Racecars shipped to Sweden back in the day.

In Start & Speed #3 1977 we are told that Dale Armstrong had sold the 1975 Vega FC earlier driven by Chris Christensen, to Kurt Andersson, Sweden.

Hi Ron ! That´s a god pic of Russo´s Rat. When I searched for it on the internet I got a lead to Romania. Do you know what happened to it ?
Tell me about some of the cars you had, also !

Since Sam doesn´t want to see more of the racecars we bought back then, I have decided to save his weekend by showing some Street-Mustangs that visited Mantorp Park Raceway. Most of these pics where taken at the same event in 1974-75 so they are all different cars I think.

Here are some more from the same event, and a couple from the late seventies/early eighties.

To continue the Ford theme, here is a pro stock Maverick that Dyno Don sold to Lasse Flodman in 1975. Lasse also bought the truck to transport the Maverick with.

When Tage and Björn had sold the Manta with the JJ-chassis, Björn bought this Ken Cox Racecars-built Monza from California.

Hey Sam ! This is the guy responsible for a lot of the anger you are feeling.
Marty Furlipa worked under the name of "East Coast Export" and he exported lots of racecars, engines and other parts to Sweden. He lived in Linden Street, Lodi, New Jersey.
The Mustang is the second Dyno Don-racecar Lars Flodhman bought. Marty had it repainted at Cirkus Paint in N.Y.
In the article (May 1976) it says that he, by the same time, also found a S.R.D-built (Speed, Research & Development)-73 or -74 Vega for some other guys in Sweden. The seller of this Vega was Bob Ingles.
