The Pedigree: 3x National Magazine Feature Car
This is a documented piece of muscle car history. This Duster has been featured in three national magazines, including a major spread in Mopar Muscle. With only 25,641 original miles on the odometer, it is one of the lowest-mileage foundations ever used for a build of this caliber.
Mechanical Excellence: Ray Barton 472 HEMI
The heart of this vehicle is a Ray Barton 472ci HEMI (built on a 426 block) featuring:
• Internal Components: Eagle crankshaft, H-beam rods, and Diamond pistons.
• The Heads: MP aluminum heads, professionally ported by the legendary Dorton's in Charlotte, NC.
• Induction: Correct 1969 HEMI Dual Carter 4-barrel carburetors (#4619, #4621).
• Valvetrain: Dick Landy stainless roller rockers.
• Drivetrain: Rebuilt 727 TorqueFlite feeding an 8.75-inch Sure-Grip rear end with 3.55:1 gears.
• Exhaust: TTI 3-inch system with X-pipe and DynoMax mufflers.
Chassis and Suspension Upgrades
Unlike standard muscle cars, this Duster features modern geometry for superior driveability:
• Magnum Force Tubular K-Member and QA1 Coilover front suspension.
• Rack and Pinion Steering for precision control.
• NASCAR-style front sway bar and engine bay bracing.
• Braking: Front disc brakes with stainless fuel and brake lines throughout.
Exterior and Interior: Show-Quality Sublime Green
The rotisserie restoration is evident everywhere you look. The car is finished in high-impact Sublime Green, with the body color extending through the engine bay and the undercarriage. It features the iconic black vinyl roof, satin black hood scoop, and a custom Feather Duster aluminum deck lid. Inside, you will find the factory-correct Green Vinyl interior, meticulously preserved to match its low-mileage history.
Documentation and Turnkey Readiness
The sale includes a comprehensive binder of restoration photos, magazine features, and the custom vehicle show display board. This is a turnkey showpiece ready for a private collection or the local show circuit.
