1971 Demon, FC7 Plum Crazy
Important note: This story is not really about a "restoration", the plan is only to get this car bare-bones, minimally road worthy and then drive it locally.
Hi All, I originally had this car for sale, but decided to keep it and work on it. I originally found it advertised on the internet from a junkyard in Bethlehem Pennsylvania about a month ago. The junkyard owner said that he sold the land to a housing company after 30 years of ownership and he was now having a "going out of business sale". He said the Demon was dumped there 25 years ago and was bumping around the junkyard ever since. The only parts taken off of it in that time was the drivers door and the steering column. He said either the Demon must be sold, or else it will be crushed in a month and a half. I couldn't let a cool car like this get crushed, so I bought it and trailered it six hour round trip home to upstate New York. Here are pictures of it in the junkyard in Bethlehem, sitting next to a Citron Yella 1972 318 Demon. It is complete. The nose is from a 1972 Gold Duster. The engine is a 225 slant six with matched auto trans on the column. The engine & trans are correct for the car but are not numbers matching. The engine is seized too.
