Description/extras: Step back into the golden age of American muscle with this stunning 1974 Plymouth Duster, presented in its original Gold finish, now protected with a modern clear coat. This is more than a car; it’s a family heirloom and a labour of love, offered today for the next enthusiast to carry on the legacy.
Originally purchased new in 1974 and kept within the same family ever since, this Duster is a rare gem that has been meticulously maintained, upgraded, and cherished across generations.
Under the hood, you’ll find a built 1970 340 cubic inch V8 engine—a performance legend in its own right. This powerhouse has been completely rebuilt top to bottom, ensuring exhilarating performance and modern reliability.
Performance upgrades include Big X heads, which boast 2.02-inch intake valves and 1.60-inch exhaust valves. These deliver a serious punch whether you’re cruising the boulevard or leading the pack at a car meet.
A brand-new Edelbrock carburettor feeds the beast, ensuring crisp throttle response and enhanced airflow to maximise horsepower and torque.
Cooling has been thoroughly modernised, with a new 4-row aluminium radiator and an electric fan setup. These keep the powerful V8 running at optimal temperatures even on the hottest days.
The ignition system has been upgraded to a reliable MSD ignition, providing a stronger, more consistent spark for improved performance and drivability.
Backing up the incredible motor is a brand-new 727 3-speed automatic transmission, now featuring a custom overdrive unit that effectively turns it into a smooth 4-speed for both city cruising and highway runs.
A new driveshaft and a Sure-Grip rear end with new gears ensure that the Duster’s muscle is delivered to the pavement confidently and precisely.
A custom 4-link coil-over rear suspension setup, complete with traction bars, dramatically improves handling. It offers the perfect blend of ride comfort and razor-sharp control.
This Duster aggressively rides on 20-inch chrome “Chip Foose” wheels wrapped in new Nitto tires, striking a perfect balance between classic swagger and a modern stance.
Inside, the car features a stylish grey-on-grey interior, offering a clean and tasteful contrast to its gold exterior. The cabin comfortably seats six, staying true to its classic 2-door sedan roots.
While the car has seen tasteful modifications over the years, it proudly wears its original goldish-brown paint job. Minor rust spots have been professionally sealed under the clear coat to prevent any further deterioration.
Mechanically, this Duster is virtually new—it has a new engine, transmission with overdrive, gears, driveshaft, and suspension. The big-ticket items have all been taken care of for the next lucky owner.
Aside from some cosmetic imperfections in the paint, there are no known issues to report. This car starts, runs, and drives like a dream, offering an intoxicating blend of old-school charm and modern reliability.
If you’re seeking a classic that turns heads, rumbles with authority, and carries a rich family history, look no further. Bid now to own this incredible 1974 Plymouth Duster—an icon of American muscle, meticulously preserved and ready for its next adventure.
