1972 Scamp/Valiant?
Hello All,
Looking for some words of wisdom regarding the following: Are all 1972 Valiant 2 door hardtops considered Scamps? Are there any known differences between Canadian and American versions? Thanks! Allan |

Not sure if this helps or not but....
I just got my 71 Scamp back to Canada from the U.S. and it's a 2-door hardtop. Says Valiant - Scamp on the side. Again, not sure if that helps or not lol Cya |

There is a hegh end Valiant that they called Valiant Brogham. It looked like a Scamp with a luxery type bucket seat interior, and a lot of sound deadner.

The 2dr models were called scamps 4dr models are just valliants. Chrysler made 4 different cars w/ 2 basic styles. They took the Dodge Dart (2dr & 4dr) hung a Duster Nose on it and viola: Scamp & Valliant! Then the took a Dart nose and hung it on a Duster and made the Dodge Demon. Take a look at any of these cars and look at the shape of the wheel wells. The Scamp has the Duster wheel well shape in the front and the Dodge Dart shape in the rear. The oposite occurs on the Demon . The Dart and Duster wheel well shapes are the same front to back.

71 Scamp
I have a 71 Scamp, 2 Door Hardtop. It has a small metal/plastic label with VALIANT, and Stickers of SCAMP.
In addition, if anyone has any suggestion, I am trying to restore this Scamp. It was my grandmothers, currently has only 55518 miles on a 318. I'm looking for a dashboard (Green), which is going to be almost impossible to find. Any suggestions, let me know! |

I don't know the specifics but there are several years and models the dash pad will interchange. There's probably someone here who can tell you the exact info. If you can't find a green one, you can always have vinyl paint mixed in the correct color and repaint the replacement. (SEM, Dupont, etc.)
Good luck, Dallas |

'76 Scamp
I have a '76 Scamp Special /6 - 2 dr with a vinyl top. It's in resto stages now. I removed the old cracked vinyl top..lots of rust. Plan to just paint the top...maybe white. Originally it was a metallic (metal flake) green with a green/black interior. Its all numbers matching, but I could give a rat's rump about all that. Gonna' paint her black with either a black or white hardtop...haven't decided yet. So, yes to your question...I belive all 2 door Valiants in the '70s were Scamps.

Total Prod VL29 & VS 29: 277,409 VL41 Valient 4 Dr. Sedan VP41 Brougham 4 dr Sdn. Total Prod. VL41 & VP 41: 127,430 VP23 Brougham Htp Coupe (2 dr) Total Prod: VP23: 2545 VH23 Scamp Htp Coupe (2 dr).

The Volare was also built on two different wheel bases. The sedans and wagons were built on a 112.5" WB, and the Coupes (2 drs) were on a 108" WB.

Here are the numbers for that year: VL29 Duster fastback Coupe: 212,331 VL41 Valient 4 door Sedan: 52,911 VH23 Scamp Hardtop Coupe: 49,470 Weight: 2825#, Base Price: $2528.00 VS29 Duster fastback Coupe V8: 15,681 Note: In 1972 all Valients were built on the 108" WB, except the Scamp which is built on the 111" wheel base. BTW, Year One has a lot of "A" body replacement parts. |
