1972 Plymouth Scamp, Dodge Dart on 2040-cars

 For sale is a 1972 Plymouth Scamp

History: I purchased the Scamp from the original owner about 3 years ago. The Scamp is a California car and had not been driven or registered since 1998. The Scamp had about 96,000 miles on the odometer. The Scamp was born with a 318, 3 speed auto (904) transmission, B3 blue exterior, B5 blue interior, white vinyl top and air conditioning. You can view the last photo for the vin/fender tag which has been decoded.

Exterior: The Scamp had no rust and had a crappy respray of the original color. The body had a few dents which were pulled out. The body was taken down to either bare medal or to the original paint and it was primed with metal lock primer. I didn't care for the light B3 blue color so I decided to paint the Scamp the darker B5 blue. The Scamp was painted with PPG brand paint with several coats and several coats of clear coat. The doors, trunk lid, fenders and hood were all taken off and painted separately. The paint job looks great and has a nice shine to it. There was a lot of time and money spent on the paint job.

The engine bay, trunk and underneath the Scamp were all painted gloss black. The chrome is all original and looks pretty good. A new vinyl black top and front windshield was installed. The rest of the glass is original and looks pretty good. All new weatherstripping and front/rear glass seals.

Interior: The front seats, rear seats, door panels and gauge cluster are all original and are in great shape. Almost everything else inside the Scamp is new and was purchased from either classic industries or year one. The interior metal was also sprayed with same paint as the body. The original radio works but is not hooked up. There is a sony cd player mounted under the air conditioning vents and there are two speakers in the back and one up front.

Engine: The drive train is all original. The engine was completely rebuilt about 2 years ago. The engine also got all new components, new Edelbrock performer intake and 4 barrel carb. There is easily 5k spent under the hood. The transmission was taken to Mr. Transmission. The transmission looked great and just needed new seals and gaskets, so it wasn't rebuilt. A new set of Flowmasters were added. The Scamp runs and sounds great. I did not put the air conditioning unit on the car, I didn't like how it looked. I still have everything so if you wanted to reinstall it you could.

Wheels: The rims are new Show wheel Streeters 17x7 with new 225x45x17 Falken times. I also have the mopar rallye style rims with new Goodyear tires if you rather have them instead, your choice.

Everything works on the Scamp as it should except for the heater. Since I took the Air conditioning unit off, I didn't hook the controls back up so therefore I didn't hook up the heater either. I did hook the heater fan to the map light toggle switch, so there is a heater but it doesn't turn on using the proper controls.

Since the restoration, I have probably put about 3k miles on it. I usually drive it at least once a week and the furthest I have driven it was to Hot August Nights in Reno which is about a 4 hour round trip. The Scamp ran great and you could drive it anywhere.

I have the fender and rocker panel chrome. I didn't put it on, I like how it looks without it better. I also have the original steering wheel as well.

Feel free to ask anything about the Scamp, I'm sure there is something I forgot to mention. I also have receipts for just about everything.
