    DEMON 340 4SPD RESTORATION

    Here is a good reference for placement of the DEMON 340 decal on the rear tail panel - rear transverse stripes. Moving the DEMON decal to the left - and placing the 340 decal BELOW the DEMON decal is what the factory did in 1971...

    Dart Swinger concept car... new to me

    This concept car was a small blurb in several magazines back in that time frame. I was 17 at the time and had subscriptions to Hot Rod, Car Craft, and Popular Hot Rodding. Keep in mind car manufacturers always released concept cars back in that time frame to gauge public reaction. There...

    4 door mopar cars

    That one has a 1964 front grill installed so it might be a 1964 instead of a 1965. Either way, these are not Malibus; they are a two year run of what was known as the Chevelle 300. A neighbor of mine from back in the day had a 1965 2 door wagon with the Chevelle 300 insignias still...

    Not Mine- 1967 426 Hemi Barracuda S Code -Orlando FLA

    Buyer beware --- another example to always do a pre purchase inspection with potentially consultation before buying with a Mopar knowledgeable person. This car is a basic 1967 Plymouth Barracuda born with a base 273 2 barrel and noting more - NOT a Formula S --- just some elephant eared -...

    I wish it was closer craigslist finds

    The VIN plate on the cowl, the partial VIN stamping on the radiator support and the rear package tray / trunk lip gutter would confirm the H Code info. Overall I have seen much worse for much more money - and $4,000 for a 1971 Demon H code project is not out of line.

    Hot New Electric Vette

    If you could order any A-Body new? What if question.

    All the tacked on adornments like fake dual hood scoops on the Twister or spoilers on the trunk really do nothing for me but that's me. Stripe packages are OK but they don't enhance performance. That's why I liked the 1970 Plymouth (Valiant) Duster 340 - a no nonsense, understated bare...

    NOT MINE - '72 Petty Blue 340 Demon

    It's all there but how long has it been in that spot since it has now sunk into the ground. The floors, and in fact the entire underside of the car, could be rotted. Someone with skills, time and money may be willing to take it on ---- potentially a massive effort depending on the rot.

    First --- sorry to hear you have MS --- follow doctors orders - my sister had MS and lived a long productive life. Looking at the fender tag - car does look like a low option car - and a little more rare in 318 / 4 speed form. I had a 1969 R4 Dart Swinger 340 --- it is a great color and will...
