Factory 3 speed Demon 340

I had (yes, I’m a dumb *** and a dick head and I’m stoopit) a 72 340 4 speed car. Last of the 8.75’s, front disc brakes etc. I was the second owner and the car was like it rolled off the showroom floor.

My buddy bought and was the third owner of a 71 318 3 speed car. I know both previous owners to today and the original guy who bought the car bought it because he could afford it but he passed on a 340 4 speed car and money but his working theory was the 340 hadn’t been out long enough to know it it was durable.

I’m 16 years old and my **** you shouldn’t say filter never worked so I said you do know the 340 is just a 418 with bigger bores and better heads and more compression.

He looked at me funny and walked off.

Sadly, neither of us has either car today. He sold his in late 1981 or early 1982 when he joined the Corps and I sold mine in 1985 because I am a dumfukker because I had to have a full on race car.

Just ignorant.
