Description of 1972 Dodge Dart Demon 340 |
1972 Dodge Dart Demon (LM29H1B509xxx) factory 340c.i.(H-code) car with the awesome 5-speed Keisler engineering Tremec TKO-600 transmission. The Demon has power disc brakes, ower steering, actory performance hood with stripe, lack 340 Demon side stripe and black trunk stripe, riginal AM radio, actory vinyl top and rallye wheels with BFG tires. The Demon is believed to have 46,010 original miles as stated on the PA title and some older documents from previous owners. The stunning high gloss FE5 Bright Red base/clear paint is the correct factory color. The Demon was restored over the last few years and I just finished up a light restoration from top to bottom, hich included the entire engine bay, runk compartment, how car wet sand/buffing, allye wheels/tires, ull exhaust with factory tips, rand new professionally rebuilt correct date code 1972 340 engine (less than 100 miles), ome interior items and many other items (please read details below). All of the body numbers match on the radiator support, IN tag and on the speaker shelf/trunk divider area. You must check these numbers to authenticate that it is a real 340 Demon. This is an absolutely beautiful car and one of the nicest factory 340 Demons you will find with an excellent restoration and very low miles, reat options and the awesome 5 speed overdrive transmission! The Demon was only produced for two years, n 1971 and 1972, herefore production numbers are very low, ith few left that are actually factory H-code 340 cars and are in this condition. I also have the factory vehicle owners manual with the clear plastic jacket. PAINT AND BODY The body is in excellent shape and the panels are very straight with excellent seems and panel fit. The super high-gloss deep clear coat shine was just professionally wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 grit paper to achieve the high caliber ultra shine finish. This long process alone took over 40 hours and the finish shows it! The Demons sheet metal is believed to be mostly original with only the quarters, runk extensions and front floor pans being replaced. The trunk floor, ear floor boards, ockers, enders, ood, oors and frame rails are super clean and original. The Demon was painted about 2 years ago with base coat/clear coat and is in unbelievable condition... it has that deep wet look shine! If you think it looks good in the photos you need to see it in person! There are NO paint blisters or bubbles and looks fantastic. I am very critical on paint and there are only two extremely minor flaws in the paint, oth located below the doors where the rocker meets the quarter at the seam. They are a very small 1" or 2" line in the paint (most of all A-body's have this). These are extremely minor flaws and are not seen unless you are on your hands and knees. The trunk paint was just done and looks excellent! The underside of the trunk lid, ood and all the jams were done when the car was painted. The doors open and close excellent with the ease of a finger and even the door latches and strikers were cleaned and polished. GLASS, HROME AND TRIM The glass is in very good original condition with only a few very minor marks. The front windshield is Chrysler stamped and in very good shape (it has had a chip fixed). The original Chrysler side and rear glass is in very nice condition and only the rear glass has a few minor scratches. All windows and locks operate as should. The front bumper is newer and the rear bumper was replaced by the previous owner and in very nice shape; however there are 3 chips in the chrome around the bumper bolt area (must have been overtightened). The top is free of any marks and has excellent chrome. The window trim is very clean and was polished for optimum shine. INTERIOR The interior was re-done with factory/custom seat covers, arpet, oor panels, runk divider, peaker shelf, ash pad, oodgrain on complete dash and sill plates. The factory gauge cluster is very nice condition. All factory gauges work and operate correctly. There are aftermarket water and oil pressure gauges for accuracy. All lighting works as should including the high/low beams, ome light, ail lights, arking lights, urn signals, our-way flashers and license plate light. The factory AM radio also works great! The E-brake, efrosters, eater, an, orn, peedometer and dimmer switch work as should. The seat covers have the Demon character embroided in the top of the front seats! The original headliner in in decent shape and has some area's that were repaired. I believe they are finally reproducing these one piece board types now. DRIVE TRAIN / SUSPENSION The new professionally rebuilt date coded 1972 340 makes excellent power, uns very strong through all the gears and sounds great. The original 340 was long gone before I got the car but having a correct date coded 340 is very nice to have. The 340 was completely rebuilt to 1970 340 specs with 9.8:1 compression and a steel crank. We just put the new 340 in on 6-15-15 and it has less than 200 miles on it!!! It has a new Crower solid lift cam (very close to stock) 438/456 lift and 229 duration at .050, olid lifters, djustable rockers, iming chain, ater pump, ead gaskets, ored .030 over, RW Sealed Power forged pistons and rings, econdition rods and crank, elling oil pump and all new Clevite bearings and brass USA freeze plugs. The new 340 gives an excellent range of power and has the well-needed 17lbs of vacuum to operate the power disc brakes. The 2.02 "J" heads (casting number 3418915 G) have been totally redone with hardened seats, alve job, ew guides, eats and springs. All engine parts were made in the USA and not the cheap crap that is out there. I only use the Brad Penn High Performance oil and all the correct break in oil was used on start up and motor is all ready to go! It is one of the best oils on the market and already has the higher Zinc added in for your older cars. The 1972 340 has a casting date of 2-8-72 and engine casting # is 2780930-340-5. The 340 is topped of with a Edelbrock intake and Edelbrock Thunder AVS series 650 cfm carb #1806 with electric choke. It also has the correct factory 340 exhaust manifolds part #'s 3614368 and 3418623. The new aluminum radiator was also just added with the new 340 and also has a fan shroud. The 5-speed Tremec TKO-600 transmission is absolutely incredible!!! It gives you excellent performance from red light to red light and gives you the extra 5th gear for highway cruising keeping your RPM's very low! This complete kit cost over $4,700, lus labor. I have all the info on it with all the install papers and receipts. The rear end is a 8 1/4 with 4.10 posi center and a casting number of 3723599. It has newer Mopar Performance super stock leaf springs, angers, ushings and new Monroe rear shocks. The front suspension had a PST kit installed in 2006 and is in great shape. This excellent drive train combo has very good performance and handles awesome in all conditions whether highway or city driving. This is a very tight and excellent smooth running and driving 340 5-speed Demon! This Demon has what everbody wants and sets it self apart from others with being a factory H-code and has power disc brakes, ower steering, -speed overdrive Tremec, rand new 340 motor and much more! I typically restore and finish around 10 Mopars a year and have been working on them for more than 25 years and I do every one as they were my own to keep. I put a lot of time, ffort, ride and money in the cars that I offer for sale which is evident when viewing one of my cars compared to others for sale. This is one of the few cars you can view in person and say that it is actually nicer than the photos.
