This is the first time I noticed. It looks like it has manual steering.
Darn! That's too bad.

Ha! Ha! John it drives like its got P/S...firm feel setup, I love it! manual trans + manual steering = no red fluid all over your garage floor & underbody............ Never liked that touchy Chrysler steering anyway...leave it for the big imperials & furys...Dave............

I have manual Brakes and steering, I love the road feel with the manual steering, more room in the engine compartment and no power robbing!

I never thought an A-body needed power steering anyway.....I have owned 5 now & only one of them with pwr steering....I'm telling you mine almost feels like pwr steering! And I can sure do without the messy red fluid all under the car and on the garage floor! Wait...did I already say that?

This should clear up any questions..........

Remarkable car, great pics and info. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Rocketman!

Great pictures! Do you know what issue of Muscle Car Review it will be featured in?

Hey Bill! I believe it will be in January or Febuary edition of Musclecar Review....the editor didn't want to run it on the heels of the Hemmings article. Dave

Awesome car. Love the Lemon Twist paint and the new leaf springs made the stance perfect:) Two thumbs up on a truly awesome car

Thanks Three40!

Of all the survivor cars that I have seen, I could count the number of 340 Dusters on my hand.
They are just that hard to come by.

This is just an amazing machine. It needs nothing and I'm glad that you actually drive it

I have a 1971 Duster Twister in the GA4 Winchester Grey/Black stripes. Just a 318 car with the 3 speed.
It's the only Twister I have ever seen in that color combo. No options either except for the am radio, twister package, and drip rail moldings.
Yes it's manual steering to. As we say in the south, "aint nothing like manual steering"

Thanks! DusterKrazy I agree, you have a better chance of stumbling across a Hemi car then to stumble upon an original low mileage 340 4-speed Duster....They were dirt cheap! And people beat the crap out of em! If you could see the original REAR tires from this car you could get an idea of how this car was treated.....Dave

A lot of great pics and info here, thanks for sharing.

Might have missed, but what is the story on finding the car, and how it ended up this way?

Rick.

This Duster is in amazing original condition with the factory applied Lemon Twist (FY1) paint, upgraded black interior & original 340 engine & A833 Heavy Duty 4- speed transmission. The car has 46,000 documented miles and I have two of the original E-70 14 polyglas tires. The drive train is untouched and has never been out of the car. This car was special ordered by the original owner,(of whom I am in contact with) from Swartzwalds Chrysler Plymouth in Alexandria Mn. The options he chose were, 340 h.p. package,HD cast iron A833 transmission(Chrysler went to aluminum in 73)with a Hurst shifter,interior upgrade package,tinted windows,power front disk brakes,undercoat w/hood insulation pad(still there) rear mounted speaker with fader control and the high impact,extra cost option paint, Lemon Twist Yellow. Instead of the 340 graphics package he decided to go with the beltline molding to protect his baby from door dings and such. The second owner,a dentist located in Rockford Ill and the person I purchased the car from, had the 340 stripes and callouts applied & the moldings professionally removed in 1999. I have the original 6 side moldings and they are in like new condition. The car was sold in 1999 to the dentist with 36,000 miles on the odometer as shown on a copy of his title. He had put approx 9,000 miles on the car before my purchase Nov 2008. This car was featured in the Muscle car Profile section (pg50)in the October issue of Hemmings Motor News. It was photographed July 9th of this year by Geoff Stunkard of Muscle Car Review magazine for an upcoming issue. To find one of these vehicles today in this condition is almost impossible.

Amazing car...mine is not in that league at all!
