I don`t know if the Colletis had more than 1 Duster, or if it was repainted later on, but the "Riddler" Duster that I remember seeing in the 1972-74 period was much more colorful. It had a very elaborate pinstripe "maze" on the hood, with some very bright green accents. It certainly stood out, and considering some of the wild physcidylic(sp) paint schemes of the day, thats saying something!

Back in the very early '70s I had a friend named Charlie Malyuke, who worked in the machine shop at Gary Ostrich's engine building faciliy in Nevada, IOWA. They did contract work for the Chrysler Corporation back when it apparently had plenty of money to do things "right."

I needed a cam for my 340 street racer (did I say THAT???), and told Charlie. He walked over to a shelf and pulled off a used 340 cam and said; "This one will pick your car up a bunch.

It did... about 3 car-lengths over the stock 340 cam.

It turned out to be the cam that was in the Winternationals-winning Coletti "Riddler."
Coletti had sent that Stocker engine to Gary Ostrich to have it converted to a Super Stocker, and now, it was the cam without a home... until Gary sold it to me. Sixty dollars with the original lifters, identified as to which lobes they were "married" to.. and a new set of 340 valve springs... such a deal!!! Three car lengths for sixty bucks!!!

My '64 Valiant 340 2-door, that was the recipient of that cam was the only car I ever owned that never lost a race (probably ran a scorching 12.80...), but you have to love a car that never lets you down... LOL! That was a Lunati grind called "The Riddler," I later found out.

Sold the whole car for $350.00 in 1980, when I moved to California. Yeah; I'm a genius, for sure...
