71 DODGE DART DEMON

UP FOR BID IS MY 1971 DODGE DART DEMON. I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH ANYMORE AND THIS IS THE REASON I'M SELLING IT. IT'S BEEN LOTS OF FUN AT CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE NIGHTS AND DRAWS LOTS OF ATTENTION. JUST DON'T SEE MANY OF THESE AROUND. IT'S A MANUAL STEER. POWER BRAKE CAR WITH NO AC. RUNS STRAIGHT AND TRUE DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO UNUSUAL DRIVETRAIN NOISES OR ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A 100 POINT SHOW CAR BUT DOES SHOW VERY WELL AT LOCAL EVENTS. THE BODY IS RUST FREE AND VERY STRAIGHT. PAINT IS A 7. 5 OUT OF 10 AND I AM VERY CRITICAL.

BODY:  NO RUST! PAINT AND LINES ARE VERRY NICE. FLOORS ARE ORIGIONAL AND SOLID AS IS THE TRUNK. NO HOLES! HARDTOP IS VERY NICE WITH NO BUBBLES OR ISSUES UNDER. GLASS IS ALSO NICE. TRIM IS SHINY AND IN GREAT SHAPE. FACTORY HOOD WITH SCOOPS. THE LAST ENGINE IN THE CAR HAD A HIGH RISE AND A HOLE WAS CUT BUT NOW HAS A CENTER SCOOP TO COVER. LOOKS VERY NICE BUT OBVIOUSLY SHOULDN'T BE THERE. THIS IS NOT A BONDO FILLED BODY! LINES ARE STRAIGHT.

INTERRIOR:  SEATS ARE VERY NICE WITH MINIMUL WEAR. BACK SEAT TOP HAS SOME LOOSE STITCHES AND FRONT SEATS UNDER FOLD (CAN'T SEE UNLESS FOLDED) HAVE A FEW WEAR SPOTS. CARPETS ARE REAL NICE WITH NO FADE OR TEARS. DASH IS CLEAN WITH NO CUTS. ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS FINE INCLUDING LIGHTS AND WIPERS. UNDERDASH STEREO INSTALLED BUT ORIGIONAL INTACT. HEADLINER IS ORIGIONAL AND GOOD. DOOR PANELS ARE ALSO NICE.

DRIVETRAIN:  440 ENGINE WITH MILD CAM AND HIGH TORQUE INTAKE. ELECTRIC WATER PUMP AND FAN. LONG TUBE STAINLESS HEADERS. ENGINE RUNS FANTASTIC BUT DOES HAVE A REAR OIL SEAL LEAKING. SHOULD BE REPLACED. ALSO SHOULD NOTE THERE IS A VIBRATION PICKED UP THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN BETWEEN 1500 AND 2200 RPM'S. NOT MAJOR BUT CAN BE IRRITATING. BUGS ME ANYWAY. IT COMES AND GOES AND MY THINKING IS IT'S THE CLUTCH. PUT A NEW ONE IN LAST YEAR AND THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED. LAST TIME I BUY A NAPA CLUTCH! TRANSMISSION IS A 4 SPEED WITH PISTOL GRIP AND HAS NO ISSUES. SHIFTS FINE WITH NO JUMPING OUT OF GEAR. REAR IS THE ORIGIONAL 2:23 SURE GRIP AND ALSO WORKS FINE WITH NO ISSUES.

IN CONCLUSION THIS CAR IS WELL WORTH WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IT. IT IS A NICE LOCAL SHOW CAR AND FUN TO DRIVE. WITH THE 3:23 REAR IT'S PRETTY EASY ON GAS TOO. I'VE HAD QUITE A FEW COLLECTOR CARS OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS ONE HAS BEEN THE MOST FUN. JUST GET IN IT AND DRIVE ANYWHERE.
