Interesting Facts About the Plymouth Scamp

1971 Launch Tied to the Valiant
The first Plymouth Scamp debuted in 1971 as a two‑door hardtop coupe. It was directly based on the well‑established Plymouth Valiant, giving the Scamp a proven foundation for its launch.
Production Volume and Rarity
Between 1971 and 1975 Plymouth built about 230,000 Scamps, a figure that suggests the model was not especially rare for its time. The hardtop coupe body style was offered through the 1970‑1976 model years.
1983 Revival on a Shared Platform
The Scamp name returned in 1983 as a front‑wheel‑drive coupé utility. This later version shared its platform with the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon, and it lasted only three model years, representing a single generation of the reborn Scamp.
