Yeah, finding parts for the american iron is more challenging on that side of the ocean. I used to live in Stockholm (Stocksund) years ago and it was a rare site to see the American classics and that was when they weren't 'old' cars back then!

Jap no easy task but its not immposible. the dart was a wery popular car in the mid 60s. No just called raggarbilar and they where cheap as dirt back then.
in 70s and 80s . Many was destroyed and scrapt
they even buildt some of them in sweden by saab ana in nykoping and belgium dont now where and by whom.
sorry for the crazy spelling

This one is also a 6cyl car manual trans dont now witch of them the build plate is gone.
and the sheet so i dont know the color and so on.
Going to be a black colour in the moulding space, the interior is going to be dark blue and black.
 
I have an original 64 273 4spd car, which I converted in 74 to a 340 4spd, but I have always had a soft spot for the sl6/ 4spd cars. My dream car is a dark metallic blue 64 GT convert w/ sl6 4spd, hahaha.

I always dreamt of a 65 gt black white top 273 commando 4spd.
But the 64 is a wery nice car owned a couple of them before the first was back in 79.
The paint on this one is a standard volvo truck blue.

Silly question.....was the front end universal on the 63, 64 and 65? Could you interchange grills with a little work?

I believe the interchange works for 63 and 64. I'm not absolutely positive, but I think 65 is different, and 66 is even more different.
 
Hey swede, I'm liking it, very nice. Had '64 Valiant in 1972. Call it Swedish Lightning...bra!

the 63 and 64 is almost the same the 65 fits the 63,64 but its different fenders the same 63,64 and 65
the grill fits between 63 and 64 the 65 also with some fiddeling,
owned a 64 with a 65 front end and a 65 with a 63 front end

I have a friend who has a 71 Demon with a blown 340, he is running a 641 blower on it and it develops between 625 and 725 HP depending on which pulley he feels like using.

I see you have two pairs of tail lights....Do you want to sell a pair by chance? Can't hurt to ask. Both of mine were shattered when I bought it. Luckily all the pieces were inside the tail light housing. Was able to glue them together for now...
