Anybody have opinions what made them deserve the Scamp / Swinger badges verses the Valiant / Darts? Any more than badges?
Thats interesting, I guess I'm lucky that I want a daily driver, and can't afford a collector. I didn't think volume wise that the Scamp sold alot compared to the Valiant, likely the guy walking in for a 2 door could be talked into checking the Scamp / Swinger box. What extras did you get with it?
Ahh Grasshopper, but you do have a collectible!!!!.....
Could you get the 340 in a base car Plymouth and Dodge?
Sounds like you could get just about anything you were willing to pay for. My Scamp came with (all factory ) 318 auto, ten inch drums, bench seat, AC, radio, PS PB, 8 3/4 rear no sure grip, vinyl top, standard guages, small wheels with full cover hubcaps. Pretty interesting order, I wish I could see how that happened, did someone order that or did the dealer throw a few goodies at it for a premium?
I found the build sheet under the front seat. LUCKY! But alass it was destroyed crumbling and unreadable from age and spills. Bummer.
in 73 the 340s had less compression in them,not as hp as in the early years due to the government new standards and the gas crunch.also forgot to mention the Demon (LL29) and Demon 340 (LM29) were replaced in 73 with the dart sport (LL29) and Dart sport 340 (LM29) after the southern Baptist interest protested the demon nameplate for obvious reasons. "dart sport" seemed to be a less controversial name but it is in essence the same car.
M88 is a deck molding. I don't believe it's a stripe.Old thread but I have a new question!!! Could the 71 Scamp be ordered with the bumblebee tailstripe? I'm seeing mixed answers about the M88 option that in my books all comes out as a trunk(lid)decor package, whereas a car I'm looking at has the tail stripe and the owner claims that's what the M88 is on the data tag. If there is a tail stripe code, might anyone know it off hand?? Thanks
Wow!!! You got that right! Her emblems are a tad high but her looks make up for it!!!
