I understand that all of the Dusters had the Valiant emblem that year. I was also under the impression that the V8 badge was left off of the 340 cars and only on the 318 cars.

Well, my buddy just bought an original 5000 mile 340 car that has the V8 badge on it as well.

I know with Ma, there are no absolutes.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Anyone?

is it a survivor w/original paint?
is it early or late production?
is it CA or MI, or Canada built?
is it stripe delete? "V68"

This car is a survivor. I put up a post on FABO about it and it sounds like cars built after April of 70 no longer had the V8 badge.

So what is your car? These are great questions?
Give a brake down of your fender tag.

Back in the day, I had a 340 Duster, all original, silver with black vinyl top with no stripe and no V8 or 340 emblems anywhere on the exterior of the car.

Scott Smith had a B5 '70 Duster 340 car, very original, that had the V-Eight badging at the front upper fenders, the Valiant badge, and the Duster 340 callout decals below the Valiant badge.

This is exactly how my brothers old duster was equipped, he bought it back in the mid-late 80s from the original owner.
Car sold several years ago and no idea what the SBD was

Definitely possible. My early build 68 Dart GTS has the V8 emblems. It had factory paint on the passenger side, but no fender tag.

Mine was built march or april of 70 . Been on back burner a long time , hope to get back on it this winter. I think it has the badges, will look this weekend. Was repainted once, but bought from original owner, and I would assume if they are there its because it had them from day one. Understand that doesnt mean much.
