Finally got the pics up from this years trip, hope you guys enjoy them! Again more than 10,000 cars attending, here are some of the highlights.

After taking the 10-hour ferry ride from Finland to Sweden you land in Stockholm. One of my favorite cities in the world, here's a pic from old town;



Lots of water, trees and open spaces throughout the city;



But for a car geek it is often a must to get inside, here is one of the main US car dealers in town;









Well, can't goof around all day! The meet is in Västerås, 60 miles west of Stockholm. A nice scenic drive.



One of the first cars we saw was this beautiful 1958 Fury from the Åland isles;





My girlfriends favorite during the meet was this Buick fastback (she loves late 40:s-early 50:s Buicks)























Johnny Rosen might be a familiar name to some of you...now he has landed in Europe?





Lots of vendors carrying Forward Look stuff as usual





Newer MoPar goodies





Swedish craftsmanship, not in our tastes though...we really hate the Amish wagon wheels in general...



More coming up!

I'm constantly amazed by what I find on the internet of the interest in U.S. muscle cars "over there." Must be an incredible challange to get parts and so on.

Part 2;

I just about hate travel trailers but love Airstreams...go figure?



Just the thought of the New Yorker towing the polished Airstream makes you smile!



These German dudes made some pretty interesting sculptures;



3100 mile Hemi Coronet!





Gassers rule!











This gorgeous 300D used to belong to resto parts guru Gary Goers for a long time;























This Duster came from Poland;





4-sp Hemi from Switzerland;















Halfway there!

Awesome pics thanks!

Part 3;

The friendly people at Autotek had a 24 hour open house during the meet as always;































The highlight of the meet for me...although we don't like convertibles as it takes away from the design lol!





























A Volvo with big wheels? Well, this one has a few surprises...







Very cool 40:s Hot Rod!





Still more coming!

Part 4;











Gorgeous Chevy truck, very rare to see an original resto on a truck this new here



















Nostalgia Corner is a meeting place for young and old created by a guy into American cars since the 60:s. The guy is quite a character.





Always lots of cool stuff on display and for sale there



And suddenly Ola himself just had that unexplainable feeling to burn some rubber





American patriotism has no borders;



Gotta go to work, more stuff including the little MoPar meet on Saturday night coming up. Be back in 30 hours or so. Thanks for looking!

Hans

Sure is a pretty place and some very nice cars. Thanks for the pictures.

So what do they do for gas (petro). Do the gas stations have different octains like we do in the states. No lead gas? Do they put in new valve seats? What do you have to go through to run a musclecar or hotrod around the EU?

Thanks for the pics.

some very nice pictures! keep them coming! i was there also and as usual had lots of fun:)

And suddenly Ola himself just had that unexplainable feeling to burn some rubber



It looks like this unexplainable feeling came over him many times.....lol

I always enjoy looking at your photos. The quality of the images are AMAZING and the variety of cars is incredible. There were many that made me

Thanks for taking time to post them.

Joe

More please.

I heard about this show several years ago and would LOVE to attend it sometime

Thanks for posting

Is there a website for that particular car show for next time? I would love to get there and be in attendance....Are all the cars of Stockholm? I would love to drive the Charger up there but I dont think I would be brave enough to put it on a boat...

Thanks for the kind words guys, more pics coming up in a moment!

Regarding octane levels we have 95 and 98 octane unleaded but I can't remember how that translates to the US classification. I think it is pretty much the same you have at the pump?

The legislation varies quite a lot inside the EU regarding modified cars Sweden being among the most liberal.

Here is the website for the meet;

Pyper, no need for you to put your car on a ferry anymore as they built this huge bridge from Denmark to Sweden;

The cars are from all of Sweden and about 20 European countries. The meet is very international. I think there was once an American dude with his own car even! Would be a pretty cool ride from Greece! There is another meet you might consider though, the biggest MoPar meet in Sweden at Orsa during the Classic Car Week in Rättvik. Lots of activities during a whole week and there are caravans of muscle Mopars coming from Stockholm and Malmö (your way). Check these out;

Part 5

Saturday evening had the little MoPar Sweden meet as usual, mostly familiar cars from before but always some interesting new entries too.

























Carsten is from Moparts, sorry we missed you dude!

















The way things used to be..with a 4-sp Hemi no less!

























Still some left!

Part 6

Uhh, this trend is very disturbing, nice 50:s cruisers with chrome or huge gangsta wheels;







Umm,gotta get me one of them cool pistol grips...



As last year cops seem to be determined to stop the 20-year old burnout tradition that has been going on in this parking lot. A major part (although unofficial)of the meet seems to be gone forever.



1972 B-bodies are really rare here







BigBlockHead gave us the pleasure of cruising around in his 1962 Imperial Crown. Thanks again dude, we appreciated it a lot! Here some finns get a jumpstart from him;



Sunday morning,the party is over;



Some pics from Västerås center;











Driving south from Västerås we stopped in Eskilstuna to look at some old industrial buildings we both love...gotta find something like this on a smaller scale one day...









We were about to leave when we noticed this little gem of a museum. http://munktellmuseet.volvo.com/ I always wondered what the BM means on some of Volvo construction equipment...turns out it is Bolinder-Munktell. Lots of cool stuff on display in a beautiful setting.



















A bit closer to Stockholm we stopped at Mariefred for some refreshments. Unfortunately no time to take a closer look at the beautiful castle.



Pretty cool 17th/18th century rooftops seen from our hotel room in Stockholm. Sea view too, Im no cheapskate, lol!





Closer to home we decided to take the scenic route, we had a great time and hope you guys enjoyed the photos! Thanks for looking!







Hans

some very nice pics!
that 4speed HEMI GTX has an evil twin also dont know if you have seen it? its a 68-70something blown 4speed hemiGTX gonvertible also looking like its been taken right out of the 70s!
ever thought about joining the party at the campingplace?

Wow! I can't believe all the forward look Mopars, and so many of them being converts. Now we know where they all have been hiding.
