Hi guys, i live in the southwest of Germany close to the french border. Lots of hills, castles, wineyards and the river Rhine just around me.
I came to the MoPar business through my job as a parts guy at Mercedes. During our time with Chrysler i learned a lot about US classics from my counterparts in Detroit. That was when i first got in touch with MoPar. I am more on the original side, but accept also the custom cars.
So in 2010 i  imported a 69 RR from Wisconsin. Rallye green, TF 727, white Int. I bought it from a dealer. One owner, mostly original paint, rough interior. Still have it.
Since my passion always belongs to E-Bodies, i got approval to get one in 2015. So i looked around for a Six-Pack. V-codes were too expensive for my budget, so i ended up with searching either AAR or T/A. End of summer 2015 i found what i was looking for in Michigan. After some negotiations the AAR came into my driveway in Dec 15. Getting the car street legal in Germany and some other obstacles were the reason the registration last until April 17. I am looking forward to find some good infos here and learn some more about my car.  :germany:

A lot of knowledgeable people here who are always willing to share.
Love to some more pictures of your cars and the area of Germany you live in; I understand it is a beautiful place.

Welcome from B.C. Canada. I am always impressed with the dedication it takes to own a classic American car in Europe.

Yep, this experience was more than good. Alone the opportunity to come to Detroit for six weeks. I had  the chance to visit the Chrysler Museum, Ford Museum and over one weekend Niagara Falls. Although separated ten years ago. i still have contact to the former Centerline guys.
