1971 PLYMOUTH VALIANT SCAMP

VIN: VH23G1R186112

TITLE: Clear title in hand with a VIN that's matches the car.

HISTORY: I can tell and prove lots of history on this little muscle car. The past owner

saved lots of things like, the original window sticker, the owners manual, the build sheet

and lots of receipts. He put them all in a binder and it will come with the car. The car

was sold here in Knoxville, Tennessee. It lived here and was taken to a small town near

Cincinnati in 2010, or that's the way I read the supplied information and receipts. The

past owner started restoring the car in around 2004 and it has been on going. The car

was not born with the 360 engine, it was added new according to the records, the car

was born with a automatic transmission and was converted to a rebuilt 4 speed A-833,

the receipts show this.

PHOTOS/PICTURES: Ebay Motors make it hard to find all the pictures, I do have more

pictures listed, just scroll on the right side of the pictures and you will find more.

For your consideration I have a good looking, fast 1971 Plymouth Scamp. It has a strong

360 engine, sublime lime paint, black vinyl top, 4 speed manual transmission, pistol grip

Hurst shifter, rally wheels, BF Goodrich tires, nice black interior, clear glass, nice

chrome, disc brakes on the front, power steering, after market gauges, up graded sway

bars, AC, and the big thing is that its a very solid car.

WILL I SELL OFF EBAY? Sure, I want to sell the car and I know lots of you don't

have PayPal and ebay accounts.

The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying

the vehicle, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where

the car is located and how to pay and contact information.

IS IT A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR? No!!!!! The engine is now a larger 360 cubic inch

and the 4 speed transmission has been added.

IS THIS A REAL Scamp? I think so, but I'm sure no expert on them.

ENGINE: Good running 360 cubic inch engine, no knocks, no rattles, no bad oil leaks,

"I will not guarantee you it won't leave a drop on your nice clean floor, but its pretty

dry. The notes from the past owner says it was a new engine, its a good one.

TRANSMISSION: Its a 4 speed manual A-833 that has been rebuilt, all the receipts

are supplied. The clutch is good and the Hurst pistol grip shifter is smooth.

EXHAUST SYSTEM: It has the deep loud muscle car sound, it is not new, but good

condition. The mufflers are by Flow Master and the headers are non coated full tubes.

PAINT: I consider the paint good. I think the color is what is called sublime lime or l

ime light, they are the same. No rust bubbles, no dents, no big dings, the car is

straight when you look down the sides. The paint is nice, but its not a $20,000 paint

job, I see 3 or 4 tiny touched up stone chips.

VINYL TOP: Looks extra good.

CHROME: Not all new, but nice chrome and bright work.

GLASS: The windshield looks good with no cracks and it not milky.

SOUND SYSTEM: A decent sound system with AM FM CD mounted under the dash.

INTERIOR: Nice black interior, its not brand new, but has no real wear. The

headliner is good.

WHEELS AND TIRES: Factory rally wheels, the tires are good BF Goodrich.

LIGHTS: The headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights work, dome light not

working.

GAUGES: The gas gauge works, the other gauges are mounted under the dash.

WIPERS WORK! PARKING BARKE WORKS!

REAR-END: It has no growls or whines, it is a good highway gear and not positive

traction.

AIR conditioning and heat: One of the AC hoses had a crack, past owner said it blew

at a car show late fall. We have a new one ordered and should be here today. The

heater core is by passed, it probably leaks and I don't have time to fix it, a new

core cost $37.

HOW IS THE PANEL FIT? I think it is good, the doors and trunk open good.

ARE ALL THE BODY PANELS ORIGINAL? They all look original to me, the floors look

original as well as the quarters.

THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR: One AC hose is leaking, but I have a new one

coming. The heater core is by passed and the dome light is not working. I'm probably

missing something, but it can't be much.

WHY DON'T I FIX EVERYTHING: The car is very usable the way it is, the price

keeps going up the more I do and its harder to sell and a big reason is that I have too

many projects started.

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM: My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town

of Athens, Tennessee “Athens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the

foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee “I am truly qualified to

be called a Hill Billy”. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41.

I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars.

For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center

here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook

helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year

in Vietnam. I’m Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American. I’ve been married

to the same good woman for 44 years.

LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

Sorry, I do not show cars on Sunday! I worship on Sunday, I spend time with my family,

I'm 67 years old and need some rest. I love cars and will help you 6 days a week, but

not on Sunday.

Sorry, I do not do videos. I'm old and just don't enjoy doing them.

HAS THE CAR BEEN IN A ACCIDENT? I see no signs of accident damage, the frame

looks straight, the sheet metal is not wrinkled up that I see, by law the title has to

state it if the car has ever been in a bad accident and it does not.

TRADES:

Please no trades, they never work out and are just too hard!

CONTACT INFO: my cell telephone number is 423-506-8987, I do not answer

when driving, while meeting with people, after about 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

Please leave a voice mail and I’ll get back. I do check my emails several times a day.

cell 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com

PAPERWORK: I know what to do! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but

we are a Tennessee licensed/bonded car dealer and have sold cars all over the US

and exported many.

THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the

right to stop the listing at any time and sale the car “come look”.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR

SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED: The car is here at my garage in Athens, Tennessee

. Athens is in east Tennessee, we are 50 miles south of Knoxville and 50 miles north

of Chattanooga. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville.

I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303.

The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport, but has

no commercial flights.

Transport US OR EXPORT “I like Nations Auto Transport". They are located

in Kansas City.

Contact: Jim Page his office number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens, Tennessee is 37303.

I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40,

so transport is usually very fast.

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car.

I will take paypal for the deposit, but not for full payment.

Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face.

Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the check clears, I have had

a fake bank certified check.

Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a

member of the US Federal Reserve, this is called wire

transfer. And its safe for both of us.

WILL I HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO LOOK OR HAVE IT INSPECTED?

Its good business for both of us the take a deposit. A $250 deposit locks it in

for you! I have held too many cars that people promise me they are going to buy

and they never show up, their wife won’t let them buy it, they can’t get a loan or

they just back out. Before you drive or fly a long distance you need to make sure

the car is not sold. “The way I look at it is until you pay a deposit you’re just

looking and dreaming”.

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy.

All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car

as I see it as a 67 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge

the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors have to be very critical

to cover their back sides. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking,

but I think you should come look yourself. I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the

person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to

inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect,

come inspect first!

If you are not registered with ebay motors, I will work with you,

"YOU CAN BUY DIRECT".

BOTTOM LINE: Sorry, but my price is $14,800 and I'm asking more on the local

market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down. It’s not fun

to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away

and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold

every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down.

WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION;

YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON’T BE A CRY BABY.

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

Thank You,

Ron Watson cell: 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com

I am very careful about taking payment, I have had a fake certified check, it looked real

and the buyer seemed real. I will take one, but I will check you out. I am ebay varified,

that means you can buy ebays buyer protection plan and they will guarantee thats I'm

real, they will not guarantee the car.

IS THERE A WARRANTY? No! Come inspect, judge and drive the vehicle all you want

to because I do not offer a warranty on classic vehicles. Any descriptions or

representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a

warranty of any type, they are the way I see the vehicle. It is the responsibility of

the buyer to have thoroughly inspected this vehicle and to have satisfied himself or

herself as to the condition and value and to purchase based upon that judgment solely.

This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied.

The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness,

or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith.

BUYER GUIDE: X As is no warranty.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
