Hemmings: Plymouth fans looking for inexpensive transportation in
1972 had ample choices in the Valiant lineup, including a pair of
two-door Dusters, a four-door sedan and a two-door hardtop sold
under the Scamp nameplate. Essentially a badge-engineered Dodge
Dart Swinger, the Plymouth Scamp offered an ala carte menu of
engine options, ranging from the standard 198-cu.in. six to the 318
V-8... HotCars.com gives this rundown on the Scamp's too-short
history: Unfortunately, the Plymouth Scamp did not have a very
long-lasting run and was only sold from 1971 to 1976. Although the
Scamp was a variant of the Valiant throughout its life, it was
known among enthusiasts as its own line of cars, and it was treated
as a sporty, luxury alternative to the economical Valiant.
Unfortunately, the Scamp and the Valiant bit the dust in 1976. With
the 1973 American Oil Crisis fresh in the minds of consumers
everywhere, the Scamp just wasn't fuel-efficient enough for
comfort, and sales of all Plymouths started to stagnate. Offered
here is a well-maintained 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp in
outstanding survivor condition. Showing just 17,583 original miles
on its odometer, the car has traveled fewer than 400 miles per-year
on average since new. With its ownership history known and
documented, correct Slant-Six powerplant, period-correct, modest
upgrades, extremely low mileage, and overall exceptional condition,
this MOPAR-survivor is a rare offering. The white exterior paint
shows extremely well: smooth finish, excellent gloss, and no
damage. The lime-green, bodyside, double pinstripe is an added and
appealing touch cueing the interior color theme. The dark-green
vinyl top is in perfect condition and nicely highlights the roof's
concave rear glass. (To best assess the quality of the paint and
trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car
in the accompanying gallery.) There is no damage to any sheet
metal. Limited chrome trim has been well-maintained and shows
virtually no patina from age. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are
clear and undamaged. Factory badging-including the front Plymouth
badge, Valiant emblem and Scamp decal on the front fenders, and
Plymouth trunk-lid badge-is all correctly in place. Date-coded
alloy wheels with chrome trim rings are mounted with BFGoodrich®
Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires. The interior two-tone green
color theme has been beautifully maintained. Door panels included
green-painted metal, green vinyl, and woodgrain trim in a
horizontal design (jimmy-free door-lock pins have been added). The
split-bench front seat and rear bench are upholstered in vertically
pleated lighter green vinyl with darker green vinyl trim free of
any damage or even wear indications. Green carpeting in very good
condition covers the floor. The 3-spoke, green steering wheel (with
a matching leather rim cover) features a Plymouth-logo center cap
and frames standard instrumentation: a square 120-mph speedometer
and four smaller circular monitoring gauges mounted on a woodgrain
dash panel. The shift lever for the automatic transmission is
mounted on the steering column, and the car is equipped with power
steering and power brakes. The green padded dash is free of cracks,
and its woodgrain trim ex
