What can I say? There are different levels of this hobby, that´s for sure! I think I will let the pic´s speak for themselves. All of these cars are owned by one single guy!

I had the same idea myself. Too much is not necessarily better. Nice kind of problems though.

Incredible, I wish I had that "problem", hey Christer what is that "box' on the firewall of the orange 70 Challenger R/T with the chrome air cleaner, next to the fastback mustang? It has a "hose" going to it? Washer bottle? BTW, at Musclecarrestorations, there is also a "one man show" as one guy owns more than 50% of the Chrysler products they have restored.

That is a good question. I don´t know. Over-flow bottle for the cooling system? I am quite sure that it is something home-made.

Windshield washer bottle by the look of it.

Hmm. interesting. He sure has a lot to keep himself busy. I have three vehicles, 2 trucks and the Challenger, I couldn't imagine having anymore. I do something almost everyday to keep them maintained, cleaned,repaired(they are Dodges).
Thanks for the pics Christer, I am still drooling

If he only had a single daughter
I'd be the perfect son-in-law.

Shit! I would marry him myself for all those cars!
I could stand the pain if he could stand the price as my father always said.

Oh, did I forget to mention that he also got six kids and three dogs? don´t you believe me? It became toooo obvious, right?
(I am just joking, I have no idea of how private life is.)

Did you take these photos? It looks like his collection is scattered amongst many shops/garages.
Also looks like they're all drivers

No, it would be an impossible thing for me to do.
I would drool like a cow
and shake like a leave late in the autumn
. Just impossible.

www.moparsweden.com )

That last pic has really freaked me out , but looking at the detail bits , I'm not 100% sure now. See if some of you eagle eyed Chally fans can spot the differences
Pic 1 same as above - in Sweden Nov 2007
The rest of the pics are of my old one in England 2005 - May 2007

The fat-tony-challenger-clone (the swedish Challenger) does not seem to have any antenna and it looks as if it has a non-rallye left-hand mirror (...and no right-hand outer mirror). Did I pass the inspection?

I think I am right in saying that was the one restored by Richard Ward in Manchester? I have not seen that car since it was finished in 2005.

I am quite sure you are right. The only facts I have is that the car was bought from the UK in 2007.
