I've had a great time getting this car running and back on the road since last summer, but I'd like to move onto something else now.
This thread captures most of the journey:

1974 Plymouth Scamp is fairly straight and clean, runs like a sewing machine and drives great. A previous owner reportedly rebuilt the engine, and the horoscope confirms pistons are .030 over. The automatic transmission was rebuilt last year to fix leaks. New radiator, new fuel tank, new carpet, sound deadener, new tires. GM HEI ignition, headlight relays and hidden kill switch. Most of the wiring has been gone through. The gauges even kind of work. I added a bluetooth stereo and dash speaker. I have most of the windshield and rear window trim on hand. Wipers removed, but come with the car, including a rebuilt wiper motor. Factory AC car, but no compressor. It's a fun cruiser, or could be a platform for more power. It's been a fun project, but I'm ready to move on.
ODO shows just over 90k miles, but I disconnected the speedometer cable about a 1000 miles ago. The speedometer started to jump all over the place and make a terrible screeching sound. After inspecting, internal parts of the speedometer seem to be loosening up and I choose not to dig in further.
Every light on the car works with one exception. I believe the right turn signal indicator on the dash is loose. I replaced them all with LED and that one recently stopped working. Turn signal switch is new, and all turn signals, hazards, headlights, dome, and even the trunk light work.
