New guy and new to owning a classic car!
 
Hi everyone!

New guy here. I just bought a 72 Plymouth Scamp with the 318 v8! Love the car. I have a lot of the original owners documentation with it. It has the original v8 as well. 50k miles on the car. I found the car at the Daytona Turkey Run a few weeks back. I couldn't afford a gto, chevelle, nomad, 34 roadster or chargers etc. The price was right on the car and I do not have to do a darn thing to it! She gets about 5 stop lights to the gallon (O: Sure fun to drive down here in sunny Florida. I get a lot of looks! It's my weekend car. I use my Sebring during the week. This is a big hobby switch after having the luxury of docking my dad's 245 Sundancer since I was 13 or 14 years old:hello::hello:

Lets just say I docked a boat way the heck before I got my licenses so classic cars is my second love!!

I feel honored to own a piece of American history and muscle at the age of 29!

I was just joking. She does alright on mpgs. It's just a weekend car/show car so I'm not complaining (O:
