These remained unchanged through 1976.

The Duster coupe provided the compact-sized Plymouth Valiant with a sporty body style to attract customers. They actually used a wider front track than the rear to address the road manners. Bertsch was the director of the interior styling and design studio for much of his career.

Less than 2000 of the 1975 model Dusters left the factory equipped with the 360 engine. These new models were introduced to compete with the more upscale Ford Granada and Mercury Monarch.[15]. The Twister package presented the appearance of the Duster 340, but came only with the base I6 or 318 V8. to me, it is just an average car…an errand runner, and not worth more than $4,000.00. In late 80s and thru to mid 90s these were easy to pick up detail service or repairs and make a profit if you kept in a certain range of affordability. The carpet could very well be the original.

The taillights on previous years mounted from the inside and had a flush appearance. The Plymouth Duster introduced in late-1969 for the 1970 model year was all Valiant from the cowl forward, but the rest of the car's sheet metal, save door skins, was completely different. The front tread was increased from 57.5″ in 1972 to 59.1″ in 1973.

had their own set as the small block had their own and the big block had their own. Ralph Nadar should have wrote his book about this one.

I would sure guess this would be in the same league. Also a Space Duster package was offered. The Dodge version, the Demon, was rebranded "Dart Sport" in response to church groups opposition to the word, "Demon.". Wow! Thanks to Pat L. for sending in this tip! (This axle assembly replaced the 8.75" "drop-out" arrangement seen on some 1966-1972 A-bodies). Nice looking car at a good price!! The Valiants and Darts of that era came with bias ply tires (6.95×14″ in 1972), not radials. A new trim package was released, called the Duster Twister.
