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 -- Dang. If anything, that's just more evidence that a one-owner car, as you mentioned, doesn't necessarily mean much. Seller: "Oh, we've had this car for years! I love this car so much!" Buyer: "Then why did you drop a *_tree_* on it?" lol Ah well. It's in good hands now.
@@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.
I liked the video. I learned quite a bit. My wife and I bought a Blue 72 Scamp last year. It has the same blue interior and factory air. 318 and a 904 transmission. I am porting the heads and overhauling it right now. Hope to be driving it soon. Keep up the good work.
Pretty cool score. ! My 2nd car was a 50,000 mile original black plate CA car from my Uncle 1973 Plymouth Scamp. Beige with Tan interior. Dark brown vinyl top. Wish I still had it. Thumbs Up !!!!
Nice score. Good on you for saving another classic Mopar. You are exactly right (and I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it i the video) that it looks fairly rust free. That will definitely be a nice future project.
Very nice find Tyler! Now I know why you are honing your welding skills....you will have/ you do have a very nice fleet. I'd love to find a 4dr Dart like your '69.....I think it is the perfect daily commuter.
Great car would love to see you replace the passenger quarter panel....... I did two quarters on my 72 dart last fall...... But they weren't hit ass hard as that passenger side on yours. So it really easy to do.
That scamp is sweet I like it. I would love to find one of those for myself anyway that car is solid the driver side in solid and the passenger side needs a little metal work no big deal and it being a 2 door makes it even sweeter
That Scamp is Solid. My friend built a killer Scamp with a 383 Magnum. Nice and stock with manifolds, and added Air Grabber. It's Sassy Grass with white stripes and interior on Pinterest.
Up here in Canada it is incredibly rare to see an old car with a/c. It seems like every darn old car in the states has a/c. That reason alone would keep ANY car out of the bone yard up here
Most old cars in the North didn't have A/C. Southern and Southwest cars were more apt to have it. I had quite a few old cars built up to '85 that were hot as Hell in the summer months.
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
Just subbed! 🙂👍 that car like you said is nice and solid! Putting a quarter panel on it is nothing compared to fixing rust. I imagine that car looked beautiful when it rolled off the line!
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.
@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage thanks :) that's some cool info. I would like to run across one but people have them priced pretty high in my neck if the woods. Maybe one day 🙂👍
Yea all these clowns dont see the value of something just in parts. I got that junk attitude when I was selling some bicycles. drill a hole in the crushed QR. Some washers. Hook it up to the C20 and yank 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. 👍😎👍
My 3rd car and one I dream of getting back 71 Plymouth scamp $1,200 in 74 with 50,000, kinda stripped compared to yours. Manual steering, Manuel breaks 4 drum, NO A/C no fancy lights on fenders. 3 speed on the floor, 2 door. Two trips VA to TX. Tons trips VA to NJ plus daily driving. 125,000 (25,000 on OD) when I sold it it 78 for $900 Evert time I needed parts bought 70 dodge dart parts cheaper. anyway make it look good again
You missed your chance Tyler, could have zoomed in and out a bunch of times and put music over it that goes "wub wub wub wuuub", only stopping to beg for e donations and hawk terrible phone app games lol but I guess this is acceptable too haha
$25 dollars 😕 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.
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 had no idea the Scamp was so different. This can make a really great car.
That back end looks like a tree fell on it. Looks like a lot of work, but she's got potential!

Fess up you bought it for the those amazing hubcaps! 😂.
One year only!
@@Xyleksoll That's right.
I prefer those over the later hubcaps. The Scamp I looked at 20 years ago had those.

You're catching up with Uncle Tony's Garage!
Great video that Plymouth will really nice when you're done with it.
You've got the old car bug. They say there is no cure.
In Australia, the Dodge Dart is a Valiant Regal.
My cousin has one - Alpine white with a black vinyl roof.
It's a 1970 model with a 318. Great car.
Wow that thing really is rust free. Nice save!
Dang it's solid
Uncle Tony's Garage would be proud
Pretty cool score. ! My 2nd car was a 50,000 mile original black plate CA car from my Uncle 1973 Plymouth Scamp. Beige with Tan interior. Dark brown vinyl top. Wish I still had it. Thumbs Up !!!!
This will turn out to be really cool!

Great save Tyler, another sweetass Mopar that will see the road again one day.
you have an awesome fleet man

I have learned the hard way that a complete car is essential. Finding missing parts is expense these days. Lucklily I already have a drivetrain.
I have a 1975 scamp original 83,456 miles slant 6.its been re painted but sure is a smooth ride for years to come
Very nice, keep them rolling.
That Scamp is Solid. My friend built a killer Scamp with a 383 Magnum. Nice and stock with manifolds, and added Air Grabber. It's Sassy Grass with white stripes and interior on Pinterest.
Nice. I looked for one that was affordable for a long time.
@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage Great builder.
I'm glad you saved it!
Got my license in a scamp just like the 45 years ago!!

How did the carpet/seat work out in the chevy?
Good score on the car, looks solid, and wise to use the motor/trans you already have on hand.
Video coming up.
I have a complete 225 /904 came out of my 66 dart I up graded to V8/4spd also have rearend complete exhaust motor is 1971
Great channel and have been following these posts for years! How is Uncle Phil?
I have a 1970 Dart Swinger with one horn. The dual horns standard is a new one on me.
The Olds would be a great project for Howard on Old Car Alley.
He's busy with that Galaxie right now.

That is correct, jack instructions. Glad to help you!
It was a nice car once. Should be again in the near future.
You forgot to put the pic of where the car was sitting, or did I just miss it?
It's in the thumbnail.
There's a ton of parts that are the exact same ones as my Demon has.
Right on.
I have a lot of parts that will work. I will send it all.
Thanks!
You said you wanted another Scamp and a Dart.
70 polara put up today on las vegas fb marketplace , "bad engine" straight body etc -$500-
A two door? Haha that’s unlike you.
Great video 😃 Can I ask if you had to pay for transporting the car to your house? Stay safe 😁
Yes. $75.00. It works out cheaper than having to rent or buy a trailer for the little amount of car hauling I do now.
Is this Scamp a 6 cylinder or is it an 8 cylinder, 318 cubic inches.
Slant 6
It would be fun to build a 440 and stick it in this car. Keep it sounding quiet and looking like a plain jane slant 6 dart.
I kinda miss why you bought it .every time you showed a bad spot you would say that that's not why I bought it .
It was just a joke.

It's actually B2 blue.
Do you know the color of the vinyl top?
@@Xyleksoll black
I'm still waiting to hear why u bought it
i liked it.
What would Scotty Kilmer think? 😄😄
It's not a Toyota so he wouldn't like it
@@chriscarson1493 He replaced his Celica with a new Nissan!
