Looks like you got a very cool ride, to include manual console setup.
Yes what you were told sounds legitimate.
Both Duster and Demon equivalent depending on year, we’re sold under the same Dodge Valient Super Bee name. I have seen 2 Duster equivalents in person, but only have seen the Demon equivalent in pics.
Yours has dual scoops and hood mounted Dixco tach, which I interested was factory option.
1970s Mexican Valiant Super Bee
In 1970, Chrysler of México introduced the sport model Valiant Super Bee. Unlike the American Dodge Super Bee, the mexican version was based on the Chrysler A-Body platform. The Valiant Super Bee was mate of the Valiant Duster and the Dodge Dart. In Mexico officially never existed the Plymouth brand and Plymouth models were sold under the Dodge brand. The Valiant Super Bee was equipped with the 318 V8 engine with 270 horse power from 1970 to 1974 and 1975 to 1976 with the 360 V8 engine with 300 horse power.This engines have more power in Mexico than in U.S.A. because mexican anti-pollution Laws were not as strict as in the US. As well as its cousins the Dodge Dart and Valiant Duster. With the years they only received minor changes as new grilles and rear panels and tail lights. This first generation was produced from 1970 to 1976. In 1976, Chrysler introduced the new F-Body cars: Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare, and the Aspen R/T and Volare Road Runner as its Sports versions.
