OK So, I resized the pictures and hopefully they will appear now .....

This Duster is all original from the factory except the paint. The chrome, vinyl top, bumpers, interior, wheels(never painted) are from 1971.
The car is nicely optioned with the factory drive train 340, 4-speed and 3:55 rear gears.
The engine has been rebuilt and is pushing 375 HP approx.
This car has the most ALL original trunk that I have ever seen.
The original spare tire has never been used.

I recently bought a 1969 Nova SS that I saw on this site that is all original including the paint and the Nova Ss is actually nicer then this car!

Good looking Mopar. I like the Duster/Demons and a 4 speed is a bonus. Color looks real nice too. Congrats!

Little known fact that is often overlooked is that EVERY 340 CID was a performance engine. It's not like you could get one in a pickup truck or station wagon. Cool cars!

As per your request .....

The Engine color is correct for this car as it was a late built 1971 340.

This car is incredibly quick and a blast to drive!

I see you corrected the Black breather on the passenger V. Cover but those red spring clamps are wrong. Should be permanent squeeze clamps. Also you had the right dipstick in earlier picture, tube is engine color but stick should be Black without that shroud that yours has on the bottom. Fuel filter, Battery,Hoses and clamps are incorrect also.
Radiator is a replacement and your alternator should be single pulley.
This is my old car while not perfect it will show you some things you still need to correct
Please under stand not knocking you just providing help.

Yep I saw the intake too and shock washers but figured I'd wait to see if you were receptive first. Usually such a stock looking car wouldn't have so much touched underhood.
