71 sassy RR over here in UK.

Post by sassy stu » Mon Oct 19, 2009 5:03 pm

Hi Guys
Thought I would send you some pics of my RR. Been in the UK since 1990.
Arrived in tor red but discovered to be original FJ6 car only couple of years ago.The guy I bought it from repainted it Sassy Grass.
Typical car, few owners in UK everyone going on about it not being matching numbers engine etc nobody realised its true colour until decoded properly. Now has 493 stroker, TTIs, looks stock, goes like hell. :D
Has original vehicle owners ID, bought 1/26/1971 from Williams Motors, Rock HIll, South Carolina.
Milage 62.000. What you see in pics is how she came out of factory apart from added trunk spoiler.
Had lots of Mopar over the last 25 years started with 72 Charger SE, 69 RT, 70 coronet RT, lIft of hood 69 RR, 340 72 Cuda, 70 V code Superbird, 58 300D efi, 68 Hemi super bee, 68 pro mod bee, ended up with this gorgeous 71.
I can honestly say that this is the best Mopar I have ever owned.

Stuart

Was the second picture taken at the Uk Mopar Nationals? When does that show usually take place? Most of my family is in Scotland and England, maybe a good time to take a vacation (or a Holiday :wink: ) while the show is on :D

The picture was taken at Brooklands Racetrack (the worlds first oval track) last spring, organised by the Mopar Muscle Association.The Mopar Euro Nationals are held on the last weekend in July. It will be our 17th event next year.I have been one of the judges there for a few years and have been to all the events bar 1 when the Hemi Bee was out for repairs.Would be nice to see American Mopar owner at the Nats, although we did have Al Ekstrand attend many years ago when he aquired his old 66 Hemi Charger. do also Attend many Mopar meetings across Europe and have lots of Mopar buddies in Germany Belgium and Holland.
Where abouts in England are your family?

Being from the UK, you need to get an 8.0 Liter engine emblem to let those Cafe racers know here they stand!! Welcome..
