1971 Dodge Demon Classic Car Project

In this series, we are preparing to sell this 1971 Dodge Demon. In part 1, we finally get this project off the ground by removing the Demon from storage. This car has spent the majority of the last 18 years in storage. It's time for someone to get out and enjoy this American classic.Show more

About this 1971 Dodge Demon:
- Restored in the 1990s
- Original Color: Brown
- 318ci engine

What are we doing?
Today, we are attempting to move the car out of storage and into a local shop for a new fuel sending unit, along with some electrical diagnosis & repair.

What are we using?
We bring along a battery, jumper cables, gasoline, and our excitement as we try to fire up this classic car for the 1st time in a year.

Do you have any concerns about today's work?
Our only concern is the wiring. Although this car was restored in the 1990s, it seems to have several wiring issues, stemming from aftermarket accessories such as; roll control, tachometer, radio, and triple gauge cluster. This car has had a short the last two times we've put it on the road.

Are you going to put different wheels on it?
Yes, we have original Mopar Rallye wheels which will be going on after they undergo reconditioning. We will complete the wheel(s) reconditioning in our shop. Stay tuned for that video!

What's your favorite thing about this car?
Our favorite thing about this car is simply enough, that it's a Demon. Dad had a 1972 Dodge Demon in high school. We purchased this car in 2003 because of dad and with the hope of just having some fun in the car.

Doing any body work in this project?
Yes, we'll be reworking the hood, replacing the wheels, and doing some work in the trunk as well.

What do you think your favorite part of this project will be?
Working together with dad on something we both enjoy.

Believe it or not...
This Demon was an undesirable brown color from factory. Although it's a two door, you likely wouldn't have thought of this as a sports car, muscle car, or even a class car maybe, someday. I wouldn't have given this car much of a look and certainly not a 2nd look before it's restoration was completed in the 90s. New paint, big pinstripes, and a flat black hood can change a lot for a car. Hope you enjoy this video!

Should I take on restoration project of my own?
Sure! Put a plan together, stay organized along the way and don't lose parts. I've found projects or repairs go much smoother when I designate an area to be used solely for the purpose at hand until the job is complete. This provides a space to put nuts and bolts, old and new parts, etc. without the worry or actuality of cross contaminating the work area with other parts, projects, tools, and even garbage.
