Dodge Demon 340 CI 1971

General description : BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED, CODE 29 DEMON, 340 V8, 4BBL, AUTO, A/C, JUST FINISHED!!!

Big power in a small package is always a great recipe for performance, and few cars do it better than this 1971 Dodge Dart Demon. Freshly built with just 3 miles on the clock (yep, you read that right), it has been pumped up with a great-running 340, a rebuilt TorqueFlite, and a great paint job that is both subtle and sophisticated.
This cool Dart has had a lot of time and money invested to transform it into the gorgeous Demon you see today. 100% rust-free from the start, it was given a full repaint inside and out in the correct GF3 Medium Green by a bunch of guys who clearly knew what they were doing. The finish is dazzling in the sunlight, where the gold undertones of the paint really sparkle, and correct reproduction Demon graphics and stripes were installed at the same time. Factory hood scoops were part of the package (this is a Chrysler muscle car, after all), giving it an aggressive look that will have competitors thinking twice about tangling with this Dart. Correct Demon badges were fitted, and all the chrome and stainless was shined up. There was simply nothing else on the road in 1971 that could compare to a Demon, especially at the price, and it remains true today.
Inside, an all-new two-tone green interior was supplied by Legendary and helps bolster the Demon's no-frills street cred. The two-tone upholstery gives it an upscale look, and the rubber floor coverings promise zero maintenance. Glancing at the fender tag, this car was just about as stripped as you could get, although the original owner did specify an AM radio, which remains in the dash. Standard equipment included a pretty comprehensive array of gauges, and an aftermarket A/C setup hangs under the dash, so it looks like it might have been installed by the dealer back in '71. Everything remains in excellent condition, and it's clear that someone really loved this car. No frills, but that was entirely the point of the Demon, and you can easily see how it would be able to catch people unaware.
A glance at the fender tag will tell you that this was originally a six-cylinder car, but today there's a built 340 under the hood, and it was built to rock. Finished to look highly authentic, the engine wears proper Hemi Orange paint, and the crinkle finish on the air cleaner and cast aluminum valve covers looks suitably butch. A 4-barrel carburetor feeds the strong-running small block and a set of shorty headers manage exhaust, and there's nothing like the ripping snarl of a highly-wound small block to attract attention. Underneath, the recent restoration is very apparent, as there's no trace of rust or rot anywhere on the chassis and it's beautifully detailed with new parts everywhere you look. The TorqueFlite automatic was rebuilt and feeds an 8.75-inch rear end. It wears cool 15-inch aluminum wheels that look straight out of the pages of Hot Rod magazine and they wear staggered 205/65/15 front and 225/60/15 rear performance radials.
With a new-found emphasis on performance and economy, this Demon is the right muscle car for our times. You also won't find a nicer one, because someone spent way out of proportion to the sticker price to make this one of the best. Call today!

About Dodge
Dodge Brothers Company, founded by Horace and John Dodge in 1900, initially produced components for car manufacturers. In 1914 they stepped into car manufacturing when introducing four-cylinder Dodge Model 30 with all-steel body and 12v electric system.

By 1920 Dodge had become the second biggest car manufacturer in the USA, unfortunately the same year both of the brothers died, the company in turn to was sold to Chrysler Corporation in 1928. Dodge found a niche Chrysler Corporation lineup above low-priced Plymouth and medium-priced DeSoto, but somewhat below the top-of-the-line Chrysler
