Vehicle Description
Introduced as a sporty variant of the hardy compact Valiant, the
Plymouth Scamp is renowned for being an entry-level muscle car. A
car that could be had with lots of performance for a small amount
of money compared to its competitors, the Scamp represented (and
still represents) a fantastic value for the muscle car enthusiast.
This particular 1972 Plymouth Scamp is in fantastic shape, with
only 51,430 miles on the odometer! In addition to that low milage,
this '72 Scamp comes with a gorgeous interior and plenty of
original equipment. Popping open the hood reveals a correct 318
C.I. V8 breathing easy through a 2-barrel carburetor, this '72
Plymouth is as factory-correct as they come. Torque is put to the
pavement through a numbers-matching "A-904" 3-speed automatic
transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly as this Plymouth
glides down the road. The exterior's attractive bodylines are
laser-straight, with an excellent fit and finish. The car's
correctness extends to the exterior's paint, which is the factory
shade of "Amber Sherwood Green" and looks absolutely fantastic
paired up with the car's rear black beltline stripe and black vinyl
top. The car's undercarriage is very solid, with strong floors,
frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. Opening the twin doors and
stepping inside reveals the true highlight of this car, a
positively stunning two-tone dark green / green trimmed interior.
Those colors are spread across comfy bench seats front and rear,
with a beautiful checkered pattern and green piping that help to
make this Plymouth stand out from the rest. Other options on this
sweet '72 Scamp include power steering, factory A/C (not currently
hooked up), factory gauges, an original AM pushbutton radio, an
aftermarket under-dash JVC AM/FM/Aux stereo unit, hood-mounted turn
signals, vent windows, a driver's-side remote mirror, vent windows,
and a nice-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sporty
set of 14" Mopar rally wheels wrapped with Stinger Radial G/S RWL
tires for a factory-fresh look that's sure to turn heads! The car
starts right up the moment you turn the key, running and driving on
the freeway phenomenally. 51 years after it was built, this 1972
Plymouth Scamp still is a fantastic muscle car value, so don't let
it pass you by!
