Hi Guys !, Im from Europa and own a , i guess , pretty rare MATCHING numbers 383 4bbl Cuda convertible, its an original export car ( y09) and im going to restore it soon. It has a lot of options and the most curios one is a two tone leather bucket ! interior of wich i think its NOT original to the car.,
The car is white now, but FY1 yellow originaly what colour it also will be again after the resto.

Could you guys help me out ? by starting to tell me iff this is a 1 of 1 car ? ( must be...) and how many export 383 4bbl autotrans cars were build , or better, came to europa ?....

PS ! i HAVE A MOST OF THE BUILDSHEET AN TAG DATE AND DECODED THAT ALREADY.. SO NO HELP NEEDED THERE ! THANKS !...

Ill have more questions FOR SURE ! , but hope to start with these above ...

Again its a BS27NOB car and has : Power-windows, steer ,disc brakes, top, elasto front bump , FY1, Ralley dash, buckets, all de moldings you could get.., light package, FM, 3 speed whiper and more..

The car came to Europa via an Austria chrysler
importer in the 70's and the added ( for road legal reasons !) OTHER electric mirrors with remote knob on the console, and a special head light switch on the colum instead of the normal Footswitch on the floor.. Officialy , thereby the are original items to the car.. because this dealer was the official chrysler importer in these
days ( although i will change them back to us specs most lightly..)

WELL.. TELL me please what you guys now about the build numbers etc , because we CANT find anything on these cars over here !..

And.. DID anyone EVER see these seat type ( vinyl style seats ) In LEATHER ?... i now the white will most surely be added , but the black leather REALY looks like original patern !... The fendertag doesnt state anything on that, and the buildsheet is missing JUST that info ! ( hole in the paper...).. so i asume its after added.. but.. maybe ? originaly some special seat type maybe ??... ( i guess not... )

THANKS IN ADVANCE... any info is welcome !!

With regards

Fred

More pics....

More

More picsss

More even....

very cool car probably 1 of 1 for export but not 1 of 1 built looks like around 130 built total good luck dan

Hi there ! , thanks for that , although i read somewhere on this forum... only 36 3834bbl 335hp
automatics were ever build ?...and i believe around
140 or so in total ? ( 383's)

But i guess nobody now's how many were ( from total)
in these option / colour codes etc..

The worldfamous... mr Govier... never responds to
outside US mails.. .. So i cant get any info there..., i called, mailed, send pics.. want to "pay him just like you guys"... but no reply...
SO.. My hopes are here now ! for some more data !..

Even if you paid him it might take a year or more to get an answer.

Most cars will be a 1 of 1 when all of its options are considered. The leather is not original to the car, the seats have been redone. The pattern is similar to the vinyl seat pattern used in '70. Your fender tag should have the interior code "H6X9" for "Black Vinyl bucket seats".

There were 87 'Cudas convertibles (BS27_0B) built in 1970 for CANADA (Y07) & EXPORT (Y09)

I've heard a number for the Y07 cars but can't find it. Anybody have the CANADA only number?

There were 132 'Cuda convertibles built in 1970 for USA (Y05) with 383 & automatic (BS27N0B).

Does the VIN on the dash begin with BS or 08 ?

THANKS SOFAR GUYS !.. would be nice to know how many went to Europa....Chrysler had , as you know, a factory in Rotterdam & Swiss ( schinznach) in the earlie 70's) but i believe this
car came straight from the states because it has no schinznach plates and all its original fender tags and dash vin etc ( a schinznach car dont have the full vin on the dash and no fendertag etc) so.. its even rarer.. because most EU cudas
and challys etc, came through Rotterdam and than went to Schinznach for end assemblie and sales etc)

SO ANY HELP IS WELCOME !...concerning build numbers in colour brakedowns, engine-trans breakdowns and export etc...

PS ITS A REAL BS27 code , no 08..

SEATS : Yeb i also think the are non original BUT ! strange thing is !.. AL THE TAGS and the seams look factory original ! and i even find the buildsheets behind the rearseat and behind the backing of the frontseats....., but the white
sides are added later , as i can tell by other thread and leather... STRANGE... but treu.
The car also has other strange options added as the mainlight siwtch on the collum ( instead of on the floor..) the mirrors ( but are added over here in Europa when imported i guess..)and than some other minor differences...
The rearbumper is ODD to.. its steal.. but it has the original yellow FY1 paint under the white repaint....

THANKS SOFAR GUYS !!!!

sounds like you answered most of your own questions. neat car,

Goedemorgen Pedalfred. Ik hoop dat u goed. Ik denk dat ik u kan helpen.

My name is Ola Nilsson.
I run the 1970-71 E-Body Convertible Registry.
I currently have 3 Y09 BS27N0B cars in the Registry, along with 68 Y05, and 1 Y07.
I may be able to answer some of your questions.
I have researched some information on the export cars and how the European orders came to fruition.

I will e-mail you personally.

Ola Nilsson

Hi OLA,

Did you recieve my e-mail?

Interesting that it's coded as FY1 yet under the dash was painted white...

What's it with the European dudes with Mopars that are so insistant calling their cars 1 of 1???

The dude with the yellow 383 Challenger R/T vert from Sweden was the same way.

I for one enjoy hearing from our European counterparts. Their stories and how they came about finding their particular Mopar.

Thanks for your input gentlemen.

I have to chime in.

AutoxCuda....1of1 here is rare just it is in the States, except here, its rare to find a car over 5 liters. My buddy has a super rare car, while not 1 of 1, his Challenger will be mine one day Within the next 5 years possibly....I think 11 of his were built but how many are really in existence today hmm??

Don't rain on his parade or the Nordic one.

the OP....Sweet car indeed.
