Today on Dead Dodge Garage, we’ve got a live one! After years of patiently waiting for the stars to align, I am extremely proud and grateful to be the new caretaker of this 1971 Dodge Demon 340. It’s not perfect - but it’s pretty dang great.

    I was ten years old in 1971 and seeing these mopars brand new on the streets was a thrill. My older brothers said the 340's were mustang munchers.

    The more I see current vehicles, the more I admire the performance cars of 50+ years ago. What an awesome driver!

    Back in the 70s my buddy had a 71 Demon 340 in metallic brown while I had a 69 Roadrunner in blue..

    Thank you for giving Dale the recognition and respect he deserves hes a great man. I was blessed to be his neighbor for years and we became very very close
  • The unbridled joy of getting your own time machine from back when. It's evident in your commentary. Congratulations Man. That is going to make you smile so much.

    Still a bad As$ car 40+ years later, Demons were a cool car and while not the fastest could easily chew up most small block offerings from the competition. Thanks for this trip back!
  • Very nice acquisition. You struck gold in that A Body was stored indoors. Hope you can keep it and make all necessary improvements if need be..
  • That's a great car and an even better story! I'm glad you got this one, you are the right guy to carry the torch.
  • @davidwest1466
    I think that is one of the coolest cars, the tail lights make this car, the coolest rear end out there.
  • @Kryptic1046
    Congrats! That is a beast, and your commentary had me laughing the whole way through. I recently got an '81 Camaro street rod that my bank helped me acquire. Sometimes with these older cars, you gotta make a play while you can because you never know when or if you're going to have another opportunity. Enjoy it I say!
