Re: Funnycars in Sweden
Hey Sammy ! Here is another nice car that was shipped over here. This Vega came here in 1977 and if you exclude some decals that were put on the car in Sweden, this is what it looked like when it was shipped from the USA. It had a CSB and a fourspeed. Pic is from the small Vårgårda airport that was sometimes used as a dragstrip. Does anyone remember this Vega ?

Racecars shipped to Sweden
This photo shows Bob Taylor and his Vega at a warm up at OCIR before the 1980 Winternationals. The Vega was later sold to Trenneman in Sweden. Eiward & Forsberg also owned it at one point, and it is also known as the M & M car over here. This photo was shared on Facebook in a swedish street and dragracing group.

Re: Funnycars in Sweden
They are not the same cars.
The Swedish one look a lot simpler, more like a Street conversion. Remember Motion sold Vega kits, and so did Don Hardy in Texas. I would assume it is something like that. The MIMI car is a pure Pro Stocker. And look at the paint scheme, not the same. Jan

Brooklyn Heavy Duster
Jimmie Gunnarsson who once owned the Brooklyn Heavy Duster still has this part of the windshield. This is culture !
