74Dusted
Stock Piler of 340's
About 4 years ago, I sold my '74 Scamp to one of my younger cousins for $200. He wanted a Mopar to fix up for his first car and I had the Scamp sitting around, at the time I thought "Eh, I can live without it, it's not as cool as a Duster or Fastback Cuda."
When I sold it to him, it was missing the radiator and the carb was missing some parts. I tossed in a like-new Slant 6 Radiator, a Super-Six Manifold/Carb/Air Cleaner setup and a set of cheap wheels with 225/60/15" Tires (with about 3/4 tread) to put on the back. All he had to do was some parts swapping/installing and he would have had a running car he could have tinkered with to learn on.
Here she was, the day I sold her to my cousin.... The only thing he did in 4 years was tear the vinyl top off (it was starting to tear and lift anyway)
So, the last time I talked to him, he was thinking about junking it and using the money to put toward parts for a Dakota he had just picked up. I told him I'd buy it back for the price I'd sold it, and he accepted.
Nothing Fancy. She's a '74 Plymouth Scamp. With Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Sway Bar, 8-1/4" with 3.23's and Sure Grip, A/C, Rear Defroster, Light Package, AM/FM Radio, 225 Slant 6 (which it returns to me with the Super-Six setup I sold with the car). It has a couple battle scars on the passenger side (the previous owner before me must have clipped something and it gouged the fender/door/rocker/quarter).
My thoughts are to pull the gouges on the passenger side, respray her in blue (and change the interior over to blue), install a new black vinyl top, install the Super Six setup, go through the brake/fuel system and replace what it might need and use her as a daily driver.
