Took my drivers license road test in the Scamp!

Looks pretty clean in there after 49.5 years!!

It shows the majority of that shop’s customers don’t care at all about date codes. And if that’s the case, then he doesn’t need to waste his time spending 10 minutes with you when he can process a few other clients within those 10 minutes with sales. Interesting thing is every tire manufacture...

While the size selection is always better online (compared to a bricks and mortar store) you’ll be hard pressed to get the tire date code prior to the online tire purchase showing up at your door. Sure you might get the size you’re looking for delivered to your door but it could already be a 2...

As many others have said here, the beaker cars are not sought after cars. Lots of Pintos were made back in the day but not many are around now. Why do you think there are more 70 Demon’s listed at auctions/for sale posts than 73-76 Dart Sports? More Dart Sports were produced than Demons...

Nice fish!! Is that turbine bronze (MM1)? Regardless, awesome colour!

You are likely looking from one from a 70 to 74 Dart/Duster/Demon/Valiant. By 75 the Nixon administration mandated 100mph (or less) speedometers to minimize fuel consumption.

Wow, a smaller cover on the slightly larger cover. How much time is one going to spend trying to line the TC drain plug at the exact 6 o’clock position compared to taking off the larger cover and being ‘close enough’ to the 6 o’clock position?

Parts book

The U means it was built to USA specifications (emissions, safety, etc). The car might have been built in Canada but was made to USA requirements since it was to be sold in the USA. Much like a lot of Chryslers that were built in the USA plants but made to Canadian standards. Those would say C.

Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind

The buyer almost certainly need to add in the cost of tearing it down/rebuilding it if it’s been sitting for decades.

Is this a trick question? If you know it’s not 70 or 71 why not ask if it was 72 or 73? Seems like a fishing expedition.

If you go with large bolt pattern wheels up front you will also want to change to large bolt pattern on the rear. If not, you gotta ask yourself “is my spare in the trunk gonna be a large bolt pattern or small bolt pattern rim?”

It’s difficult to read but is your Dart Sport a 360? Not a common engine that year….

The newest one will still be 16 years old. Would it be as a daily driver? You have a particular one in mind already? High mileage? SRT version?

Based on a parts for sale thread put up today, the 100mph Speedo was available as early as the 72 model year. So both a 100mph and 120mph were offered until 75 at which point it was only 100mph.

Cluster #1 is a 1976 model year since it’s black instead of a woodgrain bezel. Cluster #2 is from 1972 to 1974. The one idiot light started sometime through the 1972 model year and in 1975 a second idiot light was added.

I’ve got a 75 Scamp and it has a 100mph speedo. The 1975 parts book doesn’t list a 100 or a 120mph speedo so for sure by 75 it was only 100mph. Likely had something to do with Nixon signing a bill in 74 to help reduce fuel consumption? Question now is if 100mph speedos were available before...

Looks like a few have already posted pictures. The air cleaner in post #13 looks like a twin to the air cleaner my 75 318 came with.

It doesn’t matter what the dealership knows about the value of the car. They are going to sell it for the highest price possible. If some sucker comes in there and offers $70k or $75k for it, they are likely to say sold! Doesn’t matter if it’s only worth $35k. As long as an uninformed person...

Thanks for the eyes on it report! Sadly someone is going to be fleeced for something near $80k…..

Sadly some sucker, who isn’t knowledgeable on B bodies or older cars in general, is going to shake out something close to $80k and buy that Charger. There’s a reason why/how dealerships (and even some private sales) have a high asking price on not so common vehicles.

I’m not aware of 2bbl dual snorkel air cleaners existing but then you can fill a warehouse full of stuff I don’t know. Check out this website for more info: Nick's Garage - Air Cleaner Identification Perhaps your 318 has been upgraded to a 4bbl already? The opening at the base of the air...

I can’t provide insight to the problem but I gotta commend you on posting clear photos in a tight spot; well done!
