1972 Demon Street/Strip or Show

I seriously considered buying and had professionally inspected, a 1971 factory 340 Demon, all numbers matching, all restored, this past summer, and the car was listed on this website. The car was nice, only had a very few issues, and had a lot of documentation as far as ownership history. 1971 340 Demons are probably the most desirable with the features offered, including the circular rallye gauge cluster (150 MPH speedo), the 1970/71 Dart grill, and the lower production numbers. I offered $15K but did not get the car, and the car did not sell.

Being this car is a 1972, it's worth probably a little less, but then again, is this a factory LS23H2 340 Demon, or is this a clone? Also, do you have the matching number engine and 4 speed?

If this car was a factory high impact color, with a matching number 340/4 speed, then the car would bring the money you ask.

I have a 1971 Duster 340, numbers matching, same exact color as your Demon, Gold Leaf Metallic, GY8. I have owned the car for almost 8 years and it is a good driver, and I can post pictures later, when I return home from work. I tried to sell my car which is a California car without rust issues, for $13K and no takers! And it's all restored, no issues!

In today's market where you are lucky to find any buyers at all, you may get $10K out of the car, but the best way to find out is to put the car on ebay and see what the bids end up being...

One thing to keep in mind is that the general rule is that the further you deviate from the original car equipment, the less you will harvest in re-sale. This simply means that if you have a rare car like a factory 340 Demon, which was only produced 2 years, and in low production numbers, if you have to sell, your best bet is to put the car back to original factory condition, according to what is documented on the fender tag, and the broadcast sheet. Otherwise, people look at the car as being racy, and not original.

Best of luck with the sale...
