New in here but not new in Mopars. 1967 GT Dart (471 cid) sailing from Virginia to Europe. Red on red car... just like my 1970 "PPRCuda"

Can't wait to get it!

As you can see I'm addicted to red Mopars!

Welcome to Fabo, Pepe.
Nice Dart, red on red my favorite combo.
Btw, you got to show us some pics of your e-body Cuda. I know from cuda-challenger.com the outstanding job you´ve done on that car.
 
Welcome to FABO from SoCal. You're going to have fun here.
Beautiful cars! So, with 3 pretty Mopars that just about fills up the summer weekend cruising season in Finland doesn't it? 3 cars - 3 non-snowy weekends - cruising season done! LOL
Seriously, nice cars. You need to make it out to the western US sometime for our Mopar shows: Spring Fling in Van Nuys (SoCal), Moparty At The Strip (Las Vegas), and Fall Fling (Van Nuys).

Thanks, been once in California and Vegas and it was THE holiday of my life!

BTW! I have finnish contact in Reseda who takes care of buying cars and shipping them to Finland. I bought theses beauties from SoCal area.

Thanks swedefish. Barracuda was (and is) long and serious project. With this car I wanna be less serious. Maybe old 1970's race look with Cragar S/S wheels etc is the way to go. I also wanna cut rear wheel opening with hemi templates but that's maybe too radical.

Umeå..do you visit Piteå Race Way. Maybe you can remember my 1967 Formula S Barracuda. Tube chassis with Batten alu head engine. It went 9.781 / 140 mph without NOS. I race it 2001-2003.

And my nostalgia racer 1946 Morris Wheelie Wagon? It was in Piteå 2007 and 2008.

Thanks! Some people are though angry because we buy right now so many classic cars from USA to Europe, NZ, Japan and Australia.

Dollar is weak, euro is strong. Your loss, our gain or how you are saying over there.
 
Welcome to FABO !!!
More pictures of all the cars please!!!
