The Scamp was a Valiant. The Valiant was never intended to be a performance car. It wouldda been cool, though.

'71 Scamp
The Scamp was not just a Valiant, it was a 2 dr. hybrid of Valiant & Dart. Either way though, it was not considered a performance car.

'71 Scamp
Why settle for a 340 Scamp when you can have a 440 Scamp? hmm...

They couldn't make enough 340s to go around if they put them in everything. A lot of guys (like me) opted for 318s when they heard the insurance bill for a 340.

The Scamp was introduced in 1971. The performance A Bodies that got the 340s in 71 were the Duster 340 and Demon 340. People will argue that there were 71 340 Swingers, but that is the exception, not the rule.

I thought that the 340 Demon took the place of the Swinger for 1971?
