Awesome…… but I’d have left the hell cat decals off

[@t.l.robinson2162]

That would make it a true sleeper

[@Kevin-MM69ex]

Same here, I agree. I bet that Bad Boy moves too!!!

[@moparmusts]

The CAT gives it away but then I would like to see it move off the line first before I make my decision to paint that on. It might just sit there and spin and you end up in someones rear view mirror!

[@redlight3932]

@@Kevin-MM69ex you ain't gotta bet it's the plain truth

[@jesseraina1614]

Why? Its a show car. Having the emblem there is like driving with the hood open which every mopar guy does at a car show. Lol. But really a 72 dodge demon with a demon engine and engine parts with demon badges would be great.

[@peterjauch3839]

Absolutely love resto mods!!!! Great way to keep these classics alive.

[@ericbarrett1201]

Who ever built this 72 Demon understood the Assignment and gave the world something beautiful and fast as fuck

[@tims72demon]

I still have my 72 Demon. Looks almost like this. Hemi-Orange. Had those Cragers on it. Because those were the only mags you could get in a 4” bolt pattern. The past 2 years I have refreshed it with a nice 360, 833 tranny, and an 8 3/4 3.55 rearend. Same black decals. And I even have that same spare tire. Of course it won’t fit now. I put bigger bolt pattern wheels on it. But I got the same Crager SS mags. Good looking car. 👍

[@garycordle5295]

I miss my 71 demon it was canary yellow with black racing stripes I called it the big block killer 💯 Mopars 🔥 sweet ride 👍

[@johnr.4853]

I miss my Dusters, I had two a 1971 and a 1972.

[@patp2462]

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

Oh my, I’m in love! What a blend of yesteryears glory days and today’s engine technology! Not to mention insane power! Original paint? Wow wow wee wow! So beautiful!

[@GMCTIM]

When I met my now wife, her brother had this exact demon ! Red, 340, 4 speed, 513 rear end ! Dam that thing was fun ! Days gone by ! 😔

[@thephantomzoneboxing]

what happened to it?

[@markbattista6857]

What a cool dealership High end classics is from what I'm seeing one of the best even down to the shops well maintained state and for the featured Demon it truly is special. I am very impressed with this build and it's overall look , great choice of wheels also . I can't imagine what it must feel like remembering back to my 1970 , 340 Swinger , wow twice the power of the 340 and that got me into the mid 14 s , if it had a standard trany with the mentioned Dana . Thanks Steve

[@zxtenn]

MORE than twice the power, stock 70 340 only 275 but regardless its a beautiful build but straight line throttle only. I remember the Swinger, in reality most of those old cars were high 14 and 15 flat cars but with that suspension they felt fast and for the day were. A new SS Camaro would walk on a 69 396/375 but a 427 Yenko would be neck and neck in the 1/4. I always loved the Demon 340 design

[@frankjohnson6342]

The big heavy Dana was not necessary as the 8 3/4” could take just about as much abuse but without the extra weight. Before NHRA started getting more liberal with the rules the 1968 race Hemi Darts & Barracudas used to run them to save weight over the Dana 60.

[@cl8on74]

The 8.75” differentials allowed for easy gear changes just like the ford 9”

[@pahogberg9347]

My buddy had a -72 Duster while I had my -68 Dart. There is nothing like a classic A-body MoPar. Period.

[@soyounoat]

This is the kind of build I have wanted to see.

[@TorchicNidoran1994]

I've found my dream car, complete with that Hellcat engine. The 72 Demon 340 is very under-rated so it getting a sweet upgrade like this is the perfect way to make it shine!

[@russelltackett4779]

Had a 71 dodge demon had a 340 4speed about all i could handle lime green with black stripes

[@bubbasmithie1970]

Wow amazing craftsmanship, vision, and talent to piece this beautiful ride together.

[@ST_DCT]

I love the cat text, the hellcat logos kinda ruins the 'sleeper' aspect to the build, less is more 😁

[@kevinsimone7975]

The trunk latch shows painted which i believe would not have been by the factory. Nice car btw. Thanks for showing it

[@ricardodelacruz3254]

They really need to make that front fender scoop functional to let the engine breathe better that would be nice .

[@geraldscott4302]

Another beautiful vintage Mopar DESTROYED

[@lonnieosbourne818]

it was a 6cyl..

[@charlesdalton985]

Oh……my……gosh! How can anything that red, still be a sleeper? Well, that 707 HP might have something to do with it! Absolute tribute to the day 2 look from back in the 70s, with modern muscle. Thank you. ~ Chuck

[@bigsparky8888]

I CAN ONLY DREAM OF DRIVING THAT MASTERPIECE...WOW...SUH WEET!!!!

[@donferensic7482]

Too cool man!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dave5176]

This is what Dodge should have done instead of calling a Challenger with a big engine a Demon. I had a new Demon 340 in 1971. It was red with the black stripe like this one. Black interior with a bench seat in the front. Had the 150 MPH speedometer, no tach though. Had no power steering, and the front brakes were drum. No carpet either, just rubber like in a truck. It was a blast to drive, wish I had never sold it. Didn't really know what I had. The engine was balanced and blueprinted from the factory.

[@JimBuffalo]

Awesome looking dodge demon 😈.

Work of art what a beauty 💪

[@googleusergp]

When we get the tag, we can brag: FE5 for Bright Red exterior paint, U for USA spec vehicle, R11 for AM Music Master radio, E24 for 225 Slant Six with one barrel, aka "Leaning Tower of Power", 826 for 8/26/71 production which was a Wednesday, D34 for Torqueflite automatic transmission, G15 for tinted windshield only, TX9 for upper door panel color of black, B1X9 should be black interior trim. With the VIN we win: L for Dodge Dart/Demon series, L for low price class, 29 for two door sports hardtop, C for 225 Slant Six with one barrel, aka "LTP", 2 for 1972 model year, B for Hamtramck, MI assembly aka "Factory Zero" or Dodge Main (which opened in 1911 and closed in 1980), and the rest is the production sequence. Loon Motors was located at 117 East 1st Avenue in Mitchell, SD.

[@Kyweh-zz6ld]

Right! I wanna swapped a 72 demon with a 170 my dream car

[@davidwoody5228]

707 hp is a lot more than double a 340’s. In 1972, the 340 was rated at 240 horsepower, so it’s right at 3 times.

[@grenzle2428]

So awesome

[@Cheezwizzz]

Omg that sound!!!!!

[@Hugh_Hunt]

A car so cool, they have to put a modern badge on it~!

[@MrSk3406]

Had a AMD tail light panel installed and the car was repainted except for the under side of the deck lid.

[@joelsmith4816]

Lower that bad boy and put some original rallies on it with bands and baby centers. KICKASS!!!!

[@russelltackett4779]

😆

[@torringames]

Awesome I'd have done the hellcat wheel tire set up for handling and put Hellcat fender badges instead of those fake decals

[@scottlyons6977]

Did Demon's back then come with a slant-six?? I thought they were all 340's?

[@grantr5417]

Slant six, 318 and 340 were all available. From base grocery getter to the 340 package. A Sizzler package was all the looks with a 225/6 or 318.

[@JoshuaLancey72]

Amazing!

[@staceywright5744]

This is what the new one should have looked like. The challenger is cool This is a demon.

[@60EFFIE]

Mom’s Gold Duster was cool, it got whacked in a parking lot when I was just a kid.

[@davidwoody5228]

Gorgeous catc

[@erikrhafer6644]

They made demon's with a slant 6 ? I never heard that, I thought they were all 340's ?

[@moparmusts]

Nice car. Seems well sorted out but I'm not sure about the GM tranny. I prefer rowing gears but the GM tranny is a turn off (for a mopar). If you could find one, a Passon A-855 5spd would be my first choice but they are hard to come by these days. Otherwise nicely done.

[@atsidis]

Not sure the a/b body rear end that’s wider that needs to go in so the back of the car will look right...

[@mr84ttop34]

Badass!

[@Astrophysix1]

This feels proper. aside from the hellcat logos. you gotta keep what's old, old.

[@JoeFilardi]

hi great ep every demon should have a 392 hemi or the hellcat engine. weather its a 71 or 72.

[@donkimp8053]

Very nice indeed

[@MBailey1977]

Did u say slant six? Would a real demon come with that?

[@jen.italia]

The REAL Dodge Demon!

[@ShawnathanOakley]

How much HP does it have? I don't think he mentioned it lol.

[@alanbarger8440]

707 hp

[@1friplease]

Awesome car love it would not have the Hellcat sticker on it too LOL I wouldn't want nobody to know but yeah as long as it's not original or 340 or something I wouldn't want to mess with that but this is like a 318 or something I would take it out and put that engine in it because you can just dependably drive it everyday and be badass Street Machine nice

[@frankjohnson6342]

You make fun of the 8 3/4” rear end but it’s so strong that they are coveted by some super comp dragster’s because it’s about as strong as the 9” Ford with less weight, they have a similar construction.

[@johnr.4853]

Yes, but some are stronger than others. The weakest being the 741 case it had a small pinon diameter. Next you had the 742 case it had a bigger diameter then the 741 case, it also was a straight pinon. Next you had the 489 case. This was the biggest pinon they had. It was a tapered pinon.

[@frankjohnson6342]

@@johnr.4853 I had the 489 case with a sure grip with 3:91 gears in a 1970 4 speed Duster that had a nowhere near stock engine for those days and it saw a few thousand power shifts using a short throw V-gate shifter and I never had any problems with that rear end, not even with the spider gears. So if someone wants to put aftermarket axles and a spool in one of them , I don’t think that they could easily break it. Even some of the 68 race Hemi Darts & Barracuda’s switched to them to save weight.

[@johnr.4853]

@@frankjohnson6342 I'm not knocking the 8 3/4 rear at all. I like them myself , I never had any problems even with a 741 case with a suregrip.👍

Can I have that car? Lol jokes aside, I love it.

[@thephantomzoneboxing]

why?

[@TimFromLA]

G.M. parts in a Mopar? I guess the 727 would get shredded from the horsey from the Demon engine.

[@CRUZROYHelicopters]

you still have this car

[@BradThePitts]

2:40 All of those modern electronics to support that modern engine and it still has that dreaded resistor on the firewall? If and when the trunk gasket failed, and if water dripped on that thing the car wouldn't start. Ferry famous problem, and what people would do is put rubber washers behind it to offset it from the firewall.
