Thank you for the warm welcome. I live in Milano, northern part of Italy. All of my cars were found as needing full restoration, a good way to ensure work is done correctly, and also a good way of having fun. The 71 Cuda was literally found in a junkyard, its american owner had gone back to the US, and left the car to a mechanic. The car had no paperwork, so driving was very dangerous. When I heard about the car, took the license plates of my 69 Camaro, slapped them on and drove home. Drove with them until I could have correct plates via the historic car club.it was 1985, I was 27 years old. Save for some dents and scrapes, the car drove really well. B5, A31, stereo with cassette and mic...matching numbers and two broadcast sheet.

Welcome from Sweden! 
Nice cars! Must be rare in Italy, been there a few times, love it, always on the lookout for Mopars,
but I never seen one in Italy.

What's amazing to me is you found all of those rare cars in Europe. Even more that you found all the parts to restore them. I guess you spent a lot of time getting parts from the US. Or do they have a parts supply over in Europe?

No doubt!! Being in Italy I would think that it would be more common to find a Ferrari in the scrap yard than a Mopar??

Welcome!  That is an awesome collection in an area where they can be very hard to find.  I was stationed in Vicenza for 3 1/2 years in the 1990s and don't recall seeing a single classic Mopar.  I had a 69 Dart in storage back home and would have stopped and talked to any Mopar enthusiast I ran across.  Guess I should have went into Milan more

Blucuda, if you came to Milano, I could have shown you the Hemi, the 71 Cuda, and something else that I have since sold.
In Vicenza form a US mechanic by name mr Clifton I bought a 69 GTO and the 440 that is now in my 70 Challenger six pack ...there were a lot of cars belonging to US serivcemen.
As for parts, I get everything form the US, ebay is my best friend, and a couple of Fedex airplanes now belong to me...with all the noney I paid on shipping....
