Steve Clukey's 1970 Plymouth Duster 440 - Drag Racing Legend?
Acquiring this 1970 Plymouth Duster 440 brand new as a 340 powered Mopar when he returns from Vietnam, Steve Clukey has never stopped enhancing and drag racing it. Well known for his consistent single digit quarter mile passes all over the east coast it's a pleasure for us to have his story on Hot American Cars. Steve shared with us that the American Pro Stock drag racer Herb McCandless who is also a good friend of his inspires him to return on the strip with the 1970 Plymouth Duster 440 every single season. Going faster each year and having people asking questions about the set up is Steve's motovtion. Steve's Son Chad Clukey provided us with some cool drag racing footage from that last 10 years, the recently acquired new 440 Small Block Mopar engine doing few dyno pulls, and of course Steve and the 1970 Plymouth Duster in action. A 5-minute video I believe every Mopar fan will enjoy watching.
