I just met the owner Jimmy D., and saw this '72' Duster here in Bedford NJ at a local car show on Sunday 10/3/21. Nice job !' Graveyard Carz'. (AMX Stan ) NJ
That’s so cool meeting the Buster owner! I’m just an ozzie guy who love watching this show and gets why this show exists. I hope it continues on for some time to come 🤓❤️
First Duster 340 I ever drove was a shipmate's green 1970 model. I feel in love but had to wait two years as I was paying on another car. My '72 never disappointed me.
I met Jim at a car show today in NJ Memorial weekend. I immediately recognized the Duster from the episode of GYC. The Duster is magnificent, and Jim is an awesome guy too. His story about his original car, and the "Duster in the wind" car is so cool 😎 Great job GYC 👏 👍
What I like about great older car restores (especially 60s to '72) is the tradition. These guys keep tradition alive; the honor given to the evolution of automobile history for our times, and the people who gave their best to design and create them. For me, not a mechanic or a racer, that 72 Duster would be just close enough to be my cup of tea today. I'll be 72 next year.
Without a doubt I would take the Cuda to the drive-in! And he said his birthday was April 9th...same as mine. He just got his birthday present back - awesome!!!
The duster story choked me up a bit because my dad had a '72 duster 340 when I was a kid. I remember riding around in it as a youngster and the horn cracked me up (aoooga). It is my dream to have a '72 duster like my dad had. Congrats to him on his new duster
First let me say I have just found this channel and I love Mopar's. I owned a 70 Duster with a slant six. When the timing chain broke and took out that engine, we transplanted a 360 4 speed in it. I still have night mares remembering taking a 340 Duster's 4 speed(the engine was toast) Took the rally speedo, and K member for 360, and pushed over a bank at the dump. Now remember this 340 car was probably better than my old duster, I was 17 and stupid. The 360 I got out of a Coronet. In the end I drove the car maybe 5 miles and sold it to a guy for parts. Now for the GTX with the serial # mistake on the 440. Earlier the guy that bought the car bought it knowing that the engine was not numbers matching. Yes, I know it is entirely the wrong code for that engine, but it does have the correct serial # for the car, so I would say it was restamped for that car, and the one that did it did not know how.
My best friend had TWO '72 dusters when we were in highschool lots of memories there.I didn't own my own Mopar til yrs later when I bought my '72 charger.
Absolutely beautiful I remember as a kid my uncle had one of these in yellow and black interior, and his brother my dad had a 69 charger R/T I remember sitting in my uncles car, comparing the dashboard and the gauges thinking my dad’s car looks so much cooler than this one. lol
My mom had a Plymouth duster bany blue with a white stripe even had a fold down rear seat and space where it had access directly into the trunk, we were poor so my mom would have us hide in that space where the rear set folded to go to the drive in movie theater in Whitestone theater in the Bronx that car even took some bullet holes guy got killed right next to the car water would leak into the bullet holes. We use to edge mont to do burn outs 😂😂 this was just part of the environment i grew up on. But the show brought bsck memories of the car it was cool 😎
The Duster reminds me of my brother’s car, was a really fast car! Then he upgraded the electronic ignition to a gold box! That upgrade made it like high winding stock car, was super fast at 7500 rpm!!!
I had a 1972 Duster Mediterranean Blue 340 or on the floor Heard it Through the PX and Japan local California I loved it or is it still had it good luck I like your show
Had a 71 duster twister same color with the black stripes. 318/3speed. Always kept in a carport. Bought from the original owner for 475.00. Wish I could still buy 1969 r/t chargers in great shape for 600.00. 😆
I hear you..got a Triumph motorcycle..matching eng and frame no 00057...totally original...from old triumph stuff, a 1968 t 150 prototype, 1 of 50 made at BSA, sent to the USA for evaluation, then shipped to Aust as part of a container load of odd bikes and parts.... apparently....gotta love rabbit holes!!!!👍
Dam it took three years to do the duster? Surprisingly the owner is still alive to pick it up. The reason they call it graveyard cars is that you will be in the graveyard by the time they finish your ride.
I had a 73 Duster w/318, drove it twice cross country. This was in '79-'80. Great car, nothing particularly special about it. One night I had it parked on the street and some drunk crashed mightily into the drivers rear quarter panel...after that it would only drive sideways.
Awesome engine info. Man watching someone pull out a manufacturers calendar or code book was Kool bro. The 383 mistake would be awesome to get full story at some point. Nowing last 8 match is great. But finding out why and who switched what should not be a crime. By all means it was stamped with matching 8 on match engine and trans when vin# was place on car. Wonder if the original superbee WH23 body ever got built with a different engine which left that 383 on the block for install. Is there any way to find out with that code book/ calendar.
I was wondering how long it would be before they ran out of Chargers, Cudas, Challengers, Road Runners, R/Ts and Road Runners. Maybe do a Dart, Valiant, early Barracuda for a change?
We think our 70 Duster in that funky green black stripe 340 looks almost as good as the day we got it in 1976 , after a good buff it still shines like new, original is only once..? We kept the original tranny put it in a box , replaced it with a Muncie 4 speed , new clutch and a set of tuned headers , everything else is original except the windshield its new on our 70 340 duel points Plymouth Duster.
why not do more shows on darts demons and dusters some older models ofcars would be cool also like corenets early cuda at 1972 all got low compresion and detuned
If you look at 40:06 - 40:10 there are pics of his original, and it had the longer 72 tail lights, and this grill. I thought the grill was a 71 only, but starting to think other wise. Maybe it is an earlier build 72, and they were using up what was left of the left over grills from 71.. Also think all 340 cars came standard with the rally dash (round tack-round speedo) Maybe Tony would know for sure.
My guess is that its been re-stamped, the motor vin i mean. The same car flippers so to speak were used to re forging GM type cars sadly were they didnt say what type of car like mopar did.
Excuse me for asking, but why would anyone want to drive around in a "mod top"??? Thankfully they only made them for 2 years, 1969 & 1970. Just a guess on my part, but I would say the guys that got one new were probably stoned out of their minds!!
well i heard my uncle blew a 440 or big block super bee up in first gear i have no idea it it was auto trans or standard ps he worked at a dodge/ Plymouth factory from like 1968 - 1987 or longer ps could the motor be changed in factory during testing!! ps it failed it blew up!! my one uncle died of cancer quick after the viewing my other uncle Bill had a meeting with treats & had a few beers then he told me about they got the car shipped in! to there factory it was made in other dodge factory to make final to dealers! in there area there was like 5 or 6 states Newark Delaware
A new car and paint job; so nice. However, I would kill your crew for leaning over the fenders and risking scratches. It's so unnecessary when covers are so easy to use!
What does dough have to do with a timing light? I didn't see anything in this episode that they needed to check the timing on, the cars were running already, after being rebuilt!! I've never had dough with any timing light I've used!! Was it cookie dough or bread dough, I like chocolate chip best, & I do like sourdough😂😂😂😂
REALLY!? You’d have been embarrassed to take your dad’s van to the show. You might as well have come with a 4 door rambler. The cuda would have put your ego on the moon and you’d be “the man” showing up with that car for all to see and envy.
Sir, the stance on this Duster is spot on

This is the best car I have ever seen you do! hands down!! what a story. Thank You so much for sharing this with us
I might cause friction by saying this, but the slant-six was a mightily good engine.
Oh definitely that straight six engine is basically bulletproof it’s all good
Yes it was my uncle had one in a 72 duster run great for ever what killed it was rust in the body!
Yes, but...
Not for high performance
Yep, All you needed to do was keep oil in it, and that thing would run forever!
Every car has a story.. Very nice 1972 dodge duster.
This stamping discussion is fascinating…the most entertaining episode period! Very little schtick in this show…very refreshing.
Will does an excellent job of painting, one of the best!!!

Fantastic episode. I love the Duster. You made a man's dream come true...
Old mopars on Steelies or cragars just do it for me. Love the duster. Mark is the man!
I put E-T alum. slots on my '76 Duster back in the day.
Love that duster with the green one of my favorite Color’s this duster looks beyond good better than factory well done grave yard cars
Without a doubt I would take the Cuda to the drive-in! And he said his birthday was April 9th...same as mine. He just got his birthday present back - awesome!!!

Hey Mark, we go to the neutral gate whenever stopped and at idle to avoid excess wear on the throwout bearing.
Just great, fantastic work to all of you. Nice turnout Mark.
I love A body’s especially 4 gear with a sure grip with some 391 gears great job again worman does some fine fine cars well done to the whole shop
Love the stance on that Duster! Reminds me of my '73 Dart Sport (318, Convertriple) that I used to have.
My best friend had TWO '72 dusters when we were in highschool lots of memories there.I didn't own my own Mopar til yrs later when I bought my '72 charger.

Well in my opinion I think he is the best painter in the business today especially when it comes to Mopars
You have never seen me paint a car then
@@larrycrouse yep you're right I haven't I'm sure you do an awesome job
The Duster reminds me of my brother’s car, was a really fast car! Then he upgraded the electronic ignition to a gold box! That upgrade made it like high winding stock car, was super fast at 7500 rpm!!!
One of my favorite shows Jim was taken bsck to his youth you could see it in his eyes
Heartwarming story, especially for Mopar-ites. 😎🎱☮🔊🖖👍
Strong looking Duster . Looks great .
I had a 1972 Duster Mediterranean Blue 340 or on the floor Heard it Through the PX and Japan local California I loved it or is it still had it good luck I like your show

Plymouth Duster 340: top shelf of the A-body platform
I hear you..got a Triumph motorcycle..matching eng and frame no 00057...totally original...from old triumph stuff, a 1968 t 150 prototype, 1 of 50 made at BSA, sent to the USA for evaluation, then shipped to Aust as part of a container load of odd bikes and parts.... apparently....gotta love rabbit holes!!!!👍
Ah common guys, it was NEW GUY FRIDAY at the plant!!! The old guys were out back smokin dope.
Finally an A body
Doug is my new favorite character on this sitcom.
Dam it took three years to do the duster? Surprisingly the owner is still alive to pick it up. The reason they call it graveyard cars is that you will be in the graveyard by the time they finish your ride.
love your show mopar all day long!
Very very beautiful car I would own that gem any day!
I had a 73 Duster w/318, drove it twice cross country. This was in '79-'80. Great car, nothing particularly special about it. One night I had it parked on the street and some drunk crashed mightily into the drivers rear quarter panel...after that it would only drive sideways.
about time they did a duster
Bought a 71 340 Duster used when I was 18 and sold it at 25. Still have dreams about driving that car. Maybe they could build me one?
Doug's got YOUR number, matey.
OK, my 1970 Plymouth Duster next please!
Awesome engine info. Man watching someone pull out a manufacturers calendar or code book was Kool bro. The 383 mistake would be awesome to get full story at some point. Nowing last 8 match is great.

As a ex GM tech if your trans goes out we whould put what we had in it and it could have been from that model check to see if it had warranty issues
Or more than likely you would order one, not too many dealerships are going to keep an engine or transmission sitting around on the shelves😂😂
that is beautiful mark and crew
I was wondering how long it would be before they ran out of Chargers, Cudas, Challengers, Road Runners, R/Ts and Road Runners. Maybe do a Dart, Valiant, early Barracuda for a change?
If I had the money; my Dream Car Order would be a 68 Charger identical to the one in Bullitt. Seen enough Bullitt Mustangs.

why not do more shows on darts demons and dusters
some older models ofcars would be cool also like corenets early cuda at 1972 all got low compresion and detuned
THIS , is why I watch.
There coming to get you Barbra!!!
My first car @ 16 was a 72 duster yellow with black hood and yellow hood scoops
amazing job-how much did it cost?...........
The Duster stance is proper.
I gotta know. What was the price tag?
That’s a 71 grill, the 72 had a grill that looked very similar to the 1970 grill. The shark tooth was for 71 model cars
If you look at 40:06 - 40:10 there are pics of his original, and it had the longer 72 tail lights, and this grill.
I thought the grill was a 71 only, but starting to think other wise. Maybe it is an earlier build 72, and they were using up what was left of the left over grills from 71.. Also think all 340 cars came standard with the rally dash (round tack-round speedo) Maybe Tony would know for sure.
My guess, the other way around. The chop shop changed the vin to match the stamp after a motor swap
Nice Duster - what's the story behind the side mirrors?
My guess is that its been re-stamped, the motor vin i mean. The same car flippers so to speak were used to re forging GM type cars sadly were they didnt say what type of car like mopar did.
lmfao the frankenstein
Will is painting guru
Has Graveyard Carz ever done a Mod Top? I'd like to see that.
Excuse me for asking, but why would anyone want to drive around in a "mod top"??? Thankfully they only made them for 2 years, 1969 & 1970. Just a guess on my part, but I would say the guys that got one new were probably stoned out of their minds!!
Duster was nice!!
That Duster came out Awesome, can you tell us what was the price tag for that build please
80
Daytona 4 speed blg block plum crazy purple 💜
well i heard my uncle blew a 440 or big block super bee up in first gear i have no idea it it was auto trans or standard ps he worked at a dodge/ Plymouth factory from like 1968 - 1987 or longer ps could the motor be changed in factory during testing!! ps it failed it blew up!! my one uncle died of cancer quick after the viewing my other uncle Bill had a meeting with treats & had a few beers then he told me about they got the car shipped in! to there factory it was made in other dodge factory to make final to dealers! in there area there was like 5 or 6 states Newark Delaware
Best one ever 💯😎
Is that black silicon on the pan gasket? If it is the gasket will leak . There is something way better ,but , go figure it out.
The 72 has 71 grill between the headlights
I'll take the Cuda😁
👍👍👍
He won't enjoy that Duster for long if he keeps driving on the wrong side of those solid yellow lines!
Especially meeting up with a big truck coming at him😂😂😂
A new car and paint job; so nice. However, I would kill your crew for leaning over the fenders and risking scratches. It's so unnecessary when covers are so easy to use!
Why are the Taillights black??? They should be Argent.......
OE Correct (Original episode) = Graveyard Carz S10-E11 Duster in The Wind (Again!)
Someone contact Freiburger. I see a Thermoquad.
Cuda all the way. Not too many chicks wanted to be picked up in something without a backseat.
I'm takin my baby in the vert
cool
I would take the t100 van
I’m sure i saw this yesterday
I love the show, but why do you frequently lean on freshly painted fenders without a cover? As a mechanic I cringe every tiime.
Yes I’m first to comment winner winner chicken dinner
Just got a notice for the same video as I got yesterday. Come on guys.
10/10
Hate to burst your bubble! But the driver's side decal is higher on the body line & The passenger's side is below the body line!
There is a thing called a timing light dough !
What does dough have to do with a timing light?
I didn't see anything in this episode that they needed to check the timing on, the cars were running already, after being rebuilt!!
I've never had dough with any timing light I've used!! Was it cookie dough or bread dough, I like chocolate chip best, & I do like sourdough😂😂😂😂
Ricky bobby nice
Needs to be x-rayed to see if its a restamp,
REALLY!? You’d have been embarrassed to take your dad’s van to the show. You might as well have come with a 4 door rambler. The cuda would have put your ego on the moon and you’d be “the man” showing up with that car for all to see and envy.
8/13/68 was a Tuesday
Sorry Mark, but at 43:36 you can see that motor smoking. Not too good for a total resto.
The convertible
Cuda no brainer
Looks like I'll be taking the Dodge truck with the hemi blown cuz that purple one stealing pieces I'm driving the one that works peace out
Give us a cuda fast back rebuild then Give it to me
Well that's simple, how many cudas are going to be there vs a truck wagon?Take the truck.
GIMME AN A! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!😄
