Thanks!

My plan with the car is to get some nices rims for it 15x10 centerlines or other nice RACE rims.
and the paintjob isnt wery nice, and i dont like that all chrome is painted black....so i had a respray in mind....

I didnt find it in africa but some of the previus owners did.

Yes its an old volvo in the background.
and yes i have some more american cars:

check out my homepage for pics of my other cars... the ones at the top i still have... the other ones i have sold.

Welcome to the board Swedish!  I don't think I've ever seen someone paint all the chrome black on a car before.  :dunno:  So with the repaint, are you going to stay with yellow?  She looks like she's in really nice shape!  Great find!

Glad to have you on board!

Welcome to the site, Martin! :wave:  Nice find with the Challenger!  It looks like a good car to work with.  As for a repaint, I'd say it'd look killer in either Sublime green or Go Green. :grinyes: :cheers:

Hey Swedish, is that a Predator on your Camaro. Those carbs were great! I got a few races out of one of those. The idiots that raced me thought the car had to be slow because of the carb. I'm a few hundred richer because those things really work. Nice collection of cars. Good luck with the Challenger

Hey Martin, welcome aboard. Me and you are in the same boat.
23, own Challengers and are from overseas.  :biggrin:

Looks like a great car. Those are decent wheels on the back 275/60 minimum, they look great.


Hope you stick around.

Cheers,
