Hello from an avid E-Body enthusiast. I currently have a 1974 Dodge Challenger Rallye, beautiful car!!
Having said that, I've always been a Mopar guy. I've had Chargers, Challengers, Darts, a Duster, a Volare, and a Power Wagon.
I'm currently looking at a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport, that is a Factory 340 car with a factory 4-speed.
I asked the gentleman who is selling the car to take a picture of the fender tag, as I wanted to decode it. It verifies that it is a 340 car (I'll have to verify it's an actual 340 upon visual inspection) and also a factory 4-speed (which I love, my Challenger is a factory 4-speed with the Pistol Grip shifter).
However, something that *bothered* me was that in the decode, it refers to the car as a "Dodge Dart/Demon".
I thought the Demon moniker was dropped after 1973 and switched to "Sport"?
Anything else I should beware of...any advice from the experts? I know quite a bit about the E-body cars, and I know enough to ask the experts when I dont' know. So I'm coming right to the experts here. Thanks for any help!
Here is the decode BTW, I'm not sure all the codes were right because a few of the letters/numbers were hard to see in a phone pic, but I think the vast majority are accurate.
