CL Stuff Anders!!!

Here's a link to a Draglist page w/ some great shots of a buncha' Swedish cars including the Jungle Jim Vega bodied car also other Bjorn Andersson cars..

Is that maybe the same chassis w/ the Opel bodywork about 8 cars down and FEVER on the side?.

Pete, I believe "Fever" is the original Manta they sold before buying JJ´s Vega. Then they built the second Manta using the Vega chassis.

Reading the text again it looks like you're absolutely correct Anders!.

It's all very cool stuff and neat to see some of the action happening in places other than the States and Canada back in the day!.

On a side note, if you've any wisdom on the N. American Sno-Pro Snowmobile Races that were held in Sweden in the late 70's or know of any factory race sleds or parts, I'm all ears...and eyes!!!

Here is a photo of the Opel Manta FC version 1. It was called the Second Invention. When they moved up to the new Manta it was sold to a fellow named Jan Carlsson and they called it Fever.

Interesting stuff! I can almost read that article. They paid $4000 for it, right?

[COPO_Anders]

Tom, they say in the article that 4000 dollar was what you had to pay if you wanted a magnesium Ramcharger 9 1/4" Dana 60 rearend, like the one on the car.

Here is a pic from the Motorama show in Gothenburgh 1978, showing the Jungle Jim FC body with "Canon" on it.

And here are two from 1983 I believe, when Micke Thörn owned the same car with the J.J. FC body.
