1971 GY3 Dodge Demon H code 340 - 4 speed
Spoke with admin @Joeychgo prior to posting: Sharing the link to the auction for my 1971 GY3 H code 340 - 4speed car that is now LIVE on Bring a Trailer (BaT)
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-dodge-dart-demon-6/
This car underwent an extensive mechanical restoration from 2022-2024.
The car was painted under previous ownership in 2015 in the original GY3 color. This was an original bench seat car, and the bench was replaced with factory buckets at some point in its life
There is no broadcast sheet for this vehicle, but I have a binder with information on previous owners going back to 2000
The engine and transmission are NON numbers matching. The engine block is a 1969 340 block dressed to look like a 1971 340 engine with the correct ’71 only intake/carb etc. As it was an early (October ’70) build it has 1970 exhaust manifolds. The trans is a 1969 with the correct A body shifter rods/linkage/mechanism all from Brewers.
Work performed included:
The mechanical restoration included:
Really nice driver that was shown at MCACN this past November. Drive it anywhere!
Located in NW/Indiana and is certainly available for inspection by you or a third party.
PM if you have any questions? or stop by the auction as well. Thanks for looking!
