alsancle Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The slant six would keep running long after the body of the car head rotted into the ground on these. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 And it’s green, 90% of those made must have been green. Sure was a popular color back then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry, everything was green back in the mid 70’s. Mrs P. and I got married in the mid 70’s, refrigerator, stove, blender, crock pot, electric knife…all avocado green. I even had an avocado green Plymouth Volare! BTW, there is a popular small camper made in Minnesota called Scamp. I had one for 14 years, always wanted to pull it with a Plymouth Scamp😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintage1 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 My dad had a 4 door valiant in that same color and a year later he got a Satellite in the same color combo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha was just thinking, the slant 6 is the Keith Richards of engines. We just better be sure some gas remains for it after every other engine is long gone... On the car itself great call out. Took a 68 - 69 Roadrunner off my shortlist a long time ago, not for lack of interest but insane prices. Far cry from that but ad is right, decent looking 2 door ht in great shape for small money. Should sell fast. Edited June 9, 2023 by Steve_Mack_CT (see edit history) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Really like the body style. Bullet-proof drivetrain. I had a '72 Valiant sedan, which was a good car, but I always wished I'd waited for a nice one of these. Good-looking car at a fair price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 My son was at a local (for him) cars & coffee this past Sunday and sent me these pics of a 1969 Dodge he saw there. This shade of green I really like! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 What kind of gas mileage would a person get in a 73 Scamp? I have never even driven a car with a slant six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) At least 20. This one gets a bit better as it's a three on the tree. Haven't had it long but am considering selling as I found something else that I want. Edited June 9, 2023 by JACK M (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Didn’t you just go on a road trip and drive that back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Yes, Its a good runner for sure and something I looked for for a long time. Butttt, I really want a convertible. And recently found one I may just buy. It might mean offering up my 4 speed 300 as well. But that would not be an entry priced car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 You buy the beer and pizza, I will bring the saws all, and the angle grinder. And you will have a convertible in under 10 minutes.🫣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I built a 59 Chevrolet pickup for a customer. The hood would lift straight up in the air. With the touch of a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them went across eBay a couple of years ago that was a 4 speed convertible that I lusted after. But ii was eBay priced.

JamesR Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I love the Scamp! I'm talking about the car, but I like the trailer, too. I'm a fan of that color. I think green was popular because it made you think of a forest, and everyone was about getting back to nature in the early 1970's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 My grandparents had virtually the same car, a '75 Valiant (blue) with the 225. They traded it in on a Volare' with the 318 V8. My grandfather put nearly 300K miles on that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
