Howdy! Since last week I am the proud owner of a 1971 Gran Sport 455 Stage-1 by TriShield Performance! In Germany this is a really rare car. You are the true eye-catcher on the road, if you either cruise along relaxed slowly or accelerate incredibly smoothly. And remember: on the German Autobahn there is no speed limit Sandro
Yes, this is the standard size in Germany. However, only a temporary license plate with a validity of a few days is mounted on the car, so that the car can be transferred after the purchase. Meanwhile I have an allowance for a license plate according to US size.
Welcome from Schweinfurt. Did you buy the car here in Germany? I believe I saw an ad sometime ago, stating that the engine was done by TSP. Congratulation, nice looking car.
Herzlich willkommen... according to google translate. Your car looks just like mine (minus the spoiler).
Welcome from Tampa Bay Florida! I was stationed at Rhein Main 76 to 78. I restored a 64 Chevelle and a 70 BMW while I was in Germany.
Yes, indeed. This car was announced some months ago. The car belonged to an owner in Switzerland for a long time before the last owner in Western Germany. Possibly originally registered in Canada, because already metric speedometer etc.
If it was sold in Canada originally, you have access to the originating documents notwithstanding it is a 71 model. I have personally experienced a few high speed passes on the German Autobahn. The noisiest was by a couple of motorcycles. The worst, however, is in Paris where the motorcycles pass at high speed in between the cars when all the lanes are already full. They maybe have 6 to 18 inches to clear the cars on both sides.
Google when Canada went metric... I think that will suprise you. Maybe the car was built in Switzerland?
wikipedia: "Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and ceased in 1985." No, in Switzerland they produce tasty cheese, but not THAT kind of cars
