I finally got my FIRST car, FIRST MOPAR, a 1974 Plymouth Duster. As some of you may remember, I'm new to cars as a whole.

I've noticed that MOPARs have ABCDEF body styles? How do I find out what body style my MOPAR is?

Thanks.

 

You've got an A body! What engine's in that car?

Awesome! Thanks!

But at the moment it's the slant six, I have a 360 that I wanna drop in there when I'm done rebuilding it.

 

Welcome to the forum Rex! When you get a chance, post some pics of your car under "member rides".

 

Welcome to the forum.... I love the A bodies also......

 

Thank you, thank you.

As soon as I have time I'll take a couple pics and put them up.

Thanks again!

 

WELCOME dust that baby off and get her done! there aint to body like an A body and there aint no car but a mopar!

 

you have an A body
it is among the lightest of the mopars

 

Wow, I did not know that.... That's awesome!

 

Congrats, Dusters are great and fun to drive.

 

one other tidbit of info that you may find interesting. Of all the years that Duster were made, the 1974 dusters had the highest production numbers. They actually made over 250,000 duster in 1974. I am not sure 100% but I believe this would be the all time high figure for ALL A-Bodies ever made. (specific model in 1 year). To say that the 1974 Duster were a sucsess would be an understatement! I remember back then, everybody had one. {or a VW Bug}

 

Not quite I do belive the A body line has been around since the 60's and the abodys dominated then market back then as well i could be wrong

 

well according to what I have read, in 1974, 281,378 dusters were produced.
I dont think any other A-body SPECIFIC model ever exceeded that number.
Think about it, that is a whole sh*t-load of dusters.

 

lol, guess they're all over the place, huh?

 

yes they are take away one of those numbers though, I scrapped one gold duster at that

 

well, I dont know how many are left. One good thing about it is they are easier to find parts for, especially at swap meets. now you can even get replacement sheetmetal for them. quater panels etc. great car to work with. good luck with yours!

 

Thanks! I'm hoping to make her into a beast!

 

deff theres so much cool stuff to do with a duster, I have a dart sport that will never get done but I love the body style

 

OMG i have a 1974 duster too!! also my first car!!

 

lets see some pics juven, move over to member rides and start a thread with your car in it love an A body

 

Ha-hah! That's awesome! How old are you if you don't mind me asking.
