1971 Dodge Demon ( or worse than one Demon)

[satterwhite78]

Seems nobody flinched when Dodge introduced  the Hellcat but in 1971 church groups got in a uproar when Dodge debut the Dodge Demon.

Bad enough the younger generation drove like Hell but when driving a Demon, it just seem to reinforce a bad habit. Fronted by a playful caricature,  church groups failed to see the humor of Dodge's advertising. Lasting only two years,  Chrysler exercised the Demon to Automotive obscurity......or did it?

A great kit! A little figity when installing the chassis to the body. The decals are thicker than normal and have a excess clear border around the stripes.  I personally would recommend trimming as close to the stripe to have a better finished result. 

Trim in MM Go Mango Lacquer #28106 to simulate the Dodge EV2 Paint code of Hemi Orange.  And a bonus!

A resin body Demon from Bandit Resins I purchased a few years back using a 75/76 Dodge Dart as a donor.

Thats a couple good looking builds!

Looks beautiful.  When I did mine I considered doing it in Hemi Orange before settling on Sublime.  I'm thinking of getting another Challenger kit to do a 71 conversion in Hemi Orange.  After seeing your car in that color I think it'll be a good choice.

THAT Green was my 1st choice! but you did a much better job.  Looking at my collection I try to vary/ mix things up and when I was looking at my cabinets all I saw was green.  When I looked on the other side.........that's right, orange! but the paint was already applied and it looks great to me!

No one batted a eye when they brought back the demon name and new demon head logo for it  with the demon challenger in 2018 either

Nice work. Dodge changed the name to Dart Sport.

Great looking paint color and finish. The stripes and Demon trim look good. Don't you wish you could buy something like this today at a price comparable to its market price at that time? 

[Yeah Nah]

Nice pair Charles!

Speaking of censorship, I still remember radio stations bleeping out the word 'bloody' (even though in the context it wasn't a swear word) when they played the song 'Snoopy vs The Red Baron' by The Royal Guardsmen.

Both look very good.

[Hmann68]

Great looking cars! Can’t wait to get mine. I love your color choices on both cars, but that orange really grabs ya lol. Nice work! 

[Just Jim]

Both look great

Good looking builds.  So my parents and our family were very regular attenders at a fairly conservative church when I was growing up.  When I was 17 in 1974 I bought a 1972 Dodge Demon that took me from there to marriage etc. Anyhow my mom and dad could have cared less it was called a Demon.  Actually I never hear any of this about people complaining about the name until years later.  Again great builds.  

[ewetwo]

They are both awesome. 

[happy grumpy]

Both great builds. That orange looks super nice. The blue one reminds me of a friend of mine who had a Demon quite close to that blue. Nice setting too.

Beautiful pair!
