I guess a little less than half of the cars raced in Sweden/Finland are of US origin. The rest of them are built by the owners over here. Nice to see your interest in our cars!!

Regards,

Jocke, #3176, '88 Mustang GT N/S

If I remember a news story from a few years ago correctly, even the King of Sweden is a muscle car enthusiast. .... If only we had that kind of leadership in the States!! .......Tom

Our 69 Camaro was sold in october of 2005, Per Fagerstrom flew over to see it, he then bought it, tested with it at Martin, and we dropped it off in Chicago at a shipping company. I believe he paid $1,300-$1,500 to ship it to him from Chicago and it took 6 weeks.

The 66 Chevelle looks like Gordon Merkley's car from Div 6 and the mid 80s Camaro looks like one of the Klein/Taylor cars.

Amount of bill of sale is ofcourse...flexible...
Good thing with import of a S/SS is that we need the title to get it out of US.
By that its easy to pre-registrer for a Swedish title, with the correct year, etc.

Due to the large interest in the hobby, cars older that 1975 pay only $7/year in vehicle tax.
(Feels strange to have anything positive to say about Swedish taxes...)

BTW, regular is today $7.50 and diesel $8.00. 60% is taxes and VAT on taxes...

I miss leaded racing fuel, this new crap smells... cancer...
