Power BIG Meet

[COPO_Anders]

I just came home from THE meeting over here. I will try to attach some pictures and tell you something about it at the end of this week.
You can take a look at the 2003 meet at www.bigmeet.com (http://www.bigmeet.com)

We met a guy with a -68 Hemi Coronet R/T. He bought the car in the Chicago area back in -83, payed 3500$. He lived there from -83 to -86. The car had been sitting under a tree for years with a bad bearing on the crankshaft and was rusty, but with the original drivetrain still in the car. VIN WS23J8G190XXX. It was silver(AA1) with black vinyl top.
My VIN-decode expert (Hans Olsson) spotted the HEMI-emblem while we cruised through town last evening.

I forgott to tell what happend when we were sitting in Classe Mörtögas -65 Impala SS in the McDrive, waiting for our hamburgers, Saturday night.
Sitting there talking, all of a sudden a dragster pulls up alongside us and the driver says: watch your ears guys, it will get noicy! Then he blasts off in a short burnout leaving us behind!

This is a factory Hemi Challenger that hasn´t been restored back to original condition yet. The original drivetrain was used in the "Bumble Bee"(Morris Minor)dragrace car. I visited Claes, the owner, in February and he told me he managed to buy the engine back when the "Bumble Bee" was retired. He also owns a -71 factory Hemi Cuda.

Great guy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Yes Bob, I do think we have something to be proud of, thanks to you guys.

We decoded the VINs on the following Mopars to be sure not to post pictures of clones.
Here´s a 440-6

This Super Bee is well known to the Mopar guys in the USA I believe.

According to the Edsel guys, the first 190 cars were roof-cars. If that is true then this car, #191, is the very first Edsel convertible built.

[COPO_Anders]

Shelby GT 350.

A Cyclone GT, Cale Yarborough special with a 429 engine.
One summer twenty years ago, I was driving a Cyclone GT with a 351 Cleveland. We had a lot of fun with that car, all summer. I saw that one to, here in Västerås.

I'm impressed!! You guys have quite a show over there, and a lot more variety than I thought. I used to work for Tetra Pak / Tetra Laval, and realized how much our Swedish friends appreciate their horsepower http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hvychev]

Wow I never knew there was so much muscle in Sweeden! Man those pics look like there were some pretty bad storms on the horizon! Were the owners worried about that?

We were actually lucky here in Västerås ! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
No rain on Friday. Rainy but still pretty decent on Saturday when these pictures were taken. At 2pm the rain stopped so that we could cruise all night !
On Sunday it started raining again, so we went home.
We are used to rain in the summer, but this summer has been the worst since 1925, I think the said on the news.
In the Anderstorp area, they got 5 inches of rain over the weekend. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
