I'm new, but the car is old.
Hello Everybody,
I picked up a 1971 Plymouth Valiant Scamp (Plymouth version of the Dart Swinger) late 2009. It's original with only 50k on the odometer.
Well maybe not completely original, the original owner gave it to her grandson after her husband passed away. He swapped the intake and carb with an edlebrock setup, new valve covers, and mild cam. He put the rally rims on it and was going to use it for a winter vehicle so he wouldn't have to drive his Daytona (what a dipshit). Well, one of his buddies who was a gearhead or mopar fan convinced him otherwise. So he sold it for $3500.
The guy who bought it put 340 hoodscoops, new rear shocks and a measly 5,000 miles on it. He also picked up a set of duster front brakes to do a disc conversion. He had it for 10 years and decided he wanted a Hemi Durango, so he sold it to me for $4500. :toothy7:
Now, I'm debating between keeping it original and touching up the small amount of rust or having the entire body repainted. I have the original build sheet, and tons of extra goodies too. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
