1979 VEEP Union Gap, WA Sold

UPDATE: **Sold** was $5500. I initially thought this was a Scamp, but we have confirmation it is a VEEP.

(02/25/2023) Listed as a VEEP, I thought this was a SCAMP based on the front grille design with the recessed lights.

Looks like a GM HEI, dizzy, using only 4 outta 8 lugs. Never saw that trick b4.

It’s actually a Veep - I know because when I bought it a few months ago the original builder gave me the Hadley Engineering Veep build instructions with it (he built it in ‘79. It’s a 2110cc, and that distributor is HEI, but one specifically made for this application (not a GM skipping lugs) like the one made by Performance Distributors. I just rebuilt the carbs and it runs like a top. It looks like it’s going to be a fun project!

Thanks, I greatly appreciate the correction. I’ll have updated the post (and marked it sold, as the link no longer worked).
