For sale is a restored 1972 Plymouth Scamp with its original drivetrain.
History: I purchased the Scamp from the original owner about 4 years ago. The Scamp is a California car and the owner parked it in his shed back in 1996 and didn't drive after that. There was no rust on the Scamp and the odemeter read 96k miles, which the owner said hadn't turned over. Exterior: The exterior was originally B3 blue with a white vinyl top. Most of the body was taken down to bare metal and sprayed with metal lock primer. There wasn't much dents to take care of and the body is pretty straight. I preferred the B5 blue color, so the Scamp was sprayed with several coats of PPG brand B5 blue. The paint was covered with several coats of PPG brand clear. I preferred a black engine bay and trunk so that's why they are not painted the same as the exterior. The paint has about 5k miles on it and looks very good but has a few touch up areas since the Scamp is a driver. I have about a 1/3 of a gallon of the PPG B5 blue paint left, so if you wanted to paint the engine bay, trunk or fix the touch up areas you could. All the glass looks good, windows roll up very nicely and the windshield is new. All the chrome, bumpers and grill are original and are in good shape. New weatherstripping and new vinyl top. I have the fender and rocker panel chrome moldings, I prefer how it looks without them. I added the 340 hood scoops, dual black trunk stripes and the Cuda flip gas cap. The metal around the flip gas cap was not altered and you can be put the original gas cap back if you don't like the look of the flip top. Drivetrain: The original 318 engine has been completely rebuilt with all new components and added a new Edelbrock intake and new Edelbrock 4 barrel carb. The original 904 automatic transmission was also rebuilt. The Scamp got dual Flowmaster exhaust and they sounds great. The rebuilt drivetrain has about 5k miles on it, runs great and you can drive the Scamp anywhere. The Scamp is an A/C car but I didn't hook up the A/C or its components, I didn't like how it looks on the engine. I still have all the A/C stuff if you wanted to hook it up but I don't know if it works or not. Interior: Most of the interior is new, except for the seats and door panels. The seats and door panels are original and are in great shape with no rips or tears. The interior metal was originally B5 blue and received the same treatment as the exterior. Everything works on the Scamp except for the heater switch. I believe the switch is bad or since I didn't hook up the A/C maybe there something that wasn't hooked up. I really don't need a heater that bad in California, so I just hooked the heater motor to the map light toggle switch. The AM radio is not hooked up but works. There is a CD player mounted underneath the A/C vents with two speakers in the back and one under the dash. I have the original steering wheel. Wheels: The Scamp has 17" Showwheels Streeters with Falken tires. The wheels have about 5k miles on them. I also have the original steel wheels, hubcaps and they have new tires on them. On the last several pictures, you can see the decoded fender tag and the Scamp taken completely apart. The Scamp has a clean California title and has it's original California blue license plates. For any inquires, shoot me an email...Thanks |

Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum
Tue, May 19 2015A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...
Will airbags sandbag the 2017 Dodge Viper?
Thu, Jan 14 2016The Dodge Viper is speeding down the road to cancellation for the 2017 model year, and at least part of the reason for the V10 monster's death is a problem fitting it with federally mandated side curtain airbags. An anonymous source close to FCA US told Motor Trend the automaker can't install the parts because they would further limit the coupe's already tight headroom. The government believes the side curtain airbags can reduce occupant ejections during accidents, and all vehicles must have them for the 2017 model year. The Viper's slow sales also don't provide FCA US much motivation to work out a solution to this problem. The automaker moved just 676 of the handmade sports coupes in the US in 2015, which was down 11 percent from 760 deliveries in 2014. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne hinted at the Detroit Auto Show that the Viper could return eventually. He doesn't like that the current model has a dedicated platform but indicated a new one could share the underpinnings with another of the company's products. Marchionne's current business plan for FCA stresses building the automaker's value, so it might be a while before we see the sweater-clad CEO focusing on a niche vehicle like the Viper.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
