With public interest in Nostalgia Pro Stock racing on the rise, the owner of this original 1970 Plymouth Duster Pro Stocker may have felt this was as good of a time as any to sell, because that’s exactly what they’ve done.

This Chrysler factory Hemi-powered race car was purchased by its current owner back in 1982 and has been stored and meticulously up-kept in its original condition in California for the last 29 years. It is said to have been campaigned as a factory Pro Stock entry through the 1976 season and to this day, is still in the original condition and appearance that it was in when it was retired from active racing duty around 1980. Although a ’70 model Duster, it was updated in exterior appearance each season, thus its 1976 model year look as any Mopar aficionado can clearly discern.

As the story goes, when the team split up at the conclusion of the 1980 season, one of the partners in the team retained the chassis, while the other had dibs on the engine and transmission, so unfortunately the car is minus its original drivetrain. The rest of the car, however, is untouched from how it left the track three decades ago, with items such as the fiberglass hood, doors and other body panels, wheels and tires, gauges, suspension, rear end housing, gears and axles, and many other parts and pieces all right where they were when the car was sold.

This car is said to have originally been campaigned in Pro Stock in the NHRA’s Division 7, but despite and efforts of the owner and several message board go’ers to track down some additional facts about the car and it’s original owner/driver, no positive identification has been made. Nonetheless, we’re certainly looking at a piece of drag racing history, and unlike many of the barn finds and long-since rusted buckets that collectors and restorers have to deal with, this car doesn’t need much more than running gear to get it back on the track.
