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 lives true to that performance
mantra, a truly mean car with a high-powered V8 and a fantastic
stance. Sitting inside this Plymouth's engine bay is a Mopar 360
C.I. V8 equipped with an Edelbrock high-rise intake manifold and a
Weber 4-barrel carburetor, a mill that lets out a guttural growl at
every push of the throttle. Torque is put to the pavement through
an A-727 "Torqueflite" 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts
smoothly and responsively whenever the driver needs to go faster.
The exterior's eye-catching bodylines are very straight, with good
fit and finish to match. Those same bodylines are covered in
stunning bright blue paint, which has been buffed to a brilliant
shine. Complimenting black accents abound, with a rear beltline
stripe adding to the car's sporty aesthetic and a massive,
functional hood scoop out front to force air into that massive 360
C.I. V8. The car's undercarriage is very solid, with strong floors,
frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. Pushing in the doorhandle and
stepping inside reveals good-looking black vinyl trim adorning the
interior as well as woodgrain accenting, the black vinyl covering
comfy patterned bench seats that are perfect for cruising. Other
options on this mean '72 Plymouth include power steering, factory
gauges, an aftermarket Autometer tachometer, a Grant GT steering
wheel, tinted windows, a Hurst shifter, the original owner's manual
and paperwork, an original AM pushbutton radio, a driver's-side
remote chrome mirror, vent windows, and an aggressive-sounding dual
exhaust system. The car rides on a striking set of 14" "Racer"
chrome wheels wrapped with RWL tires for a muscular, intimidating
look! Every time you turn the key, you're in for a thrill as this
'72 Scamp rockets off the line. It's a thrill you aren't going to
want to miss, so don't let it pass you by! This 1972 Plymouth Scamp
is only a call away from being in your garage.
