Found this one of Robbins Demon. Pretty sure it was the L5 Butterscotch demon he got from me. Also sold him the purple 72 Cuda. Anyone have any pics of it back then? A friend here in town still races it.

I'm pretty sure the demon came from the Hardesty's-spelling? guy in Texas.

Might be. I know he started running a demon after he bought one from me. Didn't know if it was my old one or not?

Re: KOS Photos - 01/10/11 06:14 PM

Robbins got both the Demon, and RoadRunner from Hardesty. Both were built by Bevis Built Racecars. RoadRunner started out with a Wedge, and then a HEMI. Demon had a B1 Wedge.

The Feb 97 issue of Mopar Action says the Hardesty's bought a Demon body from Robbins in the spring of '96. It says it was a real 340 car, but was set up for a BB when they(Hardesty's) bought it. The Hardesty's had Bevis Built do the work on it.

Re: KOS Photos - 01/11/11 04:56 AM

I bought this car from a guy in NC who bought it from Robbins. Although I don't think Mike ever raced it. Rumored to have a 600+ Hemi in it.

Sounds like the one i sold Robbins. It was a 340 car.

Mike Robbins raced the Viper with a Hemi in 2004. I am pretty sure that Mopar Collector's Guide wrote a story about his car and Mike Graham's Polara. I am not sure who owned the Viper before or after Mike.

You are correct about the article in MCG. The Polara is gone now but he still has the article framed in the shop.

When Mark Hughes owned my car he ripped off some nitrous 8.40's, big tires and wheelie bars, with the help of Andy Mayes. I'm not sure if he raced it in the KOS series with Andy or not?

The green Mike Robbins Go Demon used to be butterscotch when it was new from the factory.

And the turbo world's fastest Viper now belongs to Lee Saunders. He wants to buy my Demon and put in a turbo SB.
