Our Chrysler was brought to Finland in 1991 by Finnish drag race driver Jarmo Gronman, (at that time he raced a stock six-pack Challenger). The engine in the Chrysler then was a 440 Magnum from a R/T Charger.
During the years the Chrysler was "cannibalized" for parts and when the car came to us, it was without the engine, transmission and rear axle.
I think it was year 1996 when we got the car.
So we took engine etc. from our 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 4Door sedan.
(The Coronet was quite a sleeper: it ran 13.6/ 169 km/h 1/4 Mile....)
Keep crusin' the Finnish countryside and try not to run over too many pesky econoboxes and jellybean cars! . :-)
