    It always amazes me how you can turn cars around that most people wouldn't even know where to begin with. Looking forward to seeing this one run and drive again.

      I think that's exactly what happened. I forgot about the Google maps picture I was gonna put in, but the car sat in the same place since at least 2007. At that time there was a pine tree just to the right of it. A few years later the tree was chopped down. That car narrowly missed being crushed I would guess.

      @@TylersNeighborhoodGarage That car is in a state that is worth almost nothing and that is why it isn't selling. To be worth much, it either has to go pretty good or be parted out, there are too many 3/4 complete old cars out there to expect much for them. It either has to be 95%, and driving, or it has to be parted out.

    I looked at one of these 20 years ago in mint condition. It was white with a blue top and interior with the slant six. They wanted $6,900 back then. These days, that's a reasonable price, I wish I could have bought it. I was driving a '78 Malibu coupe at the time that was slow as molasses with it's 3.3 V6.

    Tyler, I’ve found a treasure trove of parts, check into Vick’s classic used auto parts in Chesnee SC. You’ll find your quarter panels and fenders there. You’re a ways away in Alabama but if you’re ever near upstate SC they’ve got pretty much anything you can imagine

    • @TylersNeighborhoodGarage
      @TylersNeighborhoodGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Zane. I can fix rust but I don't enjoy it. I would rather work on nice solid metal. It was an attractive car when new, but there were probably many clones of it running around the US because it was a sales bank car. That means that Chrysler built it to help keep production up and people working, then parked it in a lot until the Regional sales manager managed to sell it to a dealer. So, they built them with a "pre-loaded" set of options.
      You should fix one of these up for a daily driver, I bet you would really enjoy it.

    Hi Tyler, only just found your channel as I've only just bought a 73 Scamp here in the UK. It's a 225 with a/c, pas and disc front end. As it's hard to find info here in England, I have been wondering what was stuck to the underside only my trunk lid - seeing yours it looks to be jacking instructions, is that correct?
    Really knowledgable info from you too, found out a lot more Scamp details thanks to you. 👍😎👍

    Beware before you put alot of MONEY in it that the salvage yard didn't turn the title vin in to the state! You will Never be able to get it registered for street use! About 15 years ago my brother bought a 1968 Plymouth barracuda for $750 dollars and he said it was a steal of a deal, this one had the engine and all, was a complete car, but needed a full re-build and took him 2 years and $10,000 dollars and did probably 80% of the work himself! Labor of love, it looked great when he was done, 1968 barracuda notchback coupe 318-230hp automatic transmission power steering and front disc brakes, radio and factory A/C converted to R134-A, gloss mint green with black accent stripes on the lower door sides - factory style, plus nice low back black bucket vinyl, 14" rallye wheels, he added old school duals with 1970s style oval hush thrush mufflers.. he went to get it registered for street use and they told him the title vin had been turned over and written off, he kept saying I have the title and they kept telling him it doesn't matter! The title is worthless when it's turned in as JUNK by the salvage yard, good for parts only! So in other words he still has in his garage a classic car as worthless as tits on a bull to him....

      Thanks for the heads-up. Alabama stops titling vehicles that are over 30 years old, so it's not an issue if I lived there, which I don't. The state I live in titles everything but there is a way to do an affidavit of ownership and get a title.
