Cool - I think I've finally determined the color of my old Demon - GY8 Gold Poly (y) . I found a link to a sweet 72 Dart that was for sale, and I'm 99.999% certain the Dart is the color of my old Demon, and amongst the dozens of pics of the Dart is...wait for it...a pic of the fender tag!, and the color code reads GY8 Gold Poly - woot!! I just called my local paint store and sure enough it's available, and they can mix in a precise amount of matte gloss to 'dim down' the patina so it isn't "glossy" - I don't want it to look 'fresh', I want it to look 'seasoned' . Anyway - just sharing the happy news

Plus, I just brought home (what I hope to be) a good/rebuildable magnum 318 for my Demon.....currently residing inside a '94 Grand Cherokee but that can be 'removed'. It cranks but didn't fire when I went to look at it, and hauled it off for $450. Once at the shop I managed to get it started and running for about 5 seconds before it shut itself off (something about a security disable feature I think), but it gave me just enough time to determine it doesn't have any terminal bottom end noise. The plan is to pull the engine/trans/t-case, stow the engine for the Demon, save the 46rh as a spare for the wife's ZJ, don't know what to do with the t-case, and sell rest of the entire truck as a complete rolling machine for whatever I can get for it. The Rubicon wheels/tires alone are probably worth what I paid for it. I also ordered an Edelbrock 7577 intake and a set of MP valve covers while they were still available. This stuff is kinda getting hard to get...

Here's a pic of the 'engine' -
