I haven't weighed the two to compare but it's not going to be much difference. The Demon has more parts (fender extensions, etc. and a slightly longer hood), but on a guess I'd think the (equally equipped) Duster would still weigh just a little more simply because the front bumper is bigger on a Duster.

They did in fact change the noses and the tail panel.

Dual exhaust vs single? Ralle dash vs base dash cluster assembly, single 4 vs 2bbl intake and carb? Seems a bit excessive to me?

But more so than others, the 7 1/4 was the more common rear that im guessing is what the shipping weights were using. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer
