this is possibly a calling card for a painter... because WHY would you do this on purpose? It's TOOOO much

terrific 72 Duster (best looking year for the Duster) with tiny wheelie bars, and running on Firestones

Wow, power to weight (and traction) means more on the strip than anything else, as proven by a 69 COPO 427 Chevelle racing a ‘71 Duster 340 at the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race 2025, and only winning by one 1/10th of a second... 12.0 to 12.1 for the Duster.

very similar top end speeds too... 114 and 112. 

That 340 is a damn good motor. 

I want to emphasis.... a STOCK 340 Duster damn near tied a COPO 427 Chevy. Seriously, why waste your money on a COPO 427 when it's not any better than a 340 Duster that likely cost 1/3rd as much, and has parts that you could replace from a junkyard. You are not ever going to get COPO 427 parts in a junkyard

A 440 six pack road runner at the same race pulled a 12.54 at 112. So... damn, that 340 Duster was perfectly set up and 4/10ths faster than a 440 A12 Road Runner

Unexpectedly, HBO Max cancelled season 2 of the J.J. Abrams muscle car era murder mystery, Duster... and for some reason, Hagerty waited until 2 days later to give it great free publicity, a month ago, it might have helped that show get the viewers needed to stay alive for a 2nd season

Here's the summary by Hagerty, that could have saved the show by attracting more viewers with such high praise

Duster pays playful tribute to ‘70s movies from Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid to Blaxploitation, and its stacked main cast frequently sport some of the coolest leather jackets you’ve ever seen. But its diverse collection of machines makes it a must-see for classic-car enthusiasts. Duster is a gift to gearheads.

at least they faked the lake, and the car didn't actually get partly submerged.

Set in 1972 Arizona/New Mexico, follows the first black woman in the FBI and a gutsy getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate. (new tv series on Max, with the name Duster, starring Josh Holloway and Keith David)

thank you Marc! 

Leading up the cast of the series is Josh Holloway, who Abrams had in mind when co-writing the series. He stars as Jim, a getaway driver who is brought into an FBI mission. Rachel Hilson also has a lead role as Nina, a new FBI agent who enlists Jim in her effort to take down a crime boss. Keith David appears as Ezra, the crime boss whom the two pursue.

The series was given a straight to series green-light at HBO Max in April 2020, as part of J. J. Abrams' overall deal at WarnerMedia. The series was co-created and co-written by Abrams and LaToya Morgan. The first season has eight episodes, the first two written by the creators. Steph Green is also an executive producer, and she directed the first two episodes.

In March 2021, Josh Holloway was cast to star in the pilot, with filming beginning in October 2021 in Tucson. In February 2023, the series was officially given a series order, with Rachel Hilson announced as a co-lead. Corbin Bernsen was announced in a recurring role the following month.

Production for the full series began in April 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the surrounding areas. In May, it was suspended due to the 2023 WGA strike. Before the strike, the pilot was shot in downtown Tucson, Arizona, and parts of Pima County from September through mid-November 2021.

the Duster was nearly branded with the WB Tasmanian Devil character, following the success of the Road Runner, inexpensively licensing that character from WB. But no agreement was achieved, and the car’s name instead referenced the Taz “dust devils”

Keep in mind that the Super Bee was a Dodge/Mopar invention for much the same reason, once Chrysler realized how much better the Road Runner was selling, they began the sticker thing, as far as I know... with the 67 Road Runner 

this might be the nicest a Feather Duster has ever been

I wouldn't have thought a Hellcat motor could fit in a 70 Duster

It's been too long since I've seen anyone actually drive a cool Duster. What the hell ever happened to enjoying a low priced cool small block? Does everyone treat them like museum pieces now?

someone just blew 250k to restore a 1971 Duster 340 4 speed. Someone bought it from them at auction for 150k. Both, are extremely wealthy, but, how either felt that a Duster was worth over 50k is a mystery

Pretty cool way to dress up a 73 Duster, put 1969 440 Barracuda hood scoops on it

his kids and grand kids planned this out really well... and timed it perfectly

 

I miss the days when you could find great muscle cars all over the place with day two upgraded rims, tire, mufflers

the Fall 2023 Calvin Klein campaign, by Inez and Vinoodh, has a '70 440 Duster, and a parking garage as the setting, the soundtrack is "Cars" by Gary Numan

A Duster a Demon a Dart

damn, I love car shows with a wide variety of makes and models, and Goodguys certainly has a lot of everything, like this 71 Duster, I haven't seen a cool duster in years, lots of 73, 74s, but the 71, 72 are getting really rare

great choice of rims too

this looks restored

74 Duster that was stuffed with a new hemi
