Up for grabs here on eBay is a well-optioned and driver-ready 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 finished in its factory-correct Lemon Twist yellow. This high-impact Mopar is currently located in Logan, Utah, and features a black bucket-seat interior, a 340 V8 engine, and a clean title in the seller’s name. While the car is very much drivable today, it’s being sold as a restoration candidate, offering an ideal blend of immediate fun and long-term project potential.
This particular Duster left the factory with some serious performance hardware. It was optioned with the 3.91 axle package, which included power disc brakes, a power steering cooler, and a sure grip differential. Although the gearing has since been swapped to a more street-friendly 3.23 ratio, the car retains its sure grip rear end. Under the hood is a non-original but strong-running 340 engine, believed to be from 1969 or 1970, with desirable X heads. It’s backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic and still has its factory console and Tuff Wheel in place.
Inside, the car boasts deluxe door panels, a Rallye dash with a 150-mph speedometer and factory tach, and a full center console. According to the seller, the car is currently insured, registered, and driven regularly, making it one of those rare project cars you can actually enjoy while you wrench. It does have an exhaust leak and could benefit from cosmetic and structural attention, but it’s not a rust bucket.
As with many classic Mopars, the Duster has had its share of paintwork over the years—though not to a high standard. There’s rust reported in the rocker panels, lower quarters, and driver’s side floor, but the frame rails and trunk pan appear solid. In short, it’s exactly the kind of survivor you’d expect from a 50+ year-old A-body that’s never been completely torn down.
To sweeten the deal, the seller is including a large collection of parts—either for an added fee or included with a Buy It Now purchase. This list includes a new carpet kit, OEM hood scoops, heater box rebuild kit, extra instrument clusters and tail lights, interior trim, rubber seals, a Gull Wing spoiler kit, and much more.
With the tough looks, factory options, and extra parts stash, this Lemon Twist Duster is already a hit. Whether you restore it fully or preserve its current driver status, it’s a strong starting point for any Mopar fan.
Would you finish restoring this Duster—or just fix the exhaust and enjoy it as-is?
Before I look at the price, I usually take a guess for the first photo. This one looked interesting, the dash is filled with a tictok tach, which is unusual.
But the more I looked the value drops. Non numbers matching, Auto, torn up interior and LOTS of rust which will likely equal what you pay for the car.. Interesting color, but sort of a washed out yellow that isn’t a “high Impact” version.Prices are all over the place for Dusters, with the good ones selling for 30K and up.But this isn’t one of them right now. I would have guessed this at under 15K.
Wrongo, asking 24k
Good luck, there are a lot of project 340 Dusters out there for that price.
That’s definitely high-impact Lemon Twist on that car, but the high desert sun has stolen its impact, just as it’s stripped the car of most of its decals. It needs a complete refinish and new decals after the rust repairs, making the ask all the more outrageous.
It only needs – everything, but has the optional A/C delete package! Only $24K?!
Oh, $24,500..that kinda killed it for me…
And those decals aren’t cheap … I sold one once where the buyer wanted new decals … I agreed and threw them in with the deal … cost almost $500 against my gross …
I WILL GIVE 12,000.00 FOR IT AND NOT MORE BECAUSE OF RUST
