I like it. Never seen one with red interior... I understand the look they were going for... sinister black and red. I'm curious as to why they didn't use a Dana axle with the Hemi, instead of an 8 3/4 in this pricey build?

Nice car! I also love the sleeper look. Nice interior to contrast the exterior. Only thing I don't like is the shifter.
Wonder how it handles with all that weight up front on this light-ish car.
I don't think $85k is outrageous asking price for so much car.

Awesome car. Agree about the shifter. Interior is a little too red for my liking, would rather have black door uppers/dash/column/wheel, but I sure as heck wouldn't turn it down over that.

I like the shifter, have one in my car. The command center is a great place to mount my water pump, fuel pump, fan switches, etc. Nice tidy setup.

I have no doubt it's a great shifter. I just don't care for the look. I can't think of a single floor-mount aftermarket shifter for an auto that I like, that doesn't look out of place.

Love the look of this Demon and the aftermarket floor mounted shift does look out of place. I recently considered buying a factory 1970 Duster 340 that was modded extensively including the addition of a B + M floor mounted shift. I like the factory clean stock look of the 1970 Duster 340 -not overdone with graphics and stripes / call outs. I could not get past the mods on a factory 340 car so I stepped away - owner has receipts exceeding 50k in mods - ultimately sold for 20k. Car had a 408 BPE small block, aftermarket Corbeau front seats, a different K member, and aftermarket exhaust + headers + aftermarket wheels + aftermarket discs and a Dana 60 out back with discs.... Green on green car -if he started all the mods on a /6 or 318 car I can understand that, but modding a solid factory 340 car just seemed wrong.

I've got a preference for black body/red interior cars. I can handle the shifter, but the red steering wheel just bothers me every time I look at the pictures... Yeah, the wheel color jumped out on me too and a sort of tuff wheel (repro) on that car didn't look right but I figured at least it's a Mopar thing. The shifter just looks so out of place IMO. I understand it's a good one, but I would much prefer something more factory appearing.
