By 1976 the A body was nearing the end of the production run so to keep buyers interested they came out with a base model of the 2 door hardtop and called it a Scamp Special. Aside from trim and what came standard, there was no difference between the two models (Scamp and Scamp Special). For example, the Scamp came standard with rear ashtrays, roof drip rails, carpeting and cigarette lighter. All those options were ‘extra cost’ but available to be ordered on a Scamp Special.
