 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.

Dodge muscle cars, armored Jeep to star in Furious 7 [w/video]

Wed, Mar 11 2015

We're less than a month away from the smorgasbord of speed, stunts and shooting that is Furious 7, and it arrives in theaters on April 3 as one of the first big films of the year. Starring Fast and Furious regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plus Jason Statham as the big villain, this entry looks to be another exciting addition to the franchise. With such a major movie that features cars as much as the actors, it shouldn't be a surprise that an automaker is getting in on the action as a promotional partner. FCA US supplied nearly 30 vehicles for the film, including prominent roles for a 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger R/T and armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To really play up the connection, the automaker has laid out a global advertising campaign featuring its models. The marketing includes a variety of unique spots with the cars appearing online and in music videos. Among them in the US is a TV ad called Flash to the Future (embedded below) for the Challenger. Hopefully, Furious 7 can live up to all its pre-release hype. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Dodge Journey gets more SUV-like look with new Crossroad model

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Looking to play up its aging three-row crossover, Dodge will introduce a new model for its Journey franchise at next week's Chicago Auto Show. The 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad will be a new trim level positioned between the SXT and Limited, and it will be distinguished from other Journey models thanks to a handful of styling add-ons.
Plucking a page right out of the appearance playbook of the Ford Explorer Sport, the Journey Crossroad gets a meaner, more SUV-like demeanor. The Journey has often straddled the line between tall wagon and crossover, but this new trim goes a long way toward skewing its visuals toward the utility vehicle end of the spectrum. That's thanks largely to the Platinum chrome exterior trim on its roof rails and side sills, unique fascias, smoked headlights and taillights and, of course, those black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the Journey Crossroad will get a similar treatment, with darker, Liquid Graphite accents throughout the cabin, and the model will also come standard with leather seats (which Dodge says are a new design), and Chrysler's giant 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
The 2014 Journey Crossroad goes on sale this spring with a starting price of $24,995 (*not including $995 for destination) for the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model, but Dodge says that the model will also be offered with more power and capability from the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and all-wheel-drive. Scroll down for the full press release, and check back next week for our live coverage from Chicago.

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
