Hi I´m not in sweden but north germany, with the ferry its 8 hours to sweden. If you cant find somebody there let me know. I can check the car there.
Texas Swede knows all the car guys in Sweden!😁
GrÄstorp is 2 hours south of my location. The problem is that I live in Norway, and at the moment the border to Sweden is closed do to Covid 19. Do have connections in that area that might help. Let me know.

Unfortunately, I don't know any Mopar guys in Sweden after 33 years in the US.

You have probably already tried this ? Mopar Club of Sweden, perhaps you are looking for some one not linked to them, to get a
independent non biased opinion ?

Thank you guys , i got contact from two persons who inspected the car in the past , i have all four last owners names and phone numbers, historic since 2008 when it was imported in Sweden , a link in a auction in 2011 when it was for sale then, it looks nice on picture but it looks like it's a driver , old resto aging, no documentation what so ever...fortunatly original fender tag is there , added wing and power disc brakes ,no axle options...
on plus :it s matching number , super combo color ,looks like a solid car no rust car (i have no infos for body panel replacement) vin numbers are there and torque boxes ...
had change owners many time and the last one bought it last year , it's over priced 95 000.00 in this condition.And i know myself i ll have to improve it and spend more ...
Still need to see it in person and with covid it's impossible ...i think i ll wait i m not on chasing now , it s just it showed up and it could have been a nice opportunity...
it's impressive how fast informations are moving via FB, forums,today !!!!
thank you again.
Claims to have only about 6400 miles from new!
John what about the mopar guy north east of stockholm that we bought the GG original boss 429 from as he had several rare mopars so i bet he would know that car?
Your question reminded me of this one I saw in Copenhagen a few years ago, it was bizarre ::) with murals and a multi coloured
interior.

Oh yeah! Several collections around Scandinavia.
Last pic shows a Swedish Hemi and a Norwegian Boss 429. Photo from the 1983. The Boss was later exported back to the US. Hemi is still in Sweden.

Power Big Meet, mostly US made cars. Was there many years ago. My car was around #6000 trough the gates on Saturday. It used to be a Friday to Sunday event.

Real interest and a passion for style!
Back in the 70's, US cars was cheap and was imported in the 10000's to Sweden.
Sweden also had a large group of «raggare». Read more about it here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raggare
That group was known for driving US made cars, lots of alcohol and most girls was not safe!
You also have to remember, Swedish car production was Volvo and SAAB. Not much inspiration in that design and with astmatic engines. No wonder US made cars with a lot of chrome and bright colours was in hot demand.
For the last 30 years a number of cars has been exported from Sweden /Norway back to the US.
Hemis, even hemi convertible, Boss 429, Shelbys, Thunderbolt, Hemi Barracuda, 427 Galaxies etc.
Interesting a raggare in swedon back then must have been like our hippies back in 60s 70s.
