1971 Dodge Demon EV2 340 auto for sale

Per the tag that car has a SPD of Oct. 27 1970 so it isn't the earliest but it IS an early build car.
That hood paint matches because it looks like the engine compartment was painted.
The hood is NOT correct for that SPD on a 340 Demon.
Rear bumper is a 73 also. like you said it's 40+ years later.
Just an FYI

I goofed up and meant that it was an early build car, not a late build car.
As for the originality of it, i wasn't there when the car was built, so i don't know.
Chrysler might have been playing around with the idea of the snorkle scoop for the '72 model year at the time this car was built and it might have slipped through the cracks.
Never say never.
Again, it's a good restorable car regardless.
