Classic Mopars in Europe

[Jaap Rieuwerts]

In my hometown, Amsterdam - Holland, are more Mopars (also Musclecars) driving around then ever before.
Also the Big C-bodies can be seen these days, and more are coming in every day. Engineparts are no real problem, OK, still very expensive, but things like interiourparts are real difficult to find. The Mopars from the sixties and seventies are becoming more popular then ever in Europe. Are there more people in Europe reading this Mopar Chat site, and can we start a special European topic ? Who has parts for my '69 Newport Convertible at THIS side of the ocean ? Reactions please !!

Hello from Italy
here there are no Mopars on the road, very few were imported when new, and now have disappeared. Very few musclecars of recent import, too. Swizerland and Germany are good cheap sources for Mopar parts at good prices, or Sweden. In Switzerland I just bought a 70 Challenger 440 six pack export car, for 2500$, and guess there are still good bargains
Very good meets there, too, about 2000 cars

Here in Finland the Mopars has always been pretty popular. In the 60's and 70's more mopars were sold here than GM's or US Fords. Currently the situation is the same, mopars are the #1 selling US car brand here, mostly Neons because of the decent price (a little over 20000$= 123000 FIM for the base model). Because of the freights and customs everything costs here roughly two times that the parts cost in USA. The models of the 60's that came here new were mostly /6 and three on the tree cars, Valiants, Darts, Belvederes and Coronets as 4D sedans were the majority. 2D HT's were rare and cabriolets almost unheard of, which is no wonder considering the climate. So there are not many 60's or early 70's special models here that has come through the importer, a few 383 'Cudas, one 440 six pack Challenger are some of the rarest. I almost forgot one rarity that a friend of mine owns, a '67 Belvedere 4 D sedan with a 426 Hemi. It's the only one ever made. There are three Hemi cars in the country that has arrived through the importer, and maybe 15 later imported non numbers matching cars. Anyway, the mopar hobby here is doing well, the Finnish mopar association is the biggest car brand association in the whole country, including the european brands, parts availability is good; there are many speed shops here that can get you parts, wrecking yards etc. And the mail order works from the US too. There are also many race mopars, some of them hold european records in their class, even a mopar Pro-Stocker.

Hi! Here´s another Mopar guy from Europe, Finland. I just found these pages today. Wow, I´m really impressed!

I´ve got a `70 Challenger, it was shipped over here 12/69, so it was one of the firsts here, I think. It was 383/727/8 3/4 posi, red/white, vinyl top.

The vehicle is almost stock looking, but I need some minor things, and advice. So you´ll be seeing my postings on these pages... ;-)
