The 1972 Dodge Demon 340 is a standout, albeit sometimes overlooked, American muscle car, embodying Dodge’s pursuit of affordable performance and rebellious styling in the early 1970s. Here’s a quick look at its background;

Origins of the Dodge Demon:

The Dodge Demon was introduced in 1971 as part of Dodge’s lineup of compact muscle cars, built on the A-body platform shared with the Dodge Dart. It was designed to compete in the affordable, entry-level-performance car market, offering a lightweight body paired with powerful engines. Positioned as the performance version of the Dart, the Demon was targeted at younger buyers who wanted the excitement of a muscle car without the high price tag.

The Demon’s most famous variant was the Demon 340, powered by the potent 340-cubic-inch V8 engine. This version quickly gained a reputation for being a budget-friendly but high-performance muscle car, delivering impressive speed and handling in a compact, aggressive package.
