So I have had the option of picking up a 76 Plymouth Scamp. I am making this post not to just say that, but to get some feedback! I am having a hard time finding much on this year of car except that it was the last and didn't differ much from the 75 and in 74 it the wheel base was changed and it became basically a re badged dart the only differences being minor cosmetics. (just the info I am gathering through research). With all this info I still can't seem to find a market for parts and don't see it as a cornerstone of Mopar restorations, was i a bad year? bad model all together? Not early enough? I can't decide if the car is worth it. IT is priced at 750$ and needs re-timed, carb cleaned, and wiring harness redone (has new harness).
My other option is a 74 Dart swinger. Runs, tho it needs some work. Both bodies look pretty good but both will need some work and minor to intermediate rust repair. The Dart is 2000$
I can't decide which is a better buy or an easier project to find parts for. I'd love to hear some feedback and opinions on both cars from the knowledgeable Mopar family here.
Thanks!
