Hello to all Moparheads!

I'm Markus. a Mopar enthusiast from Germany. I bought my Coronet 10 years ago. It's a 440 Hardtop Coupé with an original 383 4bbl and a 727 TF.
This car was driven for 40 years by one owner in Redwood City California.

By the end of the year 2006 the coronet went overseas to germany. This pic was made in January 2007 when I bought ist from an private importer in southern Germany. Still with plastic antenna, and the original full wheel covers.

The next pic was made in August 2008 at the fantastic Mopar Nationals in Herten/Germany.
Meanwhile with the lovely dog dishes. At the Mopar Nationals you can see cars from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg but sometimes also a few from Scandinavia, like Sweden or Finland.

The next pic shows my Coronet in 2016. With 14" road wheels (not Ford magnums), TTI
exhausts, lowered front an last but not least with a new 452 cui stroker engine on a 400 base inclusive a new Hughes Performance transmission.

Meanwhile I have a second Mopar. It's a 1979 Dodge Ramcharger 4WD with a 360 4bbl . It is no b-body, but it also makes a lot of fun. The Ramcharger is rustfree but needs a lot of TLC in the next month. Interieur and a lot of details...

MyCoronet is in a quite good condition. But there is always some work to do. So that is also a good reason to join this great forum.
 
Welcome to FBBO!
It's always good to see someone take such good care of what is obviously a nice car with a great history.
 
Welcome aboard Markus, nice stable of Mopars!
 
Welcome from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
It's nice to see someone enjoying that Dodge across the Atlantic!
 
Hello Markus, welcome to a great mopar site. Nice car and truck.
 
Markus, greetings from Central Illinois. Looking forward to seeing more of each vehicle in the future.

Hey Markus, where in Germany do you hang your hat?
 
Welcome!
Yeah, what area is that?
Spent 2 years stationed in Frankfurt and got around some. Made it to Hockenheimer for the races once. Wish i could have done it again. I was amazed back then how many American muscle cars were living there (30 years ago).

Yes, Hockenheim is a great place to be. Hockenheim is very close to my hometown. We have a lot of dragrace and mopar freaks in Europe. Here are just a few impressions for you from our "home of speed".

Ok, I was stationed in Berlin in the late 70s, early 80s. Lots of Mopars in Germany. I was surprised at the following.
