    i bought the car like it is...means he was built up in germany during the 90`s

    we have here very hard laws to get such cars on the road, but it is TÜV approved (german lic) and thats one of the best things to get it here on the road

    and its importent, steel body on original frame....helps a lot, here is it not possible now, to have fibergl*** cars with aftermarked frames ....its not possible anymore...

    @rustygem, i drove years ago trough yosemite :) hehehe

    Regards

  7. Welcome From Minnesota. Beautiful car.
    If a Hot rod p***es Geman laws it must be a darn good car. Very safe and road worthy.

    Welcome Celli, my first car was a 40 coupe back in 1962! Nothing like that style, how big is American hot rodding in your coutry? I guess it's easy to take our sport for granted here at home, with national events in the thousands. Drive the wheels off that coupe!

    Hod rodding here isnt that big...cause of the laws to be legal and to get a license plate for the cars...getting slowly a little bigger ;)

    i dont know how much Hot and street rods we have here....some dozens maybe, but the us car scene is more or less big regarding on the size of our country, so our biggest us car meeting has more than 2000 cars.....and switzerland only 7 million people

    and i guess we have some realy rare cars here aswell.....in the earlier times there where many cars imported and we had some fabrication companys (GM >Biel, Dodge> Schinznach) which finished the cars directly here...

    Welcome! Where in Switzerland are you? Have lived in Florida for the last 11 years, but still go back once a year or so. Originally from Schwyz but lived in Zuerich before moving over here.
    Nice 40 but would personally change wheels and billet stuff. Congrats on getting it through vehicle inspection!
