    [FOR SALE] 1971 Challenger A93 Pkg

    Car is located in Keller, Texas 76248. Asking price is $18,000 OBO. Interesting A body trades definitely considered. This is an A93 option package car, or 2 door hardtop car, which means the rear windows are fixed and do not roll up or down. The factory started this in 1970, and called it the...

    Scamp has been sold - on it's way to New York state

    Hopefully the new owner will chime in when he gets the car, and I hope he enjoys it as much as I did. Now it's on to work on the Challenger.

    Time to join FEBO too, got a new toy

    Guess it's time to join FEBO too. I've been looking for another car for a little while and had it narrowed down, I thought, to a really nice '68 Satellite. Came across this Challenger though and decided to make an offer. It was accepted on Thursday, and we finalized the paperwork this morning...

    How much initial timing is too much? Running hot on the highway.

    Late model 440, older MP .484 cam. New Champion 26" radiator, 185 thermostat and dual 12" fans on a therm switch (on at 195, off at 180, I believe) Now that's it finally gotten really hot here in Texas (we're in to multiple days over 100, yesterday it was 104), the Scamp is running hot after...

    Electric cooling fan wiring question

    Did a search, but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for, so I'll ask the experts. I'm in the process of adding a new 26" core radiator and dual 12" electric fans to the Scamp. Everything is now mounted and I'm ready to start roughing in the wiring. I'm using one of Jegs dual electric fan...

    [FOR SALE] Champion 22" 4 core aluminum radiator - brand new

    I was chasing an overheating problem with the Scamp and in the process, determined the radiator (original V8 A/C 22' unit) was not big enough to keep up with the 440. I ordered this before finishing the troubleshooting of the problem, and it turned out to be a failing water pump and air in the...

    Took the Scamp to the track for the first time and...

    all I can say is, at least she looked good doing it! Actually, for what she is (low compression 440 with a big cam), she ran right about where I thought she would. After fiddling with the Demon carb (don't get me started), we managed to get her down to mid 13's @ 99. D/A was good for Thompson...

    Would you trade?

    My Scamp, '72, 440, 727, 9", pretty much fully restored/resto modded. Needs, well, nothing really. Show quality paint, redone Legendary interior, a few sets of wheels. It's a great car, very fun to drive. But, and isn't there always a but? I found a '72 340 Duster, numbers matching car...

    Broken field wire = not charging?

    Haven't started the Scamp in a week or two, went to get gas last night. She started right up in the garage, so I headed out, turned the lights on and drove to the station. Filled up, went to start her up and got nothing. All lights came on good and strong though. Got a jump, she fired right up...

    Anyone buy from Moparplus Antique Parts out of Canada

    Finally decided to pull the trigger on the hood scoop for the Scamp. Order from http://www.moparplus.com/ and figured that was that. 8 days later, I've only received confirmation of the order. Card hasn't been charged, which is good. Look at the website and it shows awaiting invoice and has...

    Turn signals out on one side only, all bulbs are good

    Did a quick search and didn't find anything pertaining to my exact issue. Had my first technical issue with the Scamp on todays drive. Turning right and the blinkers stopped blinking. Bulbs all illuminated (front, back and fender indicators) and stayed on, and it self cancelled after I made...

    Downtimes '72 Scamp - the official thread and introduction

    Admittedly, there is not much restoration needed on this one, but I couldn't find a better spot for the thread. We'll call it a progress tracking thread instead. Transport company dropped her off about an hour ago and I couldn't be happier with the car. She looks much better in person than...
