1971 Dodge Demon 340 4bbl NEW TOOLING 2 n 1 Stock or Drag 1/25 340 V8 MPC MPC997 997
For 50 years the 1971 Dodge Demon has been lying in wait, and we’re exorcising our right to summon it once again.

It contains incredible features such as a custom Steering Wheel, shifter, bucket seats, rearview mirror, side view mirrors, a roll cage, and 340 CID 4BBL Engine. It also has hood scoops, rear spoiler, drag slicks, and stock tires with plated wheels. The set of expanded water-slide decals includes a giant demon decal and more.
Features
1:25 scale, skill level 2, paint & glue required
91 parts
Molded in white, clear, transparent red, and some chrome-plated parts
Black vinyl tires

Built size: 7.75 inches long
Dodge Dart is a line of automobiles marketed by Dodge from the 1959 to 1976 model years in North America, with production extended to later years in various other markets.
The Dart name originally appeared on a 1956 Chrysler show car featuring a streamlined body designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Ghia that was later modified and renamed the Dart Diablo.[1] The production Dart was introduced as a lower-priced, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car for 1962, and then was a compact from 1963 to 1976.[2][3]
The Dart nameplate was resurrected for a Fiat-derived compact car that was introduced in 2012.
For 1971, Chrysler introduced a 2-door hardtop in the Valiant line called the Scamp. It was the same car as the Swinger with a Valiant front clip. The 1970 Dart's dual tail lamps were given over to the badge-engineered Scamp, while the 1971 Dart received new smaller quad taillamps that would be used through 1973. The custom 2-door hardtop coupe became the Swinger, and the standard Swinger became the Swinger Special. Dodge gained a version of Plymouth's popular Valiant-based fastback Duster which was to be named the Beaver,[31] but when Chrysler's marketing department learned that "beaver" was CB slang for vagina,[5] the vehicle was renamed the "Dart Demon".
As was the case with previous Dodge rebadges of Plymouth Valiants, such as the 1961-1962 Lancer, sales of the Demon lagged behind those of the Duster. With optional hood scoops and blackout hood treatment, the car was advertised as a performance car. The Demon's Dart-type front fender wheel lips and Duster-type rear wheel fender lips reveal the car was essentially a Duster with Dart front sheet metal and other minor styling changes. A new audio option became available for 1971: Chrysler's cassette-recorder. Unlike the 8-track tapes, the cassette player was relatively compact, and it was mounted on the console or on its own floor-mount casing. This unit offered an available microphone in which one could record their own dictation.
The Swinger 340, Dart's performance model, was replaced by the Demon 340, 275 HP engine with an optional 4-speed manual transmission, optional hood scoops, and blackout hood treatment. In 1971, Chrysler ended their longstanding corporate practice of installing left-hand-threaded wheel studs on the left side of the vehicle; all-wheel studs on the Dart thenceforth used conventional right-hand threads
i have to smile: The AMT Duster had optional parts to create a 340 six pack engine. Only the '70 AAR Barracuda and Challenger T/A's offered the Mopar factory 340 6-pack engine, but Mr. Norm's Dodge out of Chicago offered a 340 6-Pack in the A-Body Demon. No Plymouth Dealer that I know of offered a 340 6-Pack in a Duster, so I'll get the 6-Pack from one of my AMT Duster kits and install it on my model Demon. I can't wait for mine to be delivered. The Demon 340 6-Pack could also have optional functional hood ram-air from Mr. Norm. Love those Mopar small blocks !
The GSS,Grand Spalding Special had the 6 pack
U as well as other builders on UA-cam have convinced me 100% I will never ever ever use bare metal foil again. That window trim looks amazing.
Music during the build session is perfect for a '71. Sounds like a theme song to a 70's cop show or movie. Great build Chris!
Back in the early 70's, my high school buddy bought a brand-new Dodge Dart Swinger with the 340 and four-speed with overdrive option. The Demon retains most of the same body style, and exact same hood scoops as my pal's old car. That car was very fun to drive, fast as heck, too.
You did a great job on the model, Chris!
Plastic pins for the front wheels was a horrible idea. Broke both of mone off on the 68 Coronet R/T convertible kit trying to get the wheels on. And the metal axle for the rear was too short. Update, I found a metal axle that will work on the Coronet, fixed the front axle pins by drilling through the engine block and using a metal axle so it has that promo look. Right now, the Demon kits are hard to find but I snagged 5 of them at retail price from a local hobby shop.that got them for me. Even with the glossy stripes your kit build looks really nice.
This one really stands out, those wheels look incredible!
Chuck Norris approves this channel and the content creator.
I know it may not be "correct" but I prefer the gloss stripes. Been waiting for this build...very nice Chris! Get well soon.
I like he suggested different ways to fix that. Ive also heard you can use a flat acrylic like what you would use to make your own decals.
Great looking " screamin' Demon! ( That's what I used to call mine when I had it!) Delivered many Domino's pizzas in it! ( It had a good slant 6 in it that screamed!)
Great job Chris get well soon
Love the Mopar kits and great work. Keep it up and get well soon. Great video.
That grill makes it look real
Another fun Saturday build. Thanks Chris. Hope you get over your cold soon. Will see you on the Wednesday episode.
That grille turned out great! I might paint my hood scoops semi-gloss black to better match the decals... I spray Tamiya semi-gloss clear over Chrysler rallye wheels, black-wash as needed then use a small cotton swab dipped in lacquer thinner to remove the semi-gloss clear from the trim rings.
My first car was a '71 Dodge Demon! No hood scoops, racing stripes, spoiler or 340 engine! Mine was a boring 225 6, but I can't wait to build the car I should have had! Glad I didn't cave in and spend a fortune on the old tooling. Very nice build, and you've given me some great ideas on how to do things. Thank you!
It's a GREAT kit, I've got 3 on order!!!!!! 👍👍
Get Well Soon.
Very nicely done. I have two coming I can't wait. I hope that I can do as you. Darn you did one heck of a good job.
Tempted to use this new body with the older but more detailed Duster kit with a more detailed chassis n 340 Six Pak engine
Getting atleast 3 of those! Awesome build!
GREAT looking build! HATE the suspension but I’d suppose another kits chassis could be used in place of the silliness MPC chose to do . LOVE the body, hood and those taillights are so cool looking. I absolutely must build this! Nice job putting the video together as usual Chris.
How about building a 1970 Dart Swinger, in primer grey, and torsion bars cranked down with a nice rake slammed down on fat Mopar rally wheels stuffed up under it. Just like you would see back in the mid-late ‘80s ❤
….and RATT cranking out of the cassette deck.
Excellence build and presentation Chris! Perfect color choices and decals, very well done!!
Super Craftsmanship and fantastic starting `24 with a muscle car!!!!
The decals will go into the spares box as I plan on building a Pro Stock Drag Car out of it. Great build as usual!
Having an original kit, I’m glad to see the improvements to the body, front fenders are corrected, including shape and fender gaps to the rockers and cowl area. I wish I had a set of the improved tail lights, much improved, I will bus a couple for sure! Thanks for the build up!
This has been a long time coming!
I bought the 340 Demon in 1971 while in the Army. When I happened to see this kit in Walmart last week I picked it up. Luckily I have some old Polaroid photos of my old car so I'm going to try and match it. No experience with models since my youth so it will be fun, I hope!
Lol...love how U "Poke" the bears 😆
Another GR8 vid. 👍👍
Getting a bunch of these, many thanx.
Great build Chris, now I love the look with the glossy decals with the matt scoops very cool.
Maybe I will build mine with white side stripes and hood, so the shiny vs flat black issue is not so apparent.
I've had this kit on order through my hobby shop for quite some time. It really isn't expected in shops until February. Round2 was at the model show in Detroit last month, and their rep said they didn't think the boat carrying the new kit supply would arrive until January.
Some pre-production kits are on shore now for reviewers, but that's all.
Nice looking build. The kit appears to be nicely engineered. You did a nice job. Get well soon. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see the Drag parts are appropriate to the era of the car
Those traction bars used to come in alot of colors too
Hopefully Round 2 uses this kit to remake some vintage Pro Stockers
Well done on the Demon Chris! I use that Krylon Red Pepper quite a bit on my car builds!
Great detail and overall build !
Another great 👍 build and kit . I build this car back in the day when it came out. Keep up the great work 👍 👏. 😎🍻☮️💚🍔🏖
Great build Chris. You do Mopar proud. Get well soon.
Been excited to get this kit, finally got my hands on it yesterday only to find that 2 parts trees were not complete, so now I am missing parts.
I used to work at a Chrysler plant in Australia, until it was sold to another company. We had the valiant/dart equivalent here, what I find interesting is apart from LHD to RHD, was the subtle differences between them. From here it seems wood treatment was common on instrument panels and centre consoles of sports/muscle models, here we had pretty much 3 trim levels back in the day. They were standard, premium and sports, so woodgrain treatments were the preserve of the premium range. We didn't have a muscle class everything was sports, so on sports the instrument panel and centre consoles we're generally black.
Enjoyed this very much. I think for keeping the younger people involved , videos like this are needed. Nice to see a deep build and paint by you. Great job!
That was cool! I learned a lot that will help me with my next build. I'm just getting back into car models after 50 years so a lot has changed!
I'm looking forward for mine to appear on my door step I've been waiting for it
Nice looking build!
Looks awesome, Chris. That hood looks great with the flat black over the glossblack.
Looks very nice - thanks for the build.
Another awesome build Cris an a great color an as always thanks for the time you invest for us thanks
Very Sharp!
Get Well Soon, Chris!
Awesome build mate!, nice husky tones the Wisconsin Barry White 😂
Nice job my friend! The Demon looks awesome!
I’ve been waiting on this kit. Love it! I’m buying 5 of them
cool video. most of the manufacturers in the 70s used Krylon dull aluminum paint on the grilles.
Very cool kit
Fantastic build!! Have a friend that got a 4 speed Demon new. Copper with the black stripes. Can't wait to build it.
Great box art
Very nice work
Back when I was a single guy in Norman, Oklahoma in the late ‘70s one of my best friends had a ‘73 that I occasionally got to work on. Our shenanigans in that car got the attention of the police one evening (we drifted through a left-hand turn at an intersection), but somehow he didn’t get a ticket. 😁
Good build,love it!!
I like the song you put at minute 31,salsa from Puerto Rico,I’m puertorican,thanks for that.
Really cool kit. Still wonder why they didn't use their '71 Duster as a base. Anyway. It's beautiful, but I've been wondering, IF Revell was to get out a '71 Demon with the same quality and details as their '71 Mustang, would it sell more than MPC's? I know we will never know, but I'm not really sold on the "retro build" look/way that Round2 do with some of their new toolings.
Because then they couldn't say "all new tooling" and people would assume it was just another reboxing with new decals.
@@GordoGrande69 Well, that goes with their "nostalgia sell" idea, however, nostalgia won't sell forever. I think they still think that many of their old, used toolings sell 'cuz of nostalgia and not because they're the only ones producing them. Now, I'm not saying this is a bad kit. Seems pretty good. But the "let's make a new kit that look like it was made in the '70s" concept don't have much appeal to me. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one thinking like this. I'm still gonna buy it 'cuz... Well, no one else have made it. But let say Revell had released one at the same time and it was on par with their new '71 Mustang, I would've go with Revell's and not theirs.
AMT had such a head start on building a much better engineered kit with their '71 Duster. So much shared mechanicals between those two cars on the same platform. When I heard about this kit, I assumed that is what Round 2 was going to do.
I think I need another Mopar in my collection - I'm down to only one now, but these new Round 2 releases are looking so good! This particular color really suits this car.
Waiting for the 2 I ordered.
Yours looks fantastic
Yes you need to spray dull coat clear over the decals that will give you the proper sheen. That's how I did the 340 decal on the hoid of my Duster.
Really nice. Almost FE5 Red. Again you are killing the Rallye wheels as Round 2 ain't doing you any favors making them all chrome but you are nailing them. The actual trim rings were polished only on some years, most are "brushed" aluminum - center caps dark grey and wheel flat silver metallic. Nice. Now where is the 340 Duster??? 👀
Haven’t watched video yet but this looks amazing!!!!🎅🏻🌲
The red "Demon" - nice.
BTW - I'm down myself with a very bad cold. Hang in there and get better soon.
Excellent work! I love that showroom shine!
Super cool!
Really nice build with an excellent result. Love that tip with the black wash on the wheels. Thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺
Nice kit
Turned out awesome. I love the color
My brother's best friend had a Demon back in the 80's. Only 300 were made in 71'.
Very nice looking job on this model! Thanks for the tips on finishing out the wheels. That's a great look.
Love your paint music😂
Nicely built looks amazing
Thank you for the review. Excellent as usual. I hope you get to feeling better soon 👍
Whatttt! No testors silver for transmission ! What has become of this world ( lol ) Great video Chris, keep em coming, I"ll keep watching.
I can't wait to get mine. We were supposed to get them last month but nobody really knows what's going on or when they'll be in
Just spray the decals with an acrylic flat or semi, cut them close and apply them after your clear coat.
I don't understand why they have a drag version, but no headers?? But you made it look great Chris! And that beautiful thumbnail. I didn't want one till i seen that. I said "Oooo, I'm gonna do one just like that!" Lol
Great looking build! I'm surprised with the hood scoop decals which I would find annoying, that clear carrier...you could trim them up I guess and apply them separately...🤔
Great job . Looks awesome
Badass!!!
Hello there.
Just watched you building the '71' Demon.
Great work!
But one thing!
You didn't gloss coat the drivers inside panel..or did you?
I'm picking this one up.
Born in '71' way out in Sacramento.
Excelsior Speedway!
Mather Field jets flying over my house!
And a 62 Chevy Impala my grandma has.
Gold slightly sparkly paint said to have real Gold in the paint.
Good Times!
Try using dull coat on the decals before wetting them
grind that driveshaft out and smooth it -make the chassis better
Very cool 🙂
May I ask when you will do a build of the Revell 1968 Dodge Dart lit?
Been watching for a few years and wondered where to get Krylon short cots paint.
Nice build Chris,get better
Looks like a nice kitt too at least no two peice chassis like the roadrunners i wonder if u can use this chassis for the roadrunner looks like the same chassis anyways lol....
Does anyone make a bench seat for this. My friend's car had one.
Hi could you tell me what your spray on all the parts first cause this is my first time building a model car and want to know for best results thank you
The only beef is that there's a lack of drag parts for the engine 😢Mpc was famous for an excessive amount of engine option parts
Try green tea and honey. Also a spoonful of honey will soothe the throat for a bit.
Do you ever use plug wire kits? Does Round 2 offer a Scooby and Fred's Mystery Machine?
Curious as to why the front bumper/grille wasn't on the chrome tree. 🤔
The bumper is on the chrome tree. Shown in the parts review.
The grill isn't chrome on the real car so it shouldn't be chromed.
I talked about that in this video during the unboxing and the first unboxing as well. Thanks.
Hello Chris, why do you use Black primer under so many of your paint colors?
what do you do with all the cars you have built?
Have you tried Home Depot's Behr spray cans?
what are the decals, bottom right. I've got a magnifier, and still couldn't read those next to the mopar oil filter decal
I have a few Questions about your Demon when you painted the body how long between coats did you wait before painting. Your Demon came out Soo good I hope I can do have as good as you.thank you
I wait about 15 minutes or so between paint coats on these. Apply LIGHT coats. They may look heavy on camera but they are not.
@@hpiguy thank you for the info.
Now where is the 72 version, different grill and side marker lights.😊
