[Dartswinger70]

Nice score really...

 

[fishmens67]

Proof their still out there, nice.

 

[mbaird]

WOW !
What’s the story behind it ?

 

[Dartswinger70]

Interesting where the ignition module is mounted I'd bet that's factory...

 

[Dartnut]

That was a really good deal.
I've never seen a car before that the air cleaner was rusted out...

 

[Lift&Move]

Nice Find!
I wouldn't have been able to pass it up either!

Note the stripe location and the cap is painted no decal.

Thanks you. It seems the majority center the gap on the body line which makes the lower stripe cover the rear wheel lip. I believed that the top of the lower stripe should follow the body line, only to be told I'm wrong. Now I know for sure when striping mine.

1972 Demon 340 FE5 with white interior and white stripes. The car has 50k on it but sat outside for 35 years. i could not pass it up. The car was a house for snakes. So no mice. After purchasing it with only pictures that were listed . We came home and emptied the car. All the parts that were removed were in the car . Everything is nice Grill , mirrors , emblems , beauty valance, Wheels,

It was sitting with the scoop off but it came with the car. Water did a number to the valve covers. and breather. but everything has been untouched except for the alternator and top hose, Here are pictures from ythe listing and I'll add some pics of the car when we arrived home. I'll get it on the lift after the cats get it cleaned out of the varmints. Unitized front is nice but the torsion cross is rotted. Even the clutch fan ,shroud and the radiator is nice

or the valve cover with a rust hole.... lots of good stuff there, what a deal!

@davescuda got all the NOS pieces recently posted to bring this back to its former glory. Run!! Or @tom999w might snatch it all up to rebuild his diamond in the ruff

 

[Big.J.007]

Great news indeed!

Due to the color combo and being a 340 car and all numbers matching it will be restored . It will not be stripped. I know where there is another 72 318 Demon sitting inside we will now go buy for all the sheet metal it needs. Both shops and the machine shop are now up and running. I am getting a little old but between friends and employees and my son. it will get done. Steve gave strict orders . I better not sell a dam thing its getting restored.

These blueprints should made into a sticky.
Thanks for posting them!

 

[mopar head]

Can the engine turn?

 

[Mtrhead]

Unbelievably smoking hot deal Steve.. I bought a running one in 1990 for $800 Hemi Orange and that car was my favorite I think you got a wonderful color package and something that you could make some jack with if you restored it...unreal the condition of seats and dash......hope the rails are solid....engine is full of H20

 

[FISHYPETE]

That air cleaner is perfect garage wall art!

 

[CFD244]

Atta' boy Steve. Keep the eyes peeled

 

[j_anderson]

Interesting where the ignition module is mounted I'd bet that's factory...

That's exactly where mine was mounted on my Dart

 

[R72Demon]

That's exactly where mine was mounted on my Dart

That's the factory location for '72. My '72 Demon was a slant 6 car, so it came factory with points. The dimples were on the inner fender for the electronic ignition box.

 

[tom999w]

It doesn't look like it needs much to be restored; just a thorough going-over. I'm pretty sure it's a Sizzler.
