1972 DODGE DEMON 
340 4 BBL A727 Automatic. 

GRAND SPAULDING SPECIAL

 
The Devil made me do it!

The devil made me do is what Mr. Norm told magazine writers back in 1972.
Mr. Norm's Dodge Demons are in a class all their own.

Grand Spaulding Dodge took over when Ma Mopar was looking to get out
of the muscle car wars, and thank the Lord they did. Grand
Spaulding Dodge gave these cars life.



They knew exactly how to set them up, 3.55 gears, cold air induction,
headers and superchargers. But not only could they make them run,
they also knew how to option them out so they looked great while
burning up brand X.

This Grand Spaulding Special is owned by my wife Sharleen.
She purchased the Demon in 1991 when we were dating.

The order form for this car is amazing;
Black on Black on Black with Black Stripes.

This was only the beginning, the options list goes on: Black sizzle stripe,
cold air induction, sill moldings, belt moldings, dual chrome racing mirrors,
wheel lip molding, chrome exhaust extensions, rally wheels, power steering
with tuff steering wheel, power disc brakes, console, bucket seats and
automatic transmission {the go wing is owner installed}.

You may think this is were it ends, but no, the Demon's vin #
starts in the Fives, This is most likely the last 340 Demon built in 1972 {per Galen}
 
Just like Mr. Norm said, the devil made me do it one last time!

The next chapter of this Demon's life includes time on the 1320.
I built a 416 Cubic Inch 340 and in 2010 began racing it in SuperCar Races American Muscle Racing Series,
SuperCar ShootOut (Factory Appearing Racing).


 Check out pics of the build on the SuperCar Forum. Chris Kuskowski
(SuperCar ShootOut Small Block Record Holder & Engine Builder),
with the help of Small Block Guru Jeff Patterson, figured out a brew
that made this Demon rise to the top of the Factory Appearing ranks.
