The late 60s and early 70s were when the American automotive scene was at an all-time high, and it was only standard that certain machines were overlooked with the sight and sound of Marketing strategies and roaring V8s. Present today is a forgotten hero of the 70s and comes in the form of this lovely 1971 Plymouth Scamp we have today. This uber-cool 70s powerhouse sports a custom design and uprated performance and is built to turn heads and ignite convos at your local car meet.
Exterior and Interior
In terms of design, the Plymouth Scamp can trade blows with the likes of the legendary Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Its iconic styling is truly brought to life with this 1971 Plymouth Scamp sporting a unique Olive green exterior with black accents and is geared to stand out from the crowd. In terms of shoes, this forgotten American legend sits on a set of Ridler wheels that are finished off in black to match the car's exterior and wrapped with fresh rubber for added grip. The lovely cream interior of this 1971 Plymouth Scamp trades a surplus of nickel for wood trim; a look around the interior cabin, and you will find wood trim present throughout to provide a sense of luxury and class right before you rocket off your local drag strip. The leather and wood also share space with custom modifications, which include an uber-cool pistol grip shifter.
Engine
We mentioned before that this 1971 Plymouth Scamp sees uprated performance, pop open the hood, and what you will find is a fire-breathing 340ci V8 powerhouse waiting to let loose. The current owner reports that the 340ci V8 present is an engine swap and dons a host of performance modifications to turn things up a notch. In place is a custom Edelbrock exhaust, headers, Holley fuel injection, fresh battery, and electronic ignition to get rid of electrical gremlins. All this upgraded performance is channeled to the rear wheels of this classic American muscle through a 4-speed manual transmission that is also reported to be swapped in to keep up with the upgraded performance.
Closely associated with the Valiant, the Scamp was popular and remains a desirable vehicle, renowned for its looks and affordable power. Originally featuring either a 225 Slant-Six or 318 V8, this particular 1971 Plymouth Scamp comes with a 340ci engine swapped within; the current owner reports the swapped engine has only 2,500 miles to its name, although the car reportedly has 27,000 miles on the clock. With a number of performance enhancements as well as some upgrades on the visuals, this particular 1971 Scamp looks fresh, despite its age or name. Because the car was only in production for a short run, and the aesthetic of the vehicle itself, the Scamp has become a highly desirable vehicle, and now you have the chance to be a proud owner of a car that is better than ever before.
A much sought-after vehicle these days is the Plymouth Valiant. This vehicle whose price is ever increasing on a daily basis is a must have car for classic American automotive enthusiasts and collectors. Initially produced as the Valiant by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in 1960. It was Chrysler’s first and most successful compact car. The Valiant was known over half of the world with sales in all continents (except Antarctica, of course). What made the Plymouth Valiant so popular was its stupendous durability and reliability. It was one of Chryslers best selling vehicle in the 60’s and 70’s. Road & Track magazine has referred to the car to be “one of the best all-around domestic cars”. This is a 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp with just 90,000 miles on the clock, coming from Alabama.
In the late fifties, Plymouth wished to enter the compact car market which, in the US, was still a relatively niche market. It debuted the Plymouth Valiant in 1960 to target this market. The Valiant model range comprised a four-door sedan and wagon, and a two-door sedan and hardtop. After three model years, the second-generation debuted in 1963 and introduced a convertible to the mix, as well as the range-topping Signet trim, which included a vinyl-covered roof. The Valiant was popular in the US and Canada, as well as select overseas markets, and even ran a factory team of two-door sedans at the 1965 SCCA Manufacturers’ Rally Championship. Here, we have a 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible that has undergone a full restoration and rebuild six years ago, with a scant 200 miles since then. Hocanson Speed and Power are reported to have done the rebuild, and this car hails from New York. It’s a numbers-matching car, and the Valiant is now gaining status as a desirable car, as well as collector’s item so this would be a prudent buy for the discerning collector.
The Plymouth Fury established itself as a popular choice among American law enforcement agencies during the 1960s, thanks to its durable construction, spacious cabin, and dependable V8 power. This 1966 Plymouth Fury II Four-Door Sedan captures that era with its distinctive Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) styling, traditional Black and White exterior, and an impressive collection of vintage police equipment. Showing just 10,630 miles, this example features a 318ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission and a Turquoise interior. Highlights include a roof-mounted emergency beacon, LAPD-style insignias, Motorola Motrac radio equipment, and a Federal Interceptor siren controller. Combining classic Mopar engineering with the unmistakable character of a 1960s police cruiser, this Fury II offers a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage American automobiles.
This 1970 Plymouth ’Cuda 340 Hardtop is exactly the kind of E-body enthusiasts gravitate toward: a real 340 car, 3-speed manual, Hemi Orange paint, black side graphics, and the unmistakable stance of an early ’Cuda. Showing 45,717 miles, it has the right combination of muscle-car attitude and mechanical simplicity, with the current owner reporting that the car still wears its original paint. The dual hood scoops, hood pins, American Racing 5-spoke wheels, BFGoodrich Radial T/As, and black “340” stripe all reinforce the period street-machine look without taking away from the car’s identity. For a Mopar fan, the 340/3-speed combination is the real draw here.
If there is one car that captures the sheer excess of the muscle-car era, it is the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. Built for NASCAR homologation, its outrageous nose cone and sky-high rear wing were born from competition, but today they make the Superbird one of the most instantly recognizable American performance cars ever built. This Lemon Twist example shows approximately 35,923 miles and carries the combination enthusiasts want to see: a 440ci Six-Barrel V8, 4-speed manual transmission, Air Grabber hood, black vinyl top, black bucket-seat interior, and Rallye wheels. It is loud in appearance, serious in specification, and exactly the kind of winged Mopar that became a legend long after its brief one-year production run.
