- The budget performance car
Several years ago, a car collector extraordinaire received a phone call about a ’71 Dodge Demon 340. He was always interested in the purchase of high-performance Mopars, but only if they are unique. The Demon was said to be a super-low mileage car, and it had been parked for most of its life—up on blocks—and still in “new” condition.
The budget performance car was popular with street warriors and serious drag racers, and all these years later, most were pretty used up.
The original owner purchased this A-Body off the showroom floor, because his Hemi Road Runner had been stolen. He had to order a replacement car and needed something to drive until it arrived. And apparently, when his new vehicle did arrive, this 340-cid A-Body went into storage.
Demons are cool, however, there are a lot of other noteworthy cars out there, so each vehicle this guy adds to the collection must have something special about it.
