I had a 1972 Dart Demon 340 4spd in 1980. It was canary yellow with black interior with a bench seat. It had the same black dual snorkel scoop on the hood. It was all original and stock.
Love your presentation style: jam-packed with detail and no flim-flam.
I bid you a speedy recovery on your health. You are a naturally gifted narrator and your knowledge is endless and presentation of it is seamless.
My thoughts with you and yours during these challenging times.👍
I'm happy that Amt is reissuing this as a kit after 50 yrs
I didn’t know that!!
This started life as a six cylinder car with the VIN for the win: L for Dart, L for Low price class, 29 for two door sport hardtop, C for 225 Slant Six with one barrel, aka "Leaning Tower of Power", 2 for 1972 model year, B for Hamtramck, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence.
The Hamtramck, MI plant operated from 1911 to 1980 and today's GM Hamtramck, MI assembly plant is partially on the old Chrysler site. It was a city within a city and was also called "Factory Zero" or "Dodge Main".
I had a real 72 340 Duster and it was a excellent running vehicle.
That would have been a keeper.
Really love that deep green paint job. I bet that's pushing 350 horses if not more. Very nice resto. Wish we could have heard it run for a good bit.
Yes, that shade kicks bootay. Would love to know what brand/formula.
I have f8 green. Last call special ordered challenger .who knows I've had people ask me wtf I was thinking. I was thinking rare car.
the mid 60's..til the oil embargo had some of the most iconic heavy metal cars..still beloved and sought after..and prices are showing an upward trend..thx Steve..
71 Demon 340's had the twin scoop hood as a option. The snorkel scoop was available in 72. I owned a new 71 and my buddy had a 72. I currently still own a 71 Demon 340 4speed with 14 300 original miles. I've had 2 Demon 340's and 1 Duster 340, 1971. Always had a 340 Mopar car since 1971.
We love you Steve and we are praying 🙏 for you and your family. Thank you for everything that I've learned from you Steve.
Just heard that yr not doing too well Steve. Get well soon brother, from West Australia.
i had a citron yella 71 demon but with a 225 slant 6 ,2bbl .. automatic .i put bucket seats in the front it came with low profile michelin tires. an old man tuned it up for me.. i got it to 95 mph .. sooo many old cars i wish i had now... thank you
While in Vietnam I special ordered a 72 Dodge Demon 340. It was gold leaf metallic with black buckets and the fresh air hood like the one in this video. I had mine with automatic and 3:55 posi and was able to turn 14.4 @ 100 mph at the track bone stock. I could eat GTO's and Chevelles all day long! I wish I still had it.
Beautiful green... WOW!🤪
I bought a '71 Demon 340/4 speed/3.55 Sure Grip in 1982. It was black with the same white side stripe and a black bucket seat interior. It ran really well. It was all original, but of course it was only 11 years old at the time. There was zero rust on it and for a Missouri car that was rare even way back then. How much did they cost back then? $400. My dad got mad at me and sold it in 1985. I hope it still survives but chances are it was used up and recycled.
Older guy down the street back in the 70's had a 72 Mr. Norms Demon with a paxton supercharger. Everyone assumed it was fast but, he never raced it or ever seen him get on it.
Mr Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge, world's largest Dodge and MoPar dealership! I was in kindergarten in 1969, oh how I wish we could have made the run down to Chicago from Milwaukee after I got a little older! That place was MoPar HEAVEN! Norm Kraus passed away in 2021, his cars are LEGEND!
To my regret I gave up my 71 340 demon 391 gear and 4 speed buckets butterscotch with black vinyl top 150 speedo loved the car😢
The Duster and the Demon shared the basic body design but where the Duster was more Valiant - like, the Demon was more Dart - like. They didn't share the front end or even the tail lights, a nice touch that made each of them more distinctive.
Had a 71 dodge demon awesome car
Beautiful car.
that color rocks
Gorgeous paint!
My Demon had a little devil beside the tail light.
My Grandfather had a Demon with that decal of the little devil on the rear with a pitchfork Mopar symbol.
@@mikeholmed7029
From the comic book character Hot Stuff.
Those heads look like W5 heads. If so they would flow like crazy. Offset rockers that allow the pushrods to be moved away from intake ports to give more airflow in.
Much better looking than those 68-on Novas
I had a new ‘72 chocolate brown Demon with the devil decal when I was in college. Ran great, easy to service and very reliable and quick. It was super but the body had the worst paint job which faded quickly and rusted like crazy. Trunk leaked and had rot in several years. It served its purpose. Nice design and horrendous body quality.
Since my grandpa was a MOPAR salesman from 1946-1979 I remember a couple of them sitting on his lot unsold as we live in Georgia {in the town where Dukes of Hazzard was filmed} & christian conservatives were all in a PMS rage over the name Demon & unfortunately my grandpa was a member of the biggest southern baptist church & he wouldnt even sell them because the congregation gave him so much sh*t about them & threatened to kick him out of the church! I never knew what actually happened to those cars but I sure would have taken both had I been old enough to drive at that time ✌💖☮
That's another angle. More pressure on Mopar to drop the name because large areas of the U.S. would not buy it or shop at dealers that sell it. I thought Mopar dropped the name due to written complaints.
@@markg7030 mostly because religious groups gave MOPAR so much heat about the Demon name
Then they had a truck called the Warlock. And now Hellcat?
@@mr.gutwrench haha I know, go figure! Just glad I'm not religious as I love all those vehicles & would drive the be-Jesus out of them...pun intended
@@mr.gutwrench hahahaha now that is something I WOULD drive & on Sunday mornings around 10 am near church
I had one I sure miss it
That hood treatment and scoop were both available options for the 1972 Demon 340.
Sending positive healing vibes your way Steve. Speedy Recovery. 💪✌🙏💕👍
get well soon Big SM!!🤘🥸
I had a '72 Demon 340/4-speed in like 2004. Fun car! I traded it and a REAL nice old Winchester shotgun and 1,200 bucks for a 327/4-speed '67 Chevy II 2-door post. It wasn't stock, I don't think the Demon was, either, but both would RUN. Both digested most Mustangs and Camaros without problem, the Demon with the A833, the Nova had a Tremec 5-speed (and 4-wheel discs), I have to say the Dodge shifted better. That 4-speed was tough to beat.
back in the day my friend had a 70 demon it was almost all factory stock with a few exceptions. it was butternut yellow with a black interior . 440 magnum with a hemi box 4 speed and a 538 posi rear. he would put a 100 dollar bill on the dash and nobody could grab it as he rowed the gears. if you could grab that benjamin you could keep it!! he was class champion at EVERY track on the west coast five years in a row. i think it had two 4 barrel carbs ( limited production and very rare) He was related to an executive at Chrysler and had more latitude to check off all of the right boxes. Anyways his father died and when his mother was remarried to a southern Baptist minister he was forced to sell it because of the demon decals on his car. the congregation at the Church held a protest in the parking lot when he attended Sunday service!! he was undefeated in that bad boy!!! he put at least 10 car lengths on a blown 454 vette with a 300 shot of nos. Great memories tho. wish he still had it now so he could show his taillights to the new redeye chargers challengers and mustangs!!!!! not to mention the electric cars.
Thanks Steve
71 Demon 225 ci was first car at 16, second 71 is my current but with a hefty 418, great vid thanks for showing
🏆Steve 🏆 What A difference A🍀Day makes 👀✌️
“Demon Tribute” 👍
Let us know if you're ok Steve, no new videos for weeks is really outta character for you, hopefully your ok
The paint looks great, obviously not original. I would like to see it in the sunlight. I bet it pops!
People do what I am so Steve still has his income while he is recovering, when you go to bed turn your phone on his videos and let it play until you get up, and I turn my tv on his channel and let his videos loop all day until I get home so he still has his income while he is in the hospital, it's the least we can do to help him, hes always there for us and he needs us to be there for him now. Let's keep his income coming in so he doesn't have to worry about that, it's so easy to do to help him, c, mon people
First. Lol , Awesome car. I had a red one in 87 and it was wicked
Good looking devil.😂❤
Love it ❤
Nice colour.
Hey Steve, any idea what that will cut for e.t's. in the 1/4? Did the previous owner elaborate? Just a ballpark? Thanks.
Nice!!!!👍
This is one that I would like to see Dynacorn license. They would struggle to keep it in stock.
Upholstery VERY wrinkled,every thing else VERY NICE ! 😊
Looks like it needs more foam/stuffing
A quarter keg will fit in the spare tire well. Don't ask how I know.
You party animal you
long time fan of yours ,…Steve .
could you share more info , regarding this wheel-tire combo,….
Please ❤
Had a 75 Duster 360 special, loved that car but kids came so it had to go😢
Like the way they painted inside trunk area looks great 👍
What bulkhead fitting did they use to pass through the ac lines? Normally the blower motor would be right there. Looks clean.
I bought my '73 Duster from the original buyer a prototypical tech geek who special ordered it in with the following options : Manual front disc brakes, limited slip differential, fold down rear seat, in Pee Yellow. ( I don't believe that was the original Chrysler name for the color) Otherwise all base, 198 six, three on the tree. He wanted factory air but wouldn't pop for what had to be the nominal cost upgrade to the 225 six, which Chrysler wisely required for that option. So to make a long post longer, he had an aftermarket AC installed. You could go 65mph or you could have AC but not both. Eventually I had to have the radiator recored with the thickest core possible at our cherished hippie radiator shop. He looked at my tanks and judged that what we needed was a 3 row core replacement from a '54 DeSoto. I looked at him with a look that said "And just where in the hell are we gonna' find a replacement core for a '54 DeSoto?!" He disappeared into back of his shop for a few minutes and returned with a dusty old cardboard box with a great big smile on his face. I guess he had been wanting that out of his inventory for quite awhile, and I no longer had to drive the car with the heat on full blast on all Summer long.
Steve 🧲🧭
Must have been sold. I don’t see it listed on their Website.
Can you do one on that Enzo, Steve?
My 340 was a giant killer
Me: Mom I want a Dodge Demon
Mom: We have a Dodge Demon at home
The Dodge Demon at home......
What kinda' compression?
We miss you on your other channel. Is there a timeline for a return? Please update your fans super Shane or Steve personally, please!!!!!
Let us know if you're ok Steve everyone is wondering if you are
It's small and fast for the day
My grandfather bought a brand new not knowing what year is was i was a kid but i know it was a basic car with a slant 6 motor
I use to have a 71 Deon with a 198 Slant six. Yes, not 225! Go figure.
I like it. But I would rather have a stock slant 6 stripper. I don't race, and the bigger engine I have, the heavier my foot gets. This might get me in trouble 😊
Do you mention they stopped the name plate because of the religious group
I did in my comment
Wow! Never heard that before
When is the next video??
I like the Demon front end better than the Duster. That is the same color green we had on our '66 Newport. Really looks good in the sun.
Who’d a thought Dodge would reintroduce the Demon.
Wow 50k thats a lot of money for a 72 Demon 360. I sold my numbers matching 72 Demon 4spd for $3500 in 1999 fun car to drive it would beat 5.0 mustangs it was fast for a 72 340 it would spin the tires thru 2nd gear.
That's how to plumb fuel to a carburetor. No rubber or chrome or hardware store hose clamps.
No rear spoiler. Someone has some taste.
A/C on this engine is a joke. Why is it there?
It's there so old dudes don't sweat a heart attack.
Looks like some one spent a fortune on their mid life crisis and got bored with it once it was built... Should have done it up as a replica tribute for a better return on investment,
he pronounces hes own name the wrong way
360 baot anchor in an very ugly car.
Couldn't you get a 440 in a Demon or Duster and of course the Dart Swinger by going through Mr. Norm's Grand Spalding Dodge in Chicago Illinois ?
A really nice Bad Azzz mopar 👍🏼 , manual transmision AND buckets🎉. Here the only con Is the color , mopar have gorgeous colors ,why dont use one 🙄. This Car in plum crazy , sassy grass Green o the classic vitamin C orange o hemi orange 🍻
SIXTY G AND THE 340 IS GONE?!
