By 1971 Plymouth Division made the necessary refinements to make the Duster 340 interior one of the best layouts of the era. Show quality restored back to it's factory issue L6X9 (Black vinyl Bucket seats) by way of Year One, this interior looks as good as it did the day it left the Hamtramck gates in 1971 with everything functional and in perfect working order right down to it's original pushbutton Music Master AM radio.
The Premium fuel 340 wedge was built stricty as a street performance engine that featured; high lift cam, 10.25:1 compression, windage tray, J heads and specialized pistons that brought 275HP and 340 ft lbs of torque to the party. This engine has been professionaly re-built accurate to it's original 71 275HP specifications with everything sitting in an absolutely immaculate engine bay. Although not the original 340 for the car, this is a May/71 date coded H Code 340 with every other aspect of this drivetrain original to the car from it's Torqueflite transmission right back to it's Suregrip axle.
