    I've owned two 71Demon 340's. One in Green Go with a automatic. I ordered it with all the good stuff in May 1971. Scoops, buckets and console and 3.91 gears. Drag raced it Super Stock. Then I bought a 71Duster 340 Super Stock from a friend. It had 740 miles. Same interior as yours and Butterscotch too! I currently own another 71Demon 340 4-speed in Hemi orange V2. Black Bucket seats with 14,400 original miles. It has the scoops and spoiler. My cars were all built at the Hamtramck plant. My brother had a 70 Dart Swinger 340 in B5 blue. I traded my 72 Charger Rally 340 4-speed for his Dart. Guess you could say I've owned and raced a few A-bodies. My Duster was the quickest. 11.20s @ 121mph. It was also the National Record holder back around 1975. Your Demon is very nice. You should take it to a track and see what she'll run. Make another video about it. Have fun and good luck with your Mopar.

    That is another BEAUTY of an A-Body that found it's way into your driveway! Seldom seen these days... And, a by the way: NO 340 Dusters came with hood scoops much less the 340 emblems on them... But it is so common to see the Dusters with the scoops these days, that people assume.

    Demons & Dusters did more for the Mopar reputation on the street than any of the big block cars of its day. These cars were capable of easy 13s in the 1/4 mile with a performance axle and a set of headers. In the 70s & 80s that was fast. Very few cars on the street could top that...

    Guaranteed Fun Ride right there!!!! A keeper for sure! Enjoy it. Last time at Garlits for me was 2020.
    Took the 4:56 gears out of my fish 2 years after resto in 2016 and stuffed 3:55 gears back in, Much better cruiser but the fun factor was reduced.
    Likely should have put the 3:91 gears back in that were taken out back in 85. The 3800 Stall is still in it though!

    My 4-gear '71 was sassy grass. My GF's '71 was top banana. Hers was a Torqueflight. Both 340 cars. Yours has a sanitary engine bag. Please turn the air cleaner lid/pie pan counter clockwise. 340 closest to the firewall, Four Barrel toward the radiator. Should be legible from the front of the car.

    If you want to see a big block owner have a fit just put him on the dragstrip next to a well running 340.
