1973 Plymouth Scamp Valiant V8

  True hardtop Scamp. Just rolled 56. 00 miles. Garaged since new. I have original bill of sale. owners manual and sales brochure. This is a stripper model with only option being dealer installed full hubcaps. body side moulding and radio. I have owned this car for one year and have put 125 miles on it. My original intent was to retromod it. Luckily in this poor economy my business is still extremely busy. With very little free time to work on Scamp I recently purchased an SRT8 Challenger to get my fix. The Scamp has been back burnered too long. Time for a new home where someone can drive it. Runs well after warm-up. Seems to need a choke adjustment or choke thermostat. I bought this from the original family that bought it new. See photos of rust bubbles starting on rear quarter panels. Drivers side rear quarter has light parking lot damage. The previous owner replaced shocks and front brakes recently including calipers and three brake hoses. AM radio works as does its one dash speaker. Included in the auction is a set of  period correct 15x7 Western aluminum slotted wheels. two center caps and lug nuts. Tires shown on mags in photos are junk tires I mounted just for photos. The mags will be in the trunk and the 14" steel wheels with hubcaps will be installed for pick-up. "Buy-it-Now" gets you the following: full set of poverty caps (dog dish). A pair of OE Mopar battery cables. A new OE Mopar Speedo cable. Factory Service manuals (engine and chassis) still in the wrapper. A pair of XV Motorsports three point front seat belts (new). Four new OE marker lamps (front and rear 2 each). A matching good used RH mirror to match the LH mirror and a pair of new front caliper brackets that allow Cordoba 12" rotors to be installed and a NOS trunk light kit. Gauge lamps do not work but I never looked into it. Water pump started weeping at some point recently. I have a new NAPA pump that comes with the car. I can install it if you wish. Can include it if you plan a camshaft change and/or prefer to tinker yourself. Overall the car is very solid with no floor rust at all. Torsion bar mounts are perfect as are rear spring mounts. Inner fenders are rust free also. No rust in lower front fenders or doors. Paint is original. Car never had a vinyl roof. Trunk mat is torn. nbsp;and it appears to have one of the original tires as a spare. Bumper jack is complete.  Front seat bottom seams are splitting. Rear seat appears in new condition. Headrests are still gold (have seen many that get dark stains from sun).

   It took many years to find a nice body like this in original non-repainted condition. I think I'm too spoiled by driving newer cars the last ten years. I own a foreign car garage for the last 18 years. am a avid collector with 19 cars currently owned (Challenger is only Mopar). I can give honest answers to any questions you may have. Also have lots of photos taken recently of common trouble areas if needed to prove the cars integrity. I require 10% deposit by Paypal with 24 hours of auction end with the balance payable upon pick-up. I am more than happy to help with transport companies if long distance sale. Delivery possible with my open trailer in New England for a fee which must be discussed and agreed upon with both parties (my Hemi Ram is thirsty).
