Mopar club of Germany and France

[Robert Schaad]

I lived in Germany for about 20 years. There is a MOPAR club of Germany and France. A lot of great cars there. I was a member of the German Mopar Club. Here is some information that most Americans DO NOT KNOW. I purchased a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda built in Zurach Switzerland. Yes Built there. During the sixties and sometime into the seventies, Mopars were assembled in Switzerland. The parts/bodies/engines were shipped there and assembled. They had Bosch ignition systems, with Kilimeter Dashes. My 69 cuda had 300 on the speedometer. Looking closely you could se the KH stamped on it. Not MPH but KH. So cool.

I added this to my story. Google Chryslers made in Switzerland and you will see my story is correct.

Are you sure about built there(?) or imported? Good story either way.

Not sure that Plymouth built any Barracudas in Switzerland.

Production 1964–1974
Assembly

• Fenton, Missouri (Saint Louis Assembly)
• Hamtramck, Michigan, (Dodge Factory)
• Maywood, California, (Los Angeles Assembly)
• Windsor, Ontario, Canada (Windsor Assembly)

Assembled in Europe maybe? Must have been a secret project......

Doubtful though. We would have heard about that long ago.

The reason I even mentioned it, is that I purchased a 1969 340 fast back barracuda in Switzerland. It had 300 on the Speedometer, bosch ignition system, NO side marker lights. The story is true.

What makes you think we would have heard about it? The internet was not around. Computers were just starting. Collector cars were not even mentioned in those days. Car companies did not even publish statistics.

By the way, look up Chrysler assembled in Switzerland and you can read the fact that I am correct with my story.
