Rookie from Spain

[blackhood]

Hi, my name is Alfred and I own a 1970 challenger NOM 440
Now car is already "finished", always is needed something more to do
I show you a pic.
Thanks.

[Rev-It-Up]

Nice to have you on the board Alfred!  I do believe you are our first member from Spain!    I think we all understand your sentiments about always having something more to do.

Glad to have you!

Thanks guys.
Yes last two or three years it's a mopar fever in spain, anyway it's a reduced numbers vs usa
You must consider in spain we pay 1,20 euro/1.40 dollar for EACH liter of fuel, we do not have tracks to race legally, is hard to find american car parts, we must order to jeg's, summit, year one...and parts delay about one week at least and we must pay hard taxes here (about 25%) plus shipping from states to spain or any other place in europe.
How sounds it?
Here we are crazy for the muscles too, we love it and we have a club of American Cars, but some of the members likes mopar a lot.
I hope learn a lot from you and you can see my engine combo in a tech post.

Thanks.Alfred.

Sounds just like down here in New Zealand, except it takes longer down here. lol 
You buy from Year One? I have done 80% of my buying from them and they are simply the best. 

Cheers,

Sometimes year one do not have racing products, but I bought several parts to them.
Year one takes 8-10 days shipping to spain.

It does!? Sheesh, you may want to look into it. I'm further away and it takes 3-4 days, sometimes 7 days.
If parts are on Back Order that's when it sucks.

I shop Mancini Racing for my Speed parts.

Welcome Alfred  , great looking Chally. Do you have any registry of how many mopars you have in Spain?
Just curious 
I`ve been to Costa del Sol a couple of times, so where from in Spain are you?
I`m with you we`ve got some unfair taxes here in Europe

Hi Alfred, real nice Challenger 

[Swedefish]

If I rember correct, I beleave I saw an ad of a -69 Cuda fastback for sale here in Sweden and it was an import from Spain. Thought that it was kind of odd but I see that you got quite a few of mopars in Spain. On the other hand it`s a shame to take them away from you.
