Demon trivia

NOTES:
There is a rumour that the rear tail panel of the Dodge Demon was actually supposed to be the tail panel of the 1971 Plymouth Duster, but due to timing and manufacturing constraints it never ended up on the Duster and instead was only on the Demon.

Anyone hear this before?

The variation I read was that the Demon tailpanel was designed for the Duster 340 only. The vertical slat design mimicked the sharktooth grill and the car would look different coming and going from the standard Duster. When Dodge decided they wanted a "Duster" of their own they took the tailpanel design for the Demon to make it different from the Duster.
 
Interesting. The sharktooth and Demon tail are certainly two of the nicer A-body designs.
