The third generation Plymouth Valiant (1967-1973) lived on a shared chassis with the compact and popular Dodge Dart. Dodge had their sporty hardtop Swinger version (cue Austin Powers jokes, yeah baby, yeah!) so Plymouth released the similarly oddly named Scamp edition. Only Chrysler could get away with selling cars that looked 10 years out of date in the early 70s (GM has the crown for that today!), but it looks good on the road today. Find this 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp offered for $15,500 in Yuba City, CA via ebay.
From the seller:
1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp 2dr. Coupe (Ebay’s system keeps auto-filling the model year 1971, which this is NOT)
Straight body lines, nice chrome trim and brightwork, floorboards have ZERO cancer

Sometimes I get so sick of this digital, always connected world, that a Valiant with a slant 6 and three on the tree is my dream (nightmare?) analog car. No firmware updates, no recalls, etc. No, I’ve never driven a three on the tree, never rebuilt a carb or messed with the “points” (wtf?) but I could figure it out. I’m not a total idiot of a monkey. Of course, this will never happen and there’s a lot to be said for modern cars (safety, reliability, performance, blah blah) but a guy can dream.

$15K? Very nicely done, but it’s still a Valiant…
