Shaker bubble is OEM but I don't know about the hood yet, maybe a day it will be original but now I just enjoy it.

A real beauty for sure :picture:

What is it with Sweden and E-body Mopars anyway? I came across this website www.mopar70.com by a Swede named Roland and I could not believe how many Challengers were registered on his site as being in Sweden - literally hundreds of them ... AND it didn't include any of the Barracudas/Cudas that are there either! Any theory as to why all these E-bodies are "migrating" to Sweden?  :roflsmiley:

How many Krona is a liter of gas going for anyway :dunno:

It's not just ebodies.
I know of two entire yards of cars that I have personally seen loaded up and sent off to sweden.
I know of something like 2500 cars that I have seen go over the pond.  Multiple types of cars.

We have a huge Classic car culture here in Sweden, I believe there is around 400 e-bodys here, just got back from a car meet, around 17 000 cars showed up. Here is a cool one... I'll post some e-bodys later.

On may way to Falkenberg last saturday the alternator broke down just before Halmstad, had a spare with me took some work and hours to find out that one was also gone, burned diod, new regulator and a new alternator and a direct line from alt to relay bypassed the amp meter, now the car runs fine again, but I missed the show, Ola I sent you an email last fall after I purchased the car.
