I had a Plymouth 'Scamp' a '73 (I think?) it was brown, and had the 'canopy' top, a sort of peanut butter color! I thought the 'Scamps' (just a first cousin to the Dodge Dart 'Swinger') all had bigger engines, but mine was a slant six car. I gave it to a friend, and she drove it for about 5 years.
If it had been a Western Mass. Sport Special it would just be a pile of rust by now. I had a '69 Swinger with 170 slant six and 3-on-the-tree in the late 70s that I bought for $495. Not exactly a chick magnet; I should've had a Celica or similar, but I loved it. Same seats - they were in bad shape when I got the car in '76. Steering wheel was already cracked then - had a wrapper similar to this specimen.
That's pretty, nice survivor!!! Preserve it just as it is as much you can. I notice, and I could be wrong, but the three pointed Dodge emblems on the sides of the roof look upside down to me. Do you know if the vinyl roof was redone at some point, or mistake from the factory? BTW, you did not have to mention, or see the license plate to know you are from Maine, lol. Did I say license plate, or "numbaa plate", I am originally from Mass, so it sounds like home to me, thanks for the vid.
gorgeous...they didn't scrimp on style even on the compacts. Not sure what all came with the western sport special package. Not sure Californians would know what a Dahdge Daht would be either...must be the export version of the Dodge Dart
Interesting car but you keep saying all original car and yet it has been repainted and the motor rebuilt, and the top possibly replaced, and the carpet and armrest replaced and not even dyed to the correct color. And the A/C no longer functions, so it is not an "all original " car it is mostly original in appearance but not a survivor.
