1972 Plymouth Scamp
Originally a slant auto grandmas car, purchased in July of 2005
Body & Interior
b5 blue, in and out. Needs carpet (carpet is out) and door seals, small bit of surface rust starting on front floors.(they were perfect when the carpet came out two years ago). The front bench worn on drivers side.
body is very straight, couple of shopping car dimples in doors, and a dent in rear valence. was a vinyl top car, so has some rust starting in C pillars but its not rusted through. there is absolutely no rust anywhere else.
The factory didn't put very much paint on the roof, and most the paint is baked through (original paint) and is getting some surface rust on the very back of the trunk lid. (think of car parked in carport its entire life with the sun just hitting the back of the trunk) Most of the paint still waxes up good, but there's probably not enough left to buff it out.
