My wife's 70 duster

[Drache]

Those were only on 340 cars in 1970 and different ones like shown above on Duster 340/Twisters (slant or 318) in 1971 / 72

this would be the stripes on a 70 Duster...but not on a slant 6 or 318 car.  

The OP does state that the paperwork for the car shows the car was a 340 car originally.

[crj1968]

Yeah but.....

I confirmed it is a 318. Just decoded the fender tag and it was originally a slant 6 white exterior and blue interior. 
It also said it had black "transverse " stripes.

Slant six car with transverse stripe call out on fender tag ?  Strange, I've owned over a dozen Dusters and have never seen a slant car with factory stripes.   

Anyway...who knows, stranger things have happened.

Missed that part on being 6 cylinder.

But according to this Plymouth dealership book, any Duster was available to get the stripe for "Extra Cost"  



And even shows a normal duster with the stripe:

Hi guys
I appreciate all of this good information.  From what I have learned about it it looks like the fender tag says it was originally a slant six. One of the previous owners put in a 340 and then the owner before me put I a 318 and 904.

[crj1968]

Drache, but that's a 73 not a 70.    

73 and up Gold Dusters, feather dusters and all those goofy ones had stripes. But in 70 I think only 340.... I dunno

Is there any risks with posting a fender tag online? I have a picture of mine...

[Alaskan_TA]

I cropped my photo because I do not own the car, but any risk is minimal, people post their tags all the time.

Well there ya have it !   

Dont think I've ever seen a non 340 70 with stripes....or I'm losing my mind.

Scheduled for a late build, what month does the Mylar door sticker show?

[johnnycharger]

Don't know. I can look into it in a few days.  I am currently  camping with the family and sneaking on the forum when the wife isn't looking. ..

The door sticker says 7-70.

[johnnycharger]

Any idea what this is?

[crj1968]

I believe it's an inspection tag.

[Alaskan_TA]

Inspected by I & 15 - whoever they may be.

[johnnycharger]

Thanks guys! Always great info. I have a few more questions. ... at this point is it proper etiquette to rename the thread?

[Alaskan_TA]

Change the 73 to 70 at least.

Do you guys know what emblems should be on the fenders originally? We are going to the swap meet Saturday. ...

[crj1968]

two emblems on each fender

these.

and this x2 of course

[crj1968]

and placed like so




The "Duster"  one in 1970 may have been a sticker... I know it was a sticker for 340 cars.   

Yes according to year one info the "duster" was a decal not an emblem.
