1975 Plymouth Valiant Duster Coupe

The Plymouth Duster appeared in 1970 and was mildly restyled every subsequent year from 1971-1975.

The Duster was built on the Valiant platform with the same front end sheet metal but different sheet metal from the cowl back. The Duster had a fuselage styled semi-fastback body and was created to replace the Barracuda which had moved up to its own 'E-Body' series.

The Duster was designed to compete with the Ford Maverick and succeeded in boosting Plymouth up.

The 1975 Duster models were mostly unchanged from the previous two years, with some exceptions. This included a new grille with a return of the Plymouth 3-pointed 'spear' in the grille's center. Catalytic converters were added to the 225 Slant Six and 318 V8 models, while the 360 was not equipped with a converter and it produced 235 horsepower, due to the addition of a 'secondary air injection' system or 'smog pump'. Less than 2,000 of the 1975 model Dusters left the factory equipped with the 360 engine.

This particular 1975 Duster two-door Coupe is an original, 11,614 mile, un-restored car that came with the standard 225 cubic inch 6-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission, the bench seat Interior. It is finished in the original Deep Sherwood Poly paint.
