1971 340 Duster Stripes - 02/27/12 04:27 PM
What's the correct tail panel stripe set up? More specifically, is there an additional Duster 340 decal the goes over the tail panel stripes? Anyone have a pic of a correct one? Thanks!

I've also got another picture of a suvivor 71 duster 340 with out the 340 decal on the tail panel. Here's a picture of a black duster that I built and I went with the 340 decal.

I went with just the "Duster" decal because my friend's original paint car did not have the "340".

Mine came with just the "Duster" decal, not the "Duster 340" decal. LA built car, 10/14/70 SPD

The 1971 Duster 340 usually did not have the "340" Duster cloud on the rear, only the Duster cloud. 1970 Dusters did have the "340" Duster cloud on the rear and most 1972 Duster 340's did also. The 1971 Duster 340's had the side 1/4 panel 340 as part of the lower pinstripe. In 1972, the 340 numbers were added to the side stripe as a separate decal, also the side stripes in 1972 had the duster cloud swirl in the end of the side stripe on the 1/4 panel, where 1971 Dusters did not.

Thanks for the help. It looks like placement is right in the stripe break. Any idea how far over from either tail light or trunk lock?

My 71 factory Duster 340 has the exact rear tail panel decals as Steve's '71 original paint car.
Ironically, my 1971 is the same exterior color (GY8) - Gold Leaf Metallic - as the machine shown near the top of this thread, by 79 macho.
BTW MuscleMopars, I recall that you were working on the Blue '71 a year or so ago - just small items needed to complete. Is the car for sale, and does it now need anything? That was a Texas car with auto and center console? Does it have factory A/C? Asking price? There appears to be a little blue paint overspray in the passenger side rear wheel well but are there more photos available?

Yes, I haven't touched it in a year or so...Just got too busy with other things. I fully plan on finishing it in the next few weeks, I hope! Contact me through my email if you are interested in it.
