Looking for my 72 Demon
I will try and post the few garbage pics I have (we forget how lucky we are to have a good camera in our pocket everywhere we go these days).
Those pics aren't garbage at all. Times like these when you realize we never took enough pictures and the very few we have are like gold. I graduated high school in 1986 and went to work at a local Dodge dealer here in CT. I bought the Demon that August. It was in black primer and I found someone to "paint" it for $1,500.00. Well, you get what you pay for and all of the paint blistered after 6 months because he never got rid of the water logged primer. By this time I was on to changing the headers and ended up pulling the engine out in the cul de sac where we lived because our driveway was on a hill. Police Officer made me move the car at 2 AM as the engine hoist was out there too. Ended up rebuilding the engine (still has the original engine and trans) and got everything back in but kind of stalled because of the body and lack of funds for an 18-20 year old. The car sat at my parent's house for a couple of years and I then moved it to my house when I got married. I bought NOS quarterpanels and trunk extensions back in 1989 as I wanted the car to be perfect and didn't realize that someone competent could have fixed the car right. Well the Demon outlasted the marriage and I stripped it in 2001 and brought it to a buddy who was going to do the body work at night. Never tell a body man that you are in no hurry!! The project stalled again until I went and grabbed the car in 2013 and brought it home. That brings us to the present and the Demon is now getting all of the bodywork done by a motivated body man. The cool thing about your interior pick of the Demon back in 1976 is that I bought a pistol grip shifter handle in the late 80's to put in the Demon and never knew that's how you had it (and everyone thinks that 18 year olds only think about girls!!)
