still has the original 318/at, would it have come with the 7.25 rear end and the 904 or the 8.75 and 727

Too bad it's not original FC7. Real FC7 '71 Demons are rare. I have on in my driveway.
 

Winchester gray is my fav, but Im OK w/Purple. It too bad the collectors/investors have driven the prices up so much on the Demons. The Dusters may be a little less, but they are not cheap either!

It's a nice car. The rear tires probably rub when cornering though.

There is a big guy in the back seat, plus the passenger, so that may make it look a little low. Me, well Im NOT the guy who tries every way in the world to fit the BIGGEST tire they can on a car...makes no sense for a street car!
 
904 but depending how it was ordered it could have a 8 3/4, front disc brakes a sway bar.. i pulled a dart out of ny equipped like that. have seen slant six 4 door darts equipped like that too..
 
There are at least 5 running around here in North east Pa. where you bought the rust bucket you have. Find me a panther pink Demon.
99.9% of the FC7 Demons anyone sees are not only NOT real FC7 cars, but 99.9854% of them are not original or correct. I'll give anyone a zillion dollars for a current photo of a correct and original FC7 Demon (engine, trans, interior, wheels, tires, radio, seats, etc.). There were about 6,000 something made and they were plentiful back in the '70's/early '80's, but not anymore. I've been looking on the internet for six months for reference for my car, and one does not exist. The only correct and original ones to look at for reference are in old Dodge photo ads, but they're not FC7. Then one day someone started selling those double hood scoops for real cheap somewhere, so now everyone and their grandmother has them on their "original" Demon. In addition, if more than one person claims to have an original and correct FC7, lets look at then side by side and I'll bet the colors are not even the same. Just do a google search for "real" FC7 Demons, and be amazed that no two are the same color... Just like the 89 shades of British Racing Green, anyone that has a purple painted Dodge thinks they have a real FC7 Plum Crazy car....

Edit: Here is the breakdown of FC7 '71 Demons copy/pasted from another thread: 6282 total FC7 Demons were made in '71 (959 were Demon 340, 5323 were the non-340 Demons), then fast forward 53 years after most were junked/crashed/etc., today there are approximately 1800 FC7 '71 Demons left. So driving through a town where there are 5 "original" FC7 Demons just defies all odds of probability..:D

Now that you mention it I have noticed that when you get FC7 paint mixed it sometimes isn't the same... it either has too much silver in it or it doesn't etc.
 
My '71 Dart GT is equipped with a 318, A/C, console shifted A904 and 741 case 3.23:1 sure-grip 8 3/4" rear end. No reason that Demon isn't the same too.
 
Some knuckle head painted blue over the purple, but its a 71 FC7 Demon with original wheels, interior etc.
