Yes it is the Duster and it had 3 paint schemes, bronze, red, and green. Saw a lot of pictures at MCACN about the RTS. up The Hemi on the stand in the picture above was also at the MCACN display. scope

You sure the Duster was three colors?

I've only read red and green, unless you mean it was FK5 or something like that new.

Not sure the paint code, but it could be FK5. I saw pictures of all three colors at the MCACN show.

Steve had said he and his father saw the R.T.S in a dealership and wanted the cars....Im guessing it was a dealership in the new York area?

Do you think it was the red car in a faded photo?

Nope, I heard from someone who knows what the car started out as and what it became. The photo's didn't come into play until after this discussion... wave

I was a 14 year old kid in 1970, imagine what that stuff did to me!

The guy that owned our local Chrysler/Plymouth dealership was kind of a renegade, old Richard Ihm didn't really care what Chrysler wanted. He had money and ran his dealership any way he wanted. He would go to Chrysler, pick out which cars he wanted, and wrote them a check for a truck load at a time. All of the cars on the lot at Ihm Motor Sales were paid for and were Richard's to do with as he pleased.

In my later years, if a guy got along with Richard, a guy could get a pretty good deal, and he would treat the guy well. If a guy didn't like Richard, he was pretty much screwed. Gene

Too bad Juliano never got the 'Cuda. As I recall he said he knew where it was but the owners would not let it go.


'63 Dodge 330

11.19 @ 121 mph
Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.

9.92 @ 135mph with a 350 shot of nitrous and 93 octane pump. 1.43 60 ft. 3,750 lbs.

That hemi engine display is awesome! I can't see on my IPad but I'm guessing no balancer due to a gutted block?

Wonder if that still exists. Looks like a Juliano item.

In 1970, I was 16, had my license and our daily drivers were always Chrysler's. Look what it did to me!! LOL!

I think dealers are missing an opportunity with us vintage ride Gearheads.

Here we are with attention getting old muscle and we litterally pay to show it off at car shows. We would happily attend dealer events where our rides can be used to attract people to come look....for free.

Yet few dealers stage these events.

I know if I owned a dealership I would have AT LEAST one event per year!
