000. Only has a slant six, but after a few parts, it runs.

[@josephkutta599]

Jim Hart If the body is decent....You stole it. Hellova Deal and Best of luck

[@jimhart8424]

Body is, there's some holes in the floor but the rest is all good.

[@blah9664]

That a very fair price for that car and it appears that everything is there. Even the seats pretty good. My dad's 70 340 4 speed duster is E5 red.

[@tomhorst7614]

Owned a 340 Challenger once, sweet running engine, never let me down. I sold it and still regret it!

[@maximuswedgie5149]

You got a heck of a deal

[@stubs1227]

My first car was a 340 demon. Sure wish I had it.

[@cmintsurfer]

2:56 Outstanding Jerry.

[@carl_marks1626]

Sweet price, sweet car. It was worth 30 years of trying lol.

[@rontownsend8235]

Most of them that year where three speed on the floor, very quick from the red light.

[@austinknowlton1783]

My brothers 1972 340 Duster is a three speed.

[@triciaheydon2621]

Oh yes the “ good old days”, late 1970’s when I owned 70 340 Duster Green, Ran low 11's at Baylands Race Way in Fremont California, from Milpitas, California MADE a list of cars I won against! Never lost a race, this car hooked up on the street These cars were plentiful and cheap back then. They were on every block and high school parking lot in California even a primer gray neglected Super Bird. By the way kids worked on their own cars, just add a new cam, headers and intake plus carburetor ? Duane Heydon

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Guy was bugging the owner then balked at his price ? I would have told him to go get the other one then... what a goof !

[@thewriter2549]

I thought the same thing at first, but you have to realize how far back this find goes - at least 32 years. That's how long they knew one another. Danny really wanted the car.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

I get that... have had many people stop by my place telling me i should sell my old truck to them because i am never going to do anything with it. Hate that, what do they know ? and when i ask them what they would offer it is always a crazy low ball price.

[@wblynch]

Damned flippers I hate them more than anything. A-H’s

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Bill Lynch - You know !

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Bill Lynch ya by the guy that bout it looks like he has a few more mopars so maybe he will fip it

[@davidking8968]

i love factory paint on those and wow no rust to boot i love it 4 speed would be awsome.👍

[@daddyo8270]

Love them Mopars ,,,everything else is fighting for second place!!!

[@noaht5191]

Got a 71 sublime 340 sitting under the carport, wasn’t a barn find, still factory paint on it. My father bought it for me when I was 3 back in 89.

[@thewriter2549]

Sounds like a good story - good color and original paint and 1989. If you could email me, I write three columns in car magazines on these types of finds (Rare Finds) is the name of the column. My email is [e-mail] - thanks!!!

[@noaht5191]

Jerry Heasley once I’m back home off the road, I’d be happy to. Thanks!

[@glennbice2030]

Jerry Heasley I got a # match 70 Coronet R/T bought it from a pawn shop i 85, very hard car to decipher as i believe it was a special order car, some codes are easy, some do not exist

[@shaunclifton5281]

Absolutely Love it !

[@stoneyr9414]

I have been looking for a long time for one just like this one,the one I had was just like this but it hit a car a pole and five trees and that was it

[@MikeSmith-wm5gr]

OMG I grew up in Syracuse NY and remember that car .

[@shaunclifton5281]

👍👍👍👍Too Cool

[@glennwilliams15]

Would not restore just clean the hell out of it

[@dr_olds1430]

I've heard rumors of a superbird sitting on a farm in Georgetown, NY. But so far I've been unable to find it.

[@thewriter2549]

Let me know if you find the Superbird. I could go along and do a video with you. Email is [e-mail]

[@clinteast7476]

Im digging this car

[@dannywilsher4165]

Another cool hotrod!!!

[@sonder7971]

Nice video Jerry!

[@thewriter2549]

This is the 5th Rare Find story I've done with Danny Ravas in Syracuse, NY. He traveled the world helping build stages for The Rolling Stones, Madonna and many others. He really likes muscle cars, especially Mopars.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Would love to have this car good deal 6 GRand is awesome I would drag race It to if I got it you have all he things to pu it back to its glory it’s a great car you did well on it I’m surprised it’s not rusted more that tale piece will be easy fix

[@audieconrad8995]

Love the car but digging the opening chops...Mancini Orchestra?

[@DanielPerry444]

Syracuse NY?????? I'm like an hour away!!!

[@calvincooley1074]

Would you happen to know Dave Shadoan? He owns a sound company that does sound for concerts.

[@thewriter2549]

No, why do you ask? My audio needs improvement?

[@calvincooley1074]

Jerry Heasley He is a native of Sidney Ohio, where I'm also from. I saw that you build stage set-ups so I thought you & he may cross paths as your both in the concert business. You can find him on Facebook. I was FB friends with him at one time (I'm no longer on FB) and ironically I saw him in downtown Sidney once while he was home from California about five years ago as I have keen recognition skills. He keeps a house here. I called out to him, asking I if he was Dave, he was and I introduced myself to him. I know his neighbor who watches his property and is also a passionate car guy with a small collection. That's the scoop I'm subbed. Thanks!

[@stefanwinter1377]

Amazing

[@rondellschuyler7074]

4500 ? Good price for a duster with motor, good interior and good body.

[@thewriter2549]

$4500 plus $1500 later - total $6000. Tell me, how many of these barn find stories reveal price? I always ask to see if it's okay.

[@SorryWereOpen247]

Rondell Schuyler ..... Just the fact that it came with a Dana 60 alone actually makes it a good deal gone better and definitely adds overall value !!!

[@jaylongton]

Nice!

[@surferbri5346]

Awesome

[@fredantol7879]

Pink Panther music.

[@painmonke2940]

Dope

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

That IS SWEET! Check out my barn finds and hot rods slideshow?? Or the 71 Challenger shredding tires in flames! I had a Demon once...

[@mickjagr3538]

That car is worth more than 17thousand back to original.....sure wouldnt buy it off of me for a cheap ass price....

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Yeh do not restore this is a survivor car just clean it up put new hood and tail piece and that’s it unless it has holes in trunk or something is worth more shined up than restored they are hard to find in this shape

[@milwaukeegregg]

3500 to much.....Sometimes free is expensive..

[@tima6549]

Paid too much

[@clinteast7476]

Wrong

[@carnut7615]

Paid the right amount, it's worth 6k with original paint and no rust.

[@owatajrkiam]

If you think he paid too much,consider this....you can pay $1,000 for a 71'/72' sharktooth grille. I had a 71' 340/4spd/plumb crazy duster.

[@mickjagr3538]

i disagree on the paid to much....actually a good buy...especially with the original paint and same owner and its been stored up and nobody been driving it either......damn good price

[@mickjagr3538]

It was worth more than 6k.....my opinion....

[@sallyboy5418]

First thing I do is rip that little 340 out and drop in a modern hemi. Drag racing back un the day? I hope he ment street racing cause your not winning to many races with a '72 340.

[@daviddennison3647]

Did you ever drive one?

[@mickjagr3538]

I beg to differ on that....cause alot of it has to do with the driver....not to mention 340's can be really quick given these cars are light weight

[@sbc388550]

I can tell you from personal exp. that that 340, even the '72 340/ 240 h.p. would give fits to 389 G.T.O.s, 383 Roadrunners big block olds cutlasses, etc., from streetlight to streetlight. Now in the 1320 I could always pull 2-3 cars off the line to about 2/3 to 3/4 down the track, at that point I could hear 'em coming up my ass quickly and the cubic inches roared on by. It was always that way, the big blocks, in stock form, would get rolling and just blow my doors off at the finish, but I had a ball hole shotting 'em off the line. Those were the good old days for me...................................... Jim.

[@sunnymtnboy]

just showed us how much you know, also, too much hemi b.s.
