Default Intro and info request - 1971 Dodge Demon

Hi all,

I am new here. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I just purchased the only Dodge Demon in the country. As this car wasn't officially sold in the country, some dude in 1970s studied in the USA and brought this car to the country. So, I have a very limited source for parts - we bascially anything.
The condition of the car is rather poor (see pictures). My plan is to restore it to its original glory - not restomod kind of restorarion.

I am currently hunting high and low for parts - mainly from eBay and send them to a friend in the US who can ship those parts at some point.

I am asking member of this forum if anyone can recommend a good source for parts - interior and exterior - mainly for this particular car.
Perhaps a reliable and sourceful online shop.

Thank you all and hope to get some info.

Josh

Interior parts are readily available through Legendary- website link:
http://www.legendaryautointeriors.com/

Exterior will be a lot harder- looks like you will be in need of some sheetmetal- Autobody Specialties has some stuff available:
http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/

If you need parts that aren't available as reproduction, the best thing to do would be to subscribe to Mopar Collector's Guide and Hemmings Motor News and shop through the parts classified for what you need. There are several salvage yards specializing in Mopars out there- Desert Valley Auto Parts and Stephens Performance come to mind- but you will have to contact them to see if they have what you need. Both advertise in the two magazine references I gave you, by the way. eBay is a good source as well, don't give up on that. A couple of good forums for you to join also:

http://board.moparts.org/

Good luck.

Hi TeeWJay426,

Thank you for such a useful information. I will try to subscribe - though I am unsure about getting it overseas, but will try.
One more thing that I am in pain of searching is the chrome mouldings which are available for A-Body Demon. There are some used but they are not good.
Is there a company that specialized in reproducting chrome mouldings?

Anyone in the forum might able to help?

Thanks again!
Josh
