Re: Scampaleshi
Hey guys. I've had the car together for about 10 years now. I did the body & paint, suspension, and engine with help from family and friends. Farmed out the trans and rear end. The vinyl top and interior are still original. The engine is a 340 with Mopar magnum heads, 9.9:1 CR, the Comp Cam specs at .519/.524" lift w/252deg @ .050" if I remember correctly. It's got a 727 with a 10" TCI converter and a 8&3/4 w/3.91's and a clutch type sure-grip. There's about 30k on the redo and it was used as a driver all the way through college and a divorce, the latter may have taken a few years off it's life. Currently runs 12.60's as shown, with 26x8.5" ET Drags on a 7" Steel Cop rim. Can't fit much more than that on a Scamp/Dart w/o a little cutting and moving action.
Originally posted by FreiburgerI like it. Dart with a Duster front clip. In '72, my dad had a Scamp rental car for a month and I still remember it. Even though it was a new car it had a coolant leak so my dad put a bucket under it every night. For 10-plus years, that bucket had "Scamp" written on it.

Re: Scampaleshi
My Dad bought a Scamp when we came back from Germany way back in the day. I always knew my Dad had a bit of Rodder in him. I wish we would have kept the Car since I started Driving the year he got rid of it. He bought a Hornet Sportabout with the V8 in it. "Little Stationwagon that could". I like that Green on it to. Mopar all the way.
