I'm usually not going to mixed meets so I don't really know but I think there are indeed more Ford and GM cars then mopars in Europe. But maybe some other european folks can say more about that!

A relatively staggering number of cars have made their way across the pond and it's fun to see you guys/gals enjoying them the way you do. Where's Klause these days???

This may offend some but I've never been accused of being shy.... the respect for the cars is not the same there as it is here
Well, let me see... How many times have I seen someone sitting on a C-body fender? A few, yes.
And how many times have I seen a C-body Demo Derbied here? Uhmm... Zero point zero I guess.
So yes, the respect for these cars is not the same here.
Sorry Dave, I'm not very shy either, LOL
Americans can be hard on German cars also.....

Bad argument, and a silly attempt. A derby guy has no love for the car he destroys. I wouldn't sit on my car, I've seen too many pictures and videos of how they're treated over there. Much like they were treated here when they were used cars...
They're .more than used cars to me
No, not really... My point, my friends, is that in every nation there are some who don't respect cars as they should. Most of us here in Europe do as most of you in NA do.
You just simply can't put one nation above the other.

different from european country to country.
But all countrys have more GMs than Mopars.
Ford has the Mustang which is plentifull but if you overview it than the amount of Galaxies is probably less compared to full size Mopars in germany
But the Mopar following in germany is pretty good percentagewise in europe.

Hi Julian,
around 30% of the cars at the Nats were C-bodies.
There are not many A-bodies around when you count them.
The amount of B-bodies is high
Carsten
So among fulls sized cars Mopar C bodies are king !
Yessssssssss ... wait ... what?

the brown 300 is an all original paint unrestored low mileage car.
The owner, Pat -a great guy-, has it since many years and takes good care of it.
No man with a good car needs to be justified

How is the respect for C-bodies in the US?
In the last 20 years most of my B-&E-Body friends in the states saw them as engine donors. Is that respect?
How bout all the owners that did let them sit outside and rot into the ground? Their own car culture and heritage?
The demo derby guys are often Mopar guys, too.
They know exactly what they are doing
But they all have one thing in common. They are US americans.
The amount of americans who love C-bodies and treat them well is comparativly small in the US.
There is this board here full of enthusiasts for C-bodies. Compare the amount of members with FBBO ie. It is a small group.
And instead of sticking together -as a small group of enthusiasts should- you start a pissing each other contest.

I remember this car (with '78 M & B-body wheels) being discussed here when it was in California.
And I see the point I would have made... More C-bodies at the German Nats than in the US... Has already be made. I certainly don't have a problem sending them to other parts of the world. We do stupid things like this:
