dodge demon grills what's the diff?

71 has the split grill, the Demon fender emblems were all stickers and they had a rally dash like the 70 Dart Swinger.

72 has the one piece grill, the Demon fender emblems were chrome with yellow and red paint. The rally gauges were gone leaving a rectangle shaped speedometer surrounded with small gauges for oil, temp etc...

71 has the more desirable horse power and forged crank as well.

The '71 "split" grill is one piece. They only appear different visually, the '71 grill has vertical fins, the '72 grills have horizontal fins.

Also, on the emblems- the '71 stickers include the cartoon devil holding the pitchfork. The '72's got metal emblems, but the cartoon devil was gone and the top of the pitchfork was shortened so it just looks like an "M".

As far as the flat black vs. argent, that was true of the '71 vs. the '70, but it was just the vertical fins that were black. Also, they weren't painted black, the grill is molded in black plastic, and they were just left plain. The argent is painted.

'70
(vertical fins are argent like the surround)


'71
(vertical fins are black, surrounds are argent)


And to really confuse things, the Demon Sizzler package got a color coded grill...
