I'm from Norway, there wasn't any Mopars racing in here as far as I know, but one of the 26 1967 Shelby Hardtop mustangs where raced here, but then nobody knew how rare it was. The shelby was raced to Promote FoMoCo and was very successfull. The car is now owned by a friend of mine. Just a regular guy that one day discovered that his beat-up-for-sale-mustang was worth is't weight in gold! Take a look here if you are interessed in American cars racing in europe.http://people.freenet.de/pony/bdjonne.htm I also attach a picture of how the car is today, it's beeing restored.

There was a Hemicuda racing in Sweden, reportedly, back in the early eighties. This is the only photo I've managed to acquire. It was raced in England, sold to someone in Sweden and raced, then it was allegedly sold to someone in the US. Its present owner is unknown. Have you ever heard of or seen pictures of this car from its racing days in Sweden?? Back to top SwedishEbody2-80.jpg « Last Edit: 12/10/05 at 7:03pm by GURSAVSKI » woulda, 'cuda, shoulda!!!

But, then again, I'm from the early eigths myself, so I might be to young to know about it. Back to top The Rapid Transit System. Coming through.

Back to top My message board at www.dodgechallenger.org.uk IP Logged GURSAVSKI Global Moderator Posts: 218 Gender: Re: AAR CUDA RACING IN EUROPE Reply #37 - 01/03/06 at 7:47pm This 1971 Hemicuda (with a 1970 grille) was raced in France while owned by Henri Chemin and, later by, Marie Laurent. At the end of the 1974 racing season, Marie Laurent sold the car to Christopher Lawrence of Great Britain. Tony Lanfranchi drove this unwieldy beast through the 1975 British Saloon Car Championship season. He described his unsuccessful experience with the Hemicuda as "a disaster". In later years, the car passed through others' hands, and is believed to currently reside in Sweden. In 1974, another (different) Hemicuda was raced unsuccessfully in Britain, driven by Gordon Spice. Any speculation as to where this car may be? Perhaps this is the car you are referring to, Dave? Either way, it's a shame. Like me: a day late and a dollar (or pound sterling) short!!

I don't know how much interest there is in these photos or in the information, so I appreciate your feed-back. Thank you. Unfortunately, I've been distracted from looking through more of the race results for the Hemicudas' competitors. As a New Year's resolution, I'll promise to try to list some of that information soon. (Well, before the end of 2006, anyway! ) To the best of my (very limited) knowledge, there were no Challengers competing in the European Saloon Car or Touring Car series. if anyone has information to the contrary--- please post it here, thanks.
