From 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."
