I have not had a chance to fix the power steering hose or the wiper switch. I've been way too busy with work and won't get to these until February or March. Yes I have the title and this Scamp is currently registered; I drive it almost everyday and the mileage is up to over 88,000. My plan is to...

Engine compartment photos as requested...

Yes - I still have this Scamp. Still runs great. The windshield wipers stopped working intermittently; I think the switch grounding is the problem. Also, one of the power steering hoses developed a small leak. I should be able to get to these items after the Thanksgiving Holiday. Otherwise the...

I've been driving this car almost every day for the last few months so the mileage is up to 86,000. I need to get on to some other projects so I will take $4,000 if anyone is interested.

Price has been increased to $4,750 - just installed a brand new fuel tank and sending unit - fuel gauge works great now! I will move on to rebuilding the carburetor next month if this doesn't sell. This is now my daily driver and it runs great. Send me a reasonable offer if you're interested. Thanks

Price has been lowered to $4,500! Rust free desert car! Runs great! No leaks! New paint! New tires, brakes and shocks!

I have for sale a 1973 Plymouth Scamp. It is original stock condition except for the vinyl top being removed and painted. New paint job applied last year in the stock Rallye Red color. It has the 225 slant six and an automatic transmission. Everything works except the gas gauge and the the A/C...

Thanks for the responses.

I have a totally stock 1973 Scamp with a 225 slant 6. It has drum brakes on all four wheels. I serviced the front brakes a few months ago and it had 10-inch drums. I looked at the rear drums this evening and it appears to have 9-inch drums in the rear. Is this the standard set up for this car? I...

Thanks for the info. I found this part new at the Layson's Restorations too.

I don't know what a shop would charge. The answer to your question may depend on what tools you currently have. I already had a drill press and a hydraulic press, so it was easy to use a hole saw to cut out the drums. Also the lug studs on my hubs were rusty and new ones were cheap, so I wanted...

I was attempting to install new shock absorbers on the rear axle of my 73 Scamp this evening and despite using PB Penetrating Blaster Spray the stud broke under the pressure of turning the nut. @#%&! Can anyone recommend a parts supplier that might carry a new leaf spring plate? Also, I need...

I had to deal with this very issue on my '73 Scamp this weekend. I used a 5/8" hole saw as Rusty Rat Rod suggested and it worked fine. Thanks!

Hello everyone, After I finished my previous project car last year - a 1983 Porsche 928 (which was an absolute nightmare to work on) I decided to go with something more simple and reliable for my next project. So when a neighbor of mine was selling a '73 Scamp that had been sitting on the...
