Hi guys , i m starting to check this car for sale in Sweden , unfortunatly no broadcast sheet, no documentation,or info on restoration, suppose to come from california 15 years ago , looks like an older resto , matching number , realy cool color combo , would prefer 4 speed , but im ok with auto.Not sure  if fender tag is original ....
I know some members are from sweden so i hope somebody will have infos , and let me know what you think about it.

Nice looking ride.
Looks like the seat belts were upgraded.
Maybe a safety requirement to get the vehicle approved for use when it was imported??

Downside is it has the 22 inch radiator.
440-6 automatics without an axle package got the smaller radiator.

Looks like power brake booster and disc brake master cylinder were added on too.
Does it currently have disc brakes on the front with the correct proportioning valve setup?
I've seen disc brake master cylinders swapped onto cars that still retain the drum brakes before.

What rear end does it currently have?
Based on the lack of an axle package on the fender tag, it would most likely have been an 8.75, 3.23 gears, no limited slip and 11x2.5" HD brakes.

@chris NOS (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/chris-nos_2932) what are they asking for it?
I saw in your link 525,000 SKR so about 63,000 USD?

At least $30k or so too high. $70k seems to buy a really decent 70 Challenger 440 Six Pack these days.

At 95k USD, I would keep looking.

JH27N0B has a gorgeous 71 Challenger V-code 4spd, super track pack with leather. He has mentioned selling it due to lack of space. I believe has 2 other Challengers. His 71 is really clean and I have seen it in person at local shows. If I was in the market for a done V-code that needs little to nothing, his would be hard for me to pass up. Then again, I'm partial to 71 Challengers.
