Witamy. Welcome to the forum.
My parents are originally from Poland and I have some cousins in Warsaw.
It's nice to see G-body cars and other muscle cars coming out of Poland.
Thank you for posting pictures. Nice cars.

Where do you manage to find parts over there?
Gin dobre.

Welcome from Pennsylvania. I am half Polish, my great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1920s. Very cool cars, I'm sure they garner a lot of attention in Europe.

So, dzien dobry everybody 😉

You see the pictures? Cause I see only red crosses after uploadibg them thru tapatalk...

We have a nice uscars community here, some good mechanics and part sources (not so much for Gbodies). New parts we buy mostly from for ypu well known summitracing, dixie etc.

My Malibu is a frame off full restoration of a car what was new transported to Switzerland (1 month after produced in USA and 0 miles). It even has a new vin plate with Switzerland as the land of origin 🙂

It has the stock 305 engine with new heads with bigger intake valve and full porting, new kit from compcams with a 260/260 0.44/0.44 cam. New headers, pumps almost everything is new original or more perfomance like.

The whole red interiour will be made in red leather (whole dash and door and trunk panels) without the seats what have the original and like new material.

I know that I put a fortune in it but I want the car "Viole👎t Dream" to stay with me.

The Camaro is a 383 stroker with t56 and also full restoration and everything new in it. Its a more highpower toy 430 hp without Nitrous shot and the Malibu should be the family cruiser with expected 220-230 hp.

The cars are very rare here in Europe but we have many very good cars here that would be a show car even in the States. A friend drives a 800 hp Shelby Mustang, another one has a 700hp C4 turbo and a c6 biturbo. Many 4rd gen Fbodies with over 400 hp. Its not boring here 🙂

Have a nice day!

Thank you, or dziekuje.
I had no idea that there was such an active interest in American iron in Poland.
We did have a member from Poland with an El Camino...this was several years ago.

You'll have to keep us updated on your wagon progress...and post some pics of car shows, cruise-ins, etc. We would be very interested.

Thank you for posting the videos, Raga.
Again, I had no idea that there was that much interest in American cars. When I think of Poland, I always thought of Trabants, Ladas, Skodas, Fiats, etc. Never would picture Corvettes, Mustangs, US police cars, and various muscle cars, vintage Chevys, Fords, Buicks, Mopars, etc.
This has certainly opened up my mind.

By the way, where is that park located? Looks like a nice location for a car show.

Jack, theres a ton of US cars in Europe. Back when I was going to Spring and Fall Carlisle every year there was a whole group of buyers from Europe that would purchase a load of cars to ship back and sell. One of my high school friends sold a 55 Chevy to a guy from Germany. I actually met the guy at a local car show just before he shipped the car back. He told me there were plenty of Camaros and Vettes in Germany. Brought over by guys stationed there that were in the military. When they came back to the states, they sold the cars instead of paying to have them shipped back. Im thinking it would be a lot of fun taking a Vette out on the Autobahn !
