Did any 72 demons come equiped w hood mounted tach??

[swinger340]

Local car dealer has a 72 yellow Demon. It is a 318 4 speed car and has a tach mounted to the hood. Looks like a firebird deal to me but he claims his brother bought the car when it was only 2 years old and it was an option. No fender tag or build sheet so is this possible or is he a story teller like most of the other car dealers?

Hi. I don't think it was an option. They were available through the Direct Connection catalogue and were often installed by the dealer after the car was purchased. Bobby

That looks to be fhe one. Just looked out of place to me. Have NEVER seen one on a Mopar. Have seen firebirds w/ hood mounted tachs.

I remember seeing some that folks added and remember one guy took one from a 70 GTO and put on a Aspen R/T

Here is another link to one I sold a while back, you can see the Dixco and Chrysler emblem on it. I believe these only came on B bodies

Yeah, they looked like Pontac, but Chrysler offered them trough parts dept. and dealer
could install them, they were made by Dixco.

I put this one on my car. It was an option in 73 but was almost always put on at the dealership. I have an old brochure that lists it as adding that sports car flair...LOL

the originals i have seen have a penestar below the pointer. they were a dealer option in 1970 but i dont know how long they were offered.

Google-search "1974 Valiant Super Bee" and you'll be rewarded with photos of a beautifully-restored example , complete with the hood-mounted tach :happy1:
