Looks like a 1971 Plymouth Duster to me.

318 is a V8. They did make a slant 6 version. That slant six engine lasted forever for the times.

My Mom drove a Duster and my grandfather went on and on about the slant 6. I knew that was a duster immediately. Thx for the details!

Couldn't kill em, but they couldn't pass the emissions standards of the 80s.

Ah, the 318... I had a '72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring with that engine.

The B-52s were right. That thing could drive faster than the speed of light...

Same, but a '73. Mine died when it chucked a connecting rod.

Weird thing is it would usually have a duster or demon sticker just past the door.

I think it depended on the model..some had stripes with Duster near the front..some had the Duster emblem on the front fender and some had the duster sticker on the rear by the tail lights.
