is this a real demon?

I've spent my life in NY, NJ, and PA. I have seen 2 Demons in my life. A friend of mine spent years looking for one and then bought and restored it right before he died (a 71). That was the first one I ever saw. The second one was a few months ago at our town's Halloween parade (green 72 340). I have never seen one out in the wild. A million Dusters, but zero Demons.

Exactly. I'm pretty much always "looking", I have some kind of disfunction when it comes to searching the internet for cars. :D I've seen a few Demon projects here in northern California semi-recently that were $2k or less, but all of them were in pretty rough shape. Which is why I bought a '74 Duster and cloned it over to a '71 Demon. Cheaper and easier, believe it or not, to start with a clean '74 Duster and clone it than it would have been to repair any of the Demon's I've seen in the same price range.
