Dodge Demon 360 V8 Automatic Citron Yella Exterior Restored

Beautifully restored 1971 Dodge Demon 340 tribute, Powered by a 360 and finished in Citron Yella. Originally started out life as a 6 cylinder dart but received a full restoration to tribute a 340 Demon.
Dodge was still dominating the muscle car game in 1972. Just as everyone else was winding down, they were building cars like this 1971 Dodge Demon 340, which didn't rely on Hemi power, but rather the great power-to-weight ratio of a V8-powered Dart.

In typical Mopar fashion, this Demon is an extrovert. Citron Yella Yellow paint means that this muscular car is impossible to ignore and looks fast just sitting still. limited production and and market value makes this a rather collectable piece of Mopar history, and finding one this well restored is none too easy. For an affordable car, the body was treated to an expensive repaint that shines up beautifully and makes it look great from any angle. Add in the optional hood scoops and Sizzler stripes along the flanks, and it has a traditional Chrysler muscle car look that wasn't just for show, even in 1971. Excellent gaps throughout suggest that this car is not only well-restored, but that it led a rather easy life before it was resuscitated and given a new lease on life. Demon badges were controversial back in the day, but it's nice to see them in place on this car, which gives it a playful personality to go with its bright paint job. Other details like the chrome bumpers and unique slotted taillights help make it stand out among its more famous siblings.

Although the Dart was Dodge's economy car, the interior doesn't look low rent in any way, shape, or form. High-back bucket seats wear fresh upholstery that accurately replicates the original stuff and adds to the sporty personality. There aren't a lot of frills, because even back then it was designed to be affordable, but with a woodgrained dash it has a warm, inviting look. The factory instruments are clustered around a rectangular center speedometer. The compact Demon is surprisingly practical, too, with a spacious trunk that's nicely finished and includes what might be its original trunk mat.

The heart of the Demon tribute is a 360 cubic inch V8, which in the relatively lightweight body made for some impressive performance. It's a certainty that this car will run better than the high-14s and is a blast to drive. Bright Hemi Orange paint contrasts brashly with the yellow inner fenders and firewall. The floors and undercarriage look great ( See Photos ). Rallye wheels were standard equipment on the Demon 340, which look great on this car.

A neat little car that has earned its share of respect from both Mopar and non-Mopar fans alike. Then as today, it represents a lot of fun in an affordable, sensible package.
