The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

Bill Sefton’s 1971 Dodge Demon

The Dodge Dart Demon is oft-forgotten. It’s easy to understand why: the Dodge Dart didn’t have the greatest reputation, and as such, the Demon is swept under the carpet. Its short run doesn’t help, it was only produced for two years before Christian groups protested its name and it got pulled. This car shows that it shouldn’t have been that way. The Demon was built by Mike Staveski of Hudson, Florida, inspired by the works of Mr Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge. Built in tribute to the GSS Demon, it began as a run-of-the-mill 1971 Dodge. New sheet metal was fabricated for the exterior, then work began on the interior. The old crank windows have been replaced with power ones, but with the switches mounted in the center console to maintain its retro looks. A Sony sound system was also added.

Under the hood, the demon shows its evil side. The old V8 was ripped out and a 6.1 liter Hemi installed. Add to this an Imagine Injection Six Pack electronic stack system. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, while stopping power is provided by Wilwood disc brakes. The suspension has been done up with coilovers too. A fairly understated restomod, Staveski has managed to drag the Demon into the 21st century while also maintaining its classic charm.
