Do I have a Valiant or scamp

-
Did they make a base model 2 door Scamp? What would be the upgrades?
 
Also the Swinger is a model, not a trim package.
A model is designated by the first four of the vin number.
A trim package is designated by a option code.
For 1970
LL23 Dart Swinger
LM23 Dart Swinger 340
LH23 Dart Custom.
There is an A14 Dart Swinger Sales Package that be optioned on an LM car that added a vinyl top and more trim to the Swinger model.

Ok, I'll go along with that. So that makes the Scamp a model too, right?
 
For 1971 that changed
LL23 Dart Swinger
LL29 Dart Demon
LM29 Dart Demon 340
All Customs are now 4-doors.
 
Interesting, I has seen a lot of two door 71-76 Scamps but never a 2 door Valiant of those years.

What I meant was the 67-69 body style was no longer available as a 2 door, Duster than Scamp took over 2 door duties nether uses the valiant tail end like the 4 doors still does until they use dart bodies for both.
 
For the OP this is what you car would have had on the fenders.

VH23 is the key. What do we have 3 Valiant models in 72? The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1972 Plymouth Ordering Information - Valiant / Scamp / Duster Coding Guides

Study up. There will be a test at the end of class. :lol:

No the picture I posted was from my car I bought from the original owner. It had never been painted before I bought it.

Yeah I knew some had decals and some emblems. I couldn't remember which. I had a 73 and it had emblems.

But in the case of the Super Bee it's also in the VIN.
