European A-body owners: where are you?
Hi all,
We have several a-bodies here in Holland. In the 60ties there was an assembly plant in Rotterdam.
Because of the bad weather and salty roads in the winter, not many are left. Many are imported from Switzerland and USA nowdays.
Me and my brother have and still owned many Valiants the past 10 years as a hobby. He still drives a '64 Barracuda, I have a '64 Valiant 4 door and a convertible V8. We owned a '65 2-door, '64 2-door and a '66 2-door and parted out a 64-4door.
I do know many people here how own a Valiant or Dart. But very less are active on the internet.
They have a collection or keep it as a sleeper. Many drives it just 2 times a year, like me :pale:
I have a lot of sparepars and sometimes helps others with fixing their cars.
Also there is a car register here by a fanatic I know, but not online. The problem is, this cars are cheap and most of the time a step-up to a fullsize V8 or racer. Eventually an a-body ends up with a lot of previous owners
and contact is lost.
But there are a few hardcore fans, like me, and keeping them many years.
Once a year we meet at the Chrysler meeting, but always in a little corner next to the full-sizers...
Sorry, not many pictures yet on this new tablet. One nice picture of my brother.
If I don't forget, I will post a few extra pics.
Happy driving!
Jonathan
