'70 #s 340/3-sp Original Paint Duster, 25,000 mile car
This is one of the nicer Dusters I've seen, and I'm guessing the 340 was not often paired with the 3-speed manual trans.

1 of 3401 according to the auction description. That seems awfully high to me....how many 340 Dusters were built in 1970?

24,800 miles in the first 7 months of ownership by the original owner then 200 miles in the next 50+ years? Wow.
Also, I never knew those speedometers were configured like that; sort of like a tachometer. |

Seems a little odd that they managed to stop driving it at exactly 25,000 miles...

Original delivery date was 5/21/70, and 2nd owner purchased it on 12/13/71, so that makes about 19 months for the OO to accumulate those 24,800 miles.
Unhooking the speedo cable lets you stop accumulating mileage at whatever point you want Auction has ended early.

^ yep - I confused the years... 1971 purchase date was 5 (rest of 1970) PLUS 12 months (all of 1971 nearly) - still... and yeah, stopped at 25,000... anyway, still a lot of miles that first owner put on very quickly IMHO...

The mid-60's Mercedes with the vertical speedos were different, not weird!
