Looking at a 71' Demon
Well I've been patiently waiting and I think it has paid off, Not only did I find a date correct 340 block that checked out with the machine shop, I've also located another 72' 340 Demon that's not in as bad shape as mine. I will be picking it up on the weekend and posting pictures asap. This one has been stored inside for the past 10 years so thats a good thing. Apparently it needs minimal sheet metal and doesn't have a big hole cut in the roof. He says that the rockers are solid, floor and trunk is solid and the only holes in the body are in one rear fender behind the wheel and someone at one point cut holes into the inner fenders to install a big block into it. Side and rear windows are tinted and stored, Door glass is intact and just front windshield is gone. It has been dissasembled so its a box car but has what I'm missing such as the sport hood with dual scoops and rear bench seat.
I'm picking this one up at a bargain too $1000, so that makes up for what I paid for the first one. What I'm thinking I'm going to do is rebody the first Demon to the second Demon as the second one is missing fender tags and build sheet. Also it was a column shift. Mine also had some good options as well such as console, and front disk brakes.
Will be posting pics of the "new" Demon hopefully on the weekend.
Cheers,
Joe
