Lookin at a '72 Scamp.. Owner replaced factory tranny with a 732 and added 8 3/4 suspension w/ new air shocks, has the stock 318 V8-2brl carb, a new windshield, and hey a new CD player just for kicks! Interior has all been re carpeted along with the trunk, paint was professionally done 10 years ago, not a spot of rust anywhere on the body. Frame is in excellent shape, no rust on the frame or wheelwells except a small spot where the fender meets the wheelwell and is bent back.. Not visible and could easily be eradicated with a wirebrush. New Michelin tires... exhaust is gonna need replaced soon... Some cracks in vinyl on rear seat.. I couldn't drive it because the plates are expired but I fired it up and it ran perfectly, it can still burn rubber haha. Owner mentioned some minor carb problems but claims to have just rebuilt the carb and cleaned out the fuel system. He said there's no slippage with the new tranny. Asking price is $3200. What yall think?
Secondly, if/when I do buy this vehicle... My dream is to make it a project... I'm not a mechanic by trade but i'm tryin to learn, I have a lotta friends with tools that'd help me! I'd LOVE to drop a 360 V8 (possibly Bouchillard Engineering?) into it, hook up a 727 tranny, get front discs... but does anyone out there have ideas for me? Advice/thoughts/warnings are MUCh appreciated!
Thanks all in advance!
