Dodge Chargers In Iceland !

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

Hello,


I'm 16 years old from Iceland and I have a Big Thing for Mopar/Muscle Cars ! 


Here are some pictures of Chargers in my Country.

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

This Charger came to Iceland in 1973.

welcome to the site. nice pic's

[bull]

Welcome. Did they only let 69s in?

[nvrbdn]

are those snow tires on the front of the black one with the side pipes?

[528HemiZach]

Welcome!

Are you close to Keflavic?  The U.S. had an air base there at one time I remember (a friend was stationed there in the late 80's) F-15s I think.

[Iceyone]

I was stationed in Keflavik from Jan 2000- Mar 2003. Worked at the TV/Radio station on base. Never saw a single Charger there, even when they had car shows on the base. Saw lots of Ladas.

[Fred]

Welcome Mate. So are you saving hard to by yours?
What are you hoping to get?

Thanks for your comments guys 



No, they did not only let '69 Chargers in haha.


I have a lot of pictures of '66-'74 Chargers 


This is the same Charger that came to Iceland in '73

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

He has not been in traffic since 1990 


And the owner of him refuses to sell him  And for 10 years he always say this: I'm going to restore him. But nothing happens 

[nvrbdn]

stay with it, one day he will finally say "ok its time to let go" then you will win.

  Did they pick the poor thing up by it's sway bar   ?

 And Welcome.  

[charger Downunder]

Welcome and good luck getting this one. If its sitting outside wont be long and it will be gone to rust. I bet it will end up as scrap and he wont sell it to someone to fix up, but rather send it to the scrap yard in the end.

where is the iceland?

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

Thank you guys for the comment 



The Charger has not been tin traffic since 1990 and has been sitting outside for about 12 years now 



If I get it he is going to look like this

This is the same Charger... photo taken in 1980 

[nvrbdn]

a rear quarter antena? 

[irish_in_ny]

Did Dodge ever sell Chargers in Iceland? I know some countries had cars imported in limited numbers (They did this with the Dodge Monaco in Switzerland, I do believe for the 74-75 model years.)
More than likely though, I guess they were all imported from the US?

Yes, most of them are from 1970's and 1980's.



About 20 of came to Iceland back in the day, and only 3 of them survived 



But there is a '69 Charger being restored. But the owner won't let anyone see it.


So i have no much information about that

Ya i was referring to recent charger pictures of todays time.  The reason why i love Chargers is because of the DOH.

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

The weather in my country is very bad often, cold, rain and snow 



And yes, there is a Mopar Club in Ieland that is called Kvartmíluklúbburinn.



There are 4 Chargers in a junkyard 

[Magnumcharger]

Can you get pictures of the Chargers in the junkyard??

[nvrbdn]

yep, if they are still there see if you can get some shots.

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

I only have pictures of these 2.

[Fred]

[nvrbdn]

[1969 Dodge Charger R/T]

And now we value them above all else. And pay a fortune for the junk that's around.
How foolish we were back then to dispose of them so readily. (me included)
