1972 Plymouth Scamp Questions

I seem to recall reading the following history somewhere:

Following Plymouth's success with the Duster in 1970, Dodge wanted the tooling to make their own version (Demon). In return, Dodge gave Plymouth tooling for Dart which turned into the 1971 Scamp. Plymouth ended up having much more success selling Scamps than Dodge ever did with the Demon.

Scamps were never "muscle cars" as we know them. The vast majority came with /6's. the largest motor available was the 318.

Personally, since they are not as popular as Darts or Dusters, I think they make a great (ie. cheap) alternative to hot rod and they can be real sleepers. I bought my '71 Scamp three years ago for $200.

There are quite a few Scamp threads in the "restorations" section. check them out to see what others have done.
