Wait! There was a Demon Before the Demon?
By the early 1970s, insurance prices were through the roof, keeping many buyers out of the muscle-car market. Enter the Dodge Demon 340, which put a strong emphasis on performance, while considering the operating costs including the insurance premiums. (Source: Road and Track)
The power of the Demon 340 was the tried-and-true Dodge 340ci small-block, which first appeared on the 1968 Charger. Rated at 275 horsepower, it produced plenty of power to give the Demon 340 the muscle-car designation and its easy-to-spot styling and graphics shouted performance, even when standing still.
The Dodge Demon 340 was only produced for two years – 1971-1972. They are scarce today, so don’t be surprised if you haven’t seen one around your town in years.

The Johnny Lightning Story
Back in 2002. Johnny Lightning Toys released The Best of Cover Cars Diecast Models, a limited-edition model. The special “Best of” Series commemorated Johnny Lightning’s final release in the long-standing Cover Car series featuring cars from the pages of Mustang Illustrated, Super Chevy and High Performance Mopar magazines.
After spotting this 1971 Dodge Demon 340 on the cover of the July 1999 issue of High Performance Mopar, the Johnny Lightning team chose it to be the model for a diecast car in the series. A total of 10,000 models of this Demon 340 were made. We saved one of these factory-sealed collector items for the winner!
