38 Years Ago

[1940plymouth]

Since my coupe is laid up for the time bieng, I was going thru some old photos, thought I would share this one with all of you. It was taken in 1972 on the back roads outside of Topeka, Kansas while I was stationed at Forbes AFB. It is a 1972 Duster Twister. One that I wish I still had.

I bought it at Jim Clarke Chrysler-Plymouth in Topeka.

I wonder if they are still in business?

Hope everyone has a good day,

Were the twisters 340 cars?

My 71 Duster was a 340.

I had a three speed on the floor with the 318, along with a bench seat, nothing fancy, but it was a good car just the same

Bob, I had a 1972 Duster Twister too, 340 4 spd, great car, took out a lot of Chebbys and Furds with that machine. I had headers and few other itmes on it too, went like crazy...........Fred PS only had it about a year or so, around 1980

Looks like a used car dealership these days.

Twister was a trim package. You could get one with a slant six too.

A six or 318 gave you the look of the 340 package without the insurance costs

In '73 I bought my first Mopar. A '69 Plymouth Roadrunner. Nothing beat me except another Mopar.
