For sale is a restored 1972 Plymouth Scamp with its original drivetrain.

History: I purchased the Scamp from the original owner about 4 years ago. The Scamp is a California car and the owner parked it in his shed back in 1996 and didn't drive after that. There was no rust on the Scamp and the odemeter read 96k miles, which the owner said hadn't turned over.

Exterior
: The exterior was originally B3 blue with a white vinyl top. Most of the body was taken down to bare metal and sprayed with metal lock primer. There wasn't much dents to take care of and the body is pretty straight. I preferred the B5 blue color, so the Scamp was sprayed with several coats of PPG brand B5 blue. The paint was covered with several coats of PPG brand clear.  I preferred a black engine bay and trunk so that's why they are not painted the same as the exterior. The paint has about 5k miles on it and looks very good but has a few touch up areas since the Scamp is a driver. I have about a 1/3 of a gallon of the PPG B5 blue paint left, so if you wanted to paint the engine bay, trunk or fix the touch up areas you could. All the glass looks good, windows roll up very nicely and the windshield is new. All the chrome, bumpers and grill are original and are in good shape. New weatherstripping and new vinyl top. I have the fender and rocker panel chrome moldings, I prefer how it looks without them. I added the 340 hood scoops, dual black trunk stripes and the Cuda flip gas cap. The metal around the flip gas cap was not altered and you can be put the original gas cap back if you don't like the look of the flip top.

Drivetrain: The original 318 engine has been completely rebuilt with all new components and added a new Edelbrock intake and new Edelbrock 4 barrel carb. The original 904 automatic transmission was also rebuilt. The Scamp got dual Flowmaster exhaust and they sounds great. The rebuilt drivetrain has about 5k miles on it, runs great and you can drive the Scamp anywhere. The Scamp is an A/C car but I didn't hook up the A/C or its components, I didn't like how it looks on the engine. I still have all the A/C stuff if you wanted to hook it up but I don't know if it works or not.

Interior: Most of the interior is new, except for the seats and door panels. The seats and door panels are original and are in great shape with no rips or tears. The interior metal was originally B5 blue and received the same treatment as the exterior. Everything works on the Scamp except for the heater switch. I believe the switch is bad or since I didn't hook up the A/C maybe there something that wasn't hooked up. I really don't need a heater that bad in California, so I just hooked the heater motor to the map light toggle switch. The AM radio is not hooked up but works. There is a CD player mounted underneath the A/C vents with two speakers in the back and one under the dash. I have the original steering wheel.

Wheels: The Scamp has 17" Showwheels Streeters with Falken tires. The wheels have about 5k miles on them. I also have the original steel wheels, hubcaps and they have new tires on them.

On the last several pictures, you can see the decoded fender tag and the Scamp taken completely apart.

The Scamp has a clean California title and has it's original California blue license plates.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]

Thu, 03 Jul 2014



A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
