Autohunter Spotlight: 1972 Dodge Demon 340

Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 1972 Dodge Demon 340. As the cousin to the Plymouth Duster, the Demon featured the Dart’s front styling and a cute caricature from the underworld. Most Demons were equipped with the “Slant Six” or 318 V-8, but this one is a honkin’ model, a Demon 340 with the high-winding small-block that showed many a big-block who’s boss. Features on this vehicle include racing mirrors, Rallye wheels, bucket seats, center console, factory AM radio, updated digital gauges, and more. Painted Hemi Orange over a white and black interior, this Mopar muscle car comes from the selling dealer with a clear title.

The exterior features the classic “EV2” Hemi Orange hue, which is how it came from the factory. It is complemented by longitudinal and transverse black stripes. Other features include color-keyed racing mirrors with driver-side remote, Demon 340 decals, and black-painted bumpers with bumper guards. A set of 14-inch Rallye wheels is wrapped in staggered-width Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter tires — 215/70 front, 235/60 rear.

The cabin features a white interior with front bucket seats. This car was originally built with the code A88 Interior Décor Group, which included simulated wood-grained instrument panel and door panel trim, rear armrests with ash receiver, and carpets. Other features include a center console with automatic shifter, factory AM radio, and three-spoke steering wheel.

The instrument panel features aftermarket digital gauges that include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, temperature, voltage, and fuel. The odometer currently shows 17 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.

The 340ci V-8 was rated at 240 net horsepower when new and featured an electronic ignition. When combined with the lightweight A-body platform, the lowered compression and new horsepower method had an insignificant impact on what a giant-killer this mill really was. It’s backed by a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic.

The undercarriage features manual drum brakes and a dual exhaust system with chrome tips.

The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner (and Dodge Super Bee) gave the kids a cheap performance car that set the market afire, but it could be argued that the Dodge Demon 340 (and its inspirational Plymouth Duster 340 cousin) truly was the best bang for the buck. Add the cartoonish demeanor, stellar color, and photogenic interior, and the subject of our AutoHunter Spotlight is quite the attractive performance car. If you have champagne dreams but also have a beer budget, then bottoms up and bid on this 1972 Dodge Demon 340 because the auction ends on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (PDT).
