Thanks Chris! Most guys think that Ma Mopar never installed a 340 in a twister back in the day, but we know they did! From what I know the few that were produced were never sold here....a sheep in wolves clothing if you will.........Mine will be under the "Survivor" tent at The all Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle Pa. July 10,11,12 do you plan on attending? Dave

I thought that was a twister hood only decal? And they never made any 340 duster twisters? Did they use that decal on 340 dusters in 72, I didn't think they did?
 ..The 340 stripe didnt have the twister guy in it on the 340 cars. Also the 340 numbers, arnt they suppose to be connected to the 1/4" stripe and not under them? Looks like someone added the 340 under the twister stripe. The 340 looks to be lower then the center feature line also. Just my

Dave, you made arrangements to have it in the survivor tent at Carlisle? You usually have to send in pics etc ahead of time to be accepted. The cars that are excepted are all listed in the Chryslers at Carlisle literature with a brief descriptions of each car. Quite an honor to have a car be put in that tent because each applicant is reviewed and only true survivors are excepted. Its always a great display every year. And like I said before I don't ever recall seeing a 340 4 spd Duster in the survivor tent.

Sounds a lil bias to me there Bill
Very biased; me bad. I had camera problems and could only take a few pics. I have new camera hardware now though so I'll be in better shape going forward.

For 72,71 the 340 decal did not touch the stripe above it.....I believe 70 did however.....and the 340 decal did in fact go below the body line that you mention...for reference look at any vendors stripe/decal, Year one would be a good reference....
