Overall Build

This Scamp was built with modern performance, drivability, and reliability in mind while retaining the character of the classic Mopar A-body. Virtually every major system has been upgraded or replaced, from the 717 HP Hellcrate powerplant and modern automatic transmission to the custom suspension, brakes, chassis, electronics, interior, and exterior finish.

With only approximately 160 miles since the completion of the build, this is essentially a freshly completed, fully sorted, high-end custom Mopar.
