Welcome nice looking project you have there. what are your other plans such as color...

original color is B5 some kind of metallic blue, I will paint it this color with black billboards ( hemi maybe), i dream of a chrome luggage rack on the trunck and vynil top, black Nascar type wheels in 15" with 245*60 tires, a kind of sleeper

Wow!  How many Mopars do you see in France???  I can't imagine that many...  That'll get some attention!

Welcome to the board!  I really, really hope I can make it to Paris some day.  I would REALLY enjoy sampling some French Cuisine.

Jeff

thanks !!
no need to come to france for French Cuisine, while I was in Atlanta last june, you can find everything in food stores to cook some >>French meals.
as for mopars, hemi cudas were raced in france in the beginning of the 70" by an official Chrysler team . you will find a large coverage on the French mopar owners club site with lots of picts from that time

B5 is beautiful, especially with the billboards. cant wait to see some progress

Great series of images of the French Barracudas here on the French Connection website.

Start at 1970 and work your way up page by page. There is loads of it.

Hi Lilian,

I would like to wish you good luck and congratulations on your car. That would be wonderful to see in the midst of a normal French traffic scene! I have a friend in Paris, Christophe Schwartz, who runs a Charger in vintage racing events. I wrote an article about it for Mopar Action called "The French Connection" and the French people were very nice during my stay. He has a nice blog under www.olympiacharger.com if you would like to check it out. I hope your sources will be a great help with the logistics of finding parts and I am looking forward to checking out that '70 'Cuda racer on the French MoPar site! Have fun.

Don

thanks Don

I know Christophe by his blog and his famous charger. he looks like a great guy who lives things with passion. ( hope you understand what I mean)
there are lots of classic ammerican cars in france and in Europe mostly mustangs .

my main search for the moment is a 71 cuda grille which seems like the search of the graal
