Durability - lack-thereof - of "goods" manufactured in certain regions leads to full landfills, roadside disposals, busted knuckles, and leaded paint, etc., etc.

Then it comes down to, Will the items be shipped to a purchaser whose address is in the "no-go" zone. Case-in-point : I purchased a can of denatured alcohol from a store in Arizona. Sell went through just fine, but... "[We] cannot ship your purchase to [your state] due to restrictions on the sale of [denatured alcohol] in [your state-of-residence]. " My only recourse was to get denatured alcohol from out of state after I'd discovered that a certain appointed-position legislative , state-funded "board" had banned D.A. in 2008 ! But, no one would ship it to my address. Eventually I got my D.A. (along with some other banned-in-"Golden" State chemicals) upon my trip to Arizona the following year.

Not to mention that Grumpy's '70 Camaro had a faux RS fascia - he liked the look of the Endura bumper, but not its weight. That grille is a standard model, and the bumperettes are cut-back full bumper pieces.

The 1965 'A990' cars were all built in the Lynch Road Assembly ; all had a VIN prefix of either WO51 (Coronet) or RO51 (Belvedere) . IIRC, they were built in batches (i.e., dedicated run of them vs. slagging them in with regular Coronets and Belvederes) . Could very well be that Grumpy added that tail panel embellishment (not all together uncommon - look at how Sox & Martin embellished their RO23H7 with 'GTX' badges).

Public wearing of slothy attire is horribly common, and it speaks volumes about the flatulent blob who's decided to appear like they slept on a subway platform and then decided that a trip to the store would be a capitol idea

The F O R D emblems' alignments look goofy , not the trim (though I'm sure that that's questionable as well).

I call "deep fake" / "cheap fake" ! Hahaha ! The hood emblem looks like it's one of those fugly A.I. generated things that've been making the rounds here. I wonder if the seller will trade for tattoo work or reptile cages ?

The lovebug in the front here reminds me of a chaton my family had back in 1986. That dab of orange on the "scarab" part of the head ; the kitten we had was a "salt & pepper" tabby with a postage stamp sized orange on her "scarab". My little sister called her "Copper" (he identical sister was called "Blackfoot"). Lovely feline company there !

I've always wondered about the Strato-Vent (Chrysler's nomenclature) and its function(s). Seems like a concession for the 440 & Hemi cars when the 4-speed or multiple carbs or steep gearing was ordered (e.g., A/C not available).

Standard 3 speed floor shift , 3.23 ( IIRC, he added Sure Grip), and that's all. He now has Keystone Klassics ( rare small bolt pattern ) on it.

That B5 blue '72 LL23H belongs to my buddy Cliff Guidand of Edmonton !

IIRC, that same Camaro had its L-78 swapped to an LT-1 at some point. Likewise, its front rims were changed to the then-new Cragar Super Trick (available in the newer issue Grumpy's Vega).

IMO, the 1971 Duster door cards are 'close-enough' for the 1973 & later models (see image). [ EDIT ] : Yes, the uppers are different ; 1970-1972 are metal (and shaped differently) vs. the moulded plastic of the 1973 & later panels. I, too, have a '74 annual (as well as a '72 and '73) , which I've been planning to do that very bash you've presented.

I understand your logic. I was thinking in terms of the inner structure of the Duster , et al. , quarter panels ; their inner supports. Perhaps the inner structure wouldn't permit roll-down quarter windows ? That's dismissing the convex shape of the quarter glass. Just a supposition on my part.

Speaking of which - I'd love to see a 1971-1972 Swinger Special 340 !

The door glass alone was an engineering miracle on the 1970-1976 A body "29" body style. I can't image trying to get the quarter windows to roll up/down ! I'm sure there were structural considerations vs. "being cheap". The tilt quarter windows are one of my favourite features of the Duster (et alia). Works as a de facto backlight defogger , vent for the heater (draw-through) so that one doesn't get sleepy (ask me how I know ! Haha), and vent for those hot days when one doesn't want to leave the door glass even slightly opened.

The c.1998 ad sequitur "Mueller-Era" 1971 Duster 340 has a 'questionable' roof and C pillars . That then-new tooling body was sans the B pillars ; those were moulded with the quarter windows (which are "fun" to install, BTW - perhaps that's why so many of those are built without the quarter windows ?) Lesson you're talkin' 'bout the MPC original from 1971 ? The newly-tooled 1971 Demon body has been improved in many, many ways vs. the original MPC annual series from late 1970.

I looked over my go-to resource ( The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Library Page (1970 - 1974) (hamtramck-historical.com) ) ) and I couldn't find anything definitive insofar as TSB's / recalls. I only have anecdotal evidence ; early "smooth" lid (1970 model pictured , dated 09/1969 , likely a finalised prototype) , and the 'later' "ridged" lid (file photo) .
