1971 Dodge Demon

[74Dusted]

If its a Demon why does the rear look like a duster? Those are duster taillights on that rear panel... And yes I know they were the same body with different grille and taillights.

Cause pieces of the car came from different cars. It's a 70/71 Duster Tail Panel (I have the 71/72 Demon Tail for the car, it will replace the Duster tail i removed). The Hood is from a '72 Demon (71 & 72 were the same though), the Fenders are modified '72 Demon Fenders (with '71 Marker Light sections grafted in to make them '71 fenders), The Valance is from a '71 Demon. The Front Bucket Seats are from a 1975 Volvo (Power/Heated Buckets, the only reason they're not mopar parts), the AC/Heaterbox is from a '69 Valiant.

The Driver's Side door took a hard hit, so did the rocker panel. The damage should be visible in the last picture (i'm guessing someone slid the car sideways into a sign or pole). So that door has since been replaced with one from a Hemi Orange '71 Demon. That car is long gone, so is it's brother (a 2-Tone Blue 340/4-Speed '71 Demon... some of the parts from that car are going on this car).

Demon parts (actually any A-Body parts) are hard to find here in PA in a decent/restoreable condition. So i work with what i have, and what i can't find, i make.

To be honest, i've stockpiled most of the A-Body parts within a 50 mile radius. I've got fenders, doors, hoods, trunk lids, tail panels, bumpers, interior, ect buried in several garages. Slowly gathering them up over the last 10 years for my project cars (and future project cars). Some of the stuff is still eluding me though.

I never junk the parts i remove though, they're always kept for spares. Like the Driver's Side door i removed, someday i may need it for one of my cars (like the '71 Demon, or my '71 Duster project)

Here's what i mean, some of the assorted parts, dug out of storage (late spring/early summer.. old pictures. My '74 Duster/daily driver is visible too)





and for good measure, my '71 Duster. Gave this car to my dad, since he wanted to build a 5.7L Hemi Car with a Overdrive Automatic and all the creature comforts of a new car.
