1973 Dodge Demon Flip Top Funny Car

Coupe

Flip Top Funny Cars had reached a new height of sophistication with regards to overall chassis design and safety when the Ramchargers debuted their ultra light Logghe chassis Dodge Demon Funny Car.

The Ramchargers, a club of noted Dodge Engineers, had successfully campaigned numerous competitive funny cars for almost a decade when they ordered this chassis from the Logghe Brothers shop in Fraser, Michigan. It had many new features with regards to front end suspension, steering, roll cage design and safety issues that addressed the driver.

This car was campaigned by Clare Sanders during its height of success. The Ramchargers and Clare Sanders experienced many victories with the Demon, and it was the first Flip Top Funny Car to exceed 230 miles per hour, which in 1973 was an incredible accomplishment. This along with 6.3 second elapsed times in the quarter mile made this Funny Car one of the most competitive cars of the 1973 racing season.

The body and chassis have been completely restored and are the original components to the Demon. The Ramchargers Demon represents a window into the past of the state of Funny Cars in 1973.
