1972 Dodge Demon in Orange with a 340 Engine & Rare Factory Sun Roof My Car Story with Lou Costabile

Now, that is definitely a rare roof option! The whole car looks great as well. I love how Edward is keeping this one in the family, too. Thanks, Lou!

WOW!! Such a classic example MOPAR muscle! Perfect color, trim, engine, etc. Yep, still sounds like a MOPAR when starting up! Thanks Lou for a great morning treat!

Amazing! That's what I call a "screamin demon!" What a awesome example a raw Mopar power for such a small vehicle at the time! Thanks again for making my day Lou!

Have never seen a soft canvas top Demon ever. Another rare gem from Lou and this is a sweet sounding 340. Congrats to owner. Great vid guys. Thanks!

This is just like my Demon,my first car!! Same Colour,Everything!! This brings back the Best Memories!! Mine was a318!! The 340 Rocks!Much love to you🇨🇦

Thanks for this great Car Story Lou! I have never seen a roof like this on a Demon (Duster etc). It’s great that he kept the car in the family. He is a great custodian of automotive history.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍.Had a Red 73 Duster 340 dual exhaust pipes coming out near the rear tires t/a radials six pack dual white stripes from front fenders to rear panels saying 340.😢Gone but not forgotten.

Glad to see the V3X Demon survive I have a 1972 Duster with (V3X) sunroof. At 8 years old I was with my dad in 1972 at the dealership when he bought it. It was my first car in 1979, now I am 57 and I still have it currently its being restored, would like to meet Edward Althouse.

Great Dodge. Beautifully done.

This is definitely a rare car a Dodge Demon 1972 with a soft sunroof you don't get to see too many demons opposed to the Plymouth Duster very awesome treat Lou

I knew a guy that had a ‘71 orange Demon with the slant-6. He bought and affixed a factory decal kit with the 340 stickers for the rear quarter panels. It had the steel rally wheels, but they were narrow, and it had the dinky little tailpipe hanging out the back. It was amusing as hell when driving down the highway and some guy would roar up to have a go, only to realize it was a six!!

What a beautiful, beautiful car. I bought my 72 Demon new, with a 318 and a four speed from the dealer. I never had any idea there was a sunroof option. However what intrigues me is the small Pentastar badge behind the right front wheel; typical Chrysler adornment for all their vehicles. Mine didn’t have one, and what I seem to remember is that those were discontinued for the 1972 model year. A friend of mine got one and mounted it for me as a surprise, which I thought made my vehicle really special…though not as special as Edward’s Sizzler Package. What a beauty.

That's a Sweet 🎂🍒 72 Demon 340 keep it coming..I remember those hotrods back in the day!!

Beautiful job on the restoration, thanks Lou, congratulations on making 100k subscribers!

I remember my college buddy's basic/mundane Duster, this one is a far cry from that for sure. Nonetheless, we had so much fun in Pond's "ruster duster", even with pieces rusting off and the passenger door that would fly open when making left hand turns.

awesome, lou, good to see another rare classic, especially with that sunroof! thanx!

Hi, Lou! This car was built for only two years as the Demon, but it continued for another four years with a different name, Dart Sport. This was after Dodge took a lot of flack for the Demon name, largely from Christian groups. AC/DC can take one on the Highway to Hell if they want, but personally I don't think I would want a car with that name, either. As for that sunroof, I can think of a couple of other cars from this period that offered a folding sunroof similar to the one on Edward's car. One was the AMC Hornet Sportabout wagon, and the Buick Skylark Sun Coupe. Also, the early Nash Rambler convertibles had a similar kind of top that rolled over the window rails. Thanks, Lou and Edward for this rare presentation.

That's the fist I've ever seen with a sunroof the rear spoiler adds a nice touch I remembered the seats would get hot regardless of chrome strips vinal seats would wake one up in a nanosecond love the hemi orange on a demon/ duster /dart

Beautiful car Lou!! Thanks for sharing this one.

Cool Demon ! Thanks for posting Lou !
