My friend that you se sometime at this forum is the “swede” and he told me to make a presentation of me and my car.
I’m living in Stockholm Sweden with my family and I am soon 58 years old.
My interest of cars started when I was a little boy and I bought my first car in 1970 and since that year I have had 21 cars and it has been a lot of repairing and rebuilding and a lot of fun thrugh the years.
My first visit to America was in 1977 with 3 friends and we travelled around most on the west coast for five weeks.
We saw a lot of nice cars and I bought me a Road Runner 383 HP from 1977 in LA, Torrance and took it back with me to Sweden. The next visit I bought me a lot of engine parts at Reath Automotive, Long Beach. I had some nice years with that car.

For a long time now I have missed the time in the garage and oil on my fingers……
Some times I've had thoughts to by me a Spider and now I have. A Spider from 1977
A Swedish guy was working some years in LA and he bought it from one who worked with yachts. He brought it back to Sweden and in that time it was beige but now it is dark green again as it was from the factory.

I've allready done a lot of work with it and i love it!
My next project is to change the windscreen.
Now it has been a lot about me and I hope that you will understand my bad English.
I have already got some help from Mark Allison in LA and Stefan in Stuttgart about my Western Wheels. Thank you !
Best regards
Claes
