How many fender tags normally? 71 Demon Newbie....
Greetings!
LOTS going on here, so I'll try and keep it simple......
Picked up a 71 Demon 340 via a deceased friend....his old college car.... has very rare "9 horn" option, which I cannot find on the fender tag. BUTT, I did finally find the fender tag today! Thought it was MIA.....nope, just tucked beneath some sort of aftermarket cruise unit.....
Pardon my questions which may have been asked a bazillion times before, but this is my first Mopar ever. Grew up in Chevy country, then switched to Fords when POS Chevys were bringing stupid money. Always liked Mopars, just never got around to buying one until now....shoulda bought the two hemi convertible Challengers I was offered back in the 80's.....but with two kids in diapers and a garage full of car/Harley, and driveway full of Cougars......where ya gonna put two cars that both need a 1/4 panel replaced??? ...woulda paid for the kid's college education and then some today!!! Argh.
OK my question: After running the 4 lines of options I have thru the decoder on another website (stockmopar) I find myself wondering if there is supposed to be another tag with more codes???? I found no codes on the tag which I do have, that mention wheels/hubcaps, brakes, wipers, heater options, lighting, etc....... I thought I had seen examples of two tags..... Mine has the 4 lines of codes and then above is an END on the LH side of the tag, apparently meaning the END of sales codes.
The bottom line has engine code, and proper sequence code, so perhaps this is it?
Then again, the "Economy Trim" package may say a lot by not saying anything?
I did find that the car had the in dash tach, chrome exhaust tips, and hood pins ordered as perhaps not more normal items???
Car was dark blue and I believe had white longitude sport stripes and white transverse stripes, although I am having a hard time recalling what the transverse stripes were. Today it's sorta dark blue with some black paint from something......and some primer or sealer on the top.....it's all bad......
Clutch is MIA. Barely got it out of 1/2" deep ruts today, to move it for some building destruction coming up. Don't need to crush it before I can drive it!!! First thing I want to do when I get it on a hoist is drop that clutch out and see what's left of the flywheel. Not sure how difficult 340 flywheels are to locate....new or nice used.....but something is bad now...!
Looking forward to answers, thanks in advance!!!
Cheers!

Seems like a basic sleeper car, 340 with 8 speed (4 on the floor and 4 in the trunk!), a true trac dif (not stock) with a bench seat, and likely dog dish caps, no scoops or spoilers. Has rallys on it now....
Car also has manual disc brakes up front.......is this normal or just another way of doing discs with Mopars?
