Years ago I had an Orange/orange 70 V code Challenger. Cool, but it is a lot of orange. I like orange!

The Demon is a dart, Dart/Demon, even though the body is Duster they are a L as in LH29 which stands for Dart fast roof.
In 1973 the Demon’s name was changed to Dart Sport because of the out cry by certain groups that didn’t like the name. Kim

Dart owners manual. Now the question would be is the Scamp a Duster or Dart. I would say it would be a Valiant because the vin number starts with a V. 
Why would the Scamp not be a Valiant? It is a Valiant Scamp.

Yep.
so in 1970 Duster was a valiant Duster
That’s right. Every duster is a valiant. Hence the V as the 1st letter in the vin. Kim
So is 64 Barracuda is a Valiant Barracuda
U betcha. A 64 valiant is just a valiant. Kim.

Like lots of you guys I have had Demons, Dusters, Dart Sports, not a nickel worth of difference in any of them!! Screw the vin #####! lol
Not trying to trash the thread at all. Just think Demon should have its own count that's all. Its not a Dart or a Duster.
Dave, I see where ur coming from. Valiant, V scamp, V duster. Dart, D Demon, D sport. And the most important dart. The D Dart. Kim
Yeah I dunno if I get a vote on this one. VIN says it's a '74 Duster, bodywork says it's a '71 Demon. Mostly.

Johnny Cash says it’s all good!
What’s that old saying. Something like this. If I had Johnny’s cash and Charlie’s pride I’d be set. Kim
During my weekly review of posts in this thread I went through the discussion around Dusters, Demons, and Scamps. As pointed out it would be technically correct to count Dusters as Valiants, Scamps as Valiants, and Demons as Darts. However, I've already split out Dusters and Scamps and I didn't split the early Barracudas off as Valiants. I don't think many of us refer to our cars by the full length name and the chart did need a review now that there's a fair amount of data to work with, besides Darts were kind of running away with the show. Demon, Swinger, and Dart Sport columns added, I think that covers the main versions but I could very quickly split off Formula S, GT and GTS if the desire is out there and maybe I missed something else...
For one body type it sure is complicated!
