Based on the base-model Plymouth Valiant, the legendary Plymouth Duster was intended to present a sporty style to attract customers more than the bland Valiant could. This rare, documented Duster Twister is a real find, featuring its original build sheet, a recent full rotisserie restoration, and a completely numbers-matching powertrain. Popping the hood reveals a numbers-matching 318 C.I. V8 sitting inside the immaculate engine bay, breathing fire through a throaty 4-barrel carburetor. Torque is put to the pavement through an equally numbers-matching 3-speed manual transmission, good for quick shifting and plenty of smiles behind the wheel. The benefit of a full recent rotisserie restoration, this Duster's bodylines are laser-straight and look fantastic. The exterior paint has been correctly refinished in "Lemon Twist Yellow", which looks absolutely gorgeous matched up to this Duster's eye-catching black "Twister" package decals and stripes. After being restored, this Duster's frame rails, floors, trunk and jambs are all also rock-solid and in great shape! Opening the twin doors reveals a stunning black and white patterned cloth & vinyl interior, the cloth featuring a striking, correct retro plaid pattern that's sure to turn heads at every car show! With factory gauges, comfy split-bench seats, and a factory AM pushbutton radio in the dash, the interior of this Duster is a great place to be. Additional options include power steering, power brakes, new bumpers, a rear spoiler, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sweet set of 14" Mopar rally wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a factory-fresh look that makes this Duster look like it drove out of its own advertisement! This Duster runs and drives down the road like a dream, and with its full restoration, rare "Twister" package, and detailed documentation, you're not going to come across another quite like it. This Plymouth is ready to get back out on the road and dust its opponents from a stoplight, and we'd love to see it in your driveway.
