Hello from Portugal

[Paulo Carvalho]

Hi
I own the only typhoon registered in Portugal.
It is from 1993, and was imported new in 1993 to Portugal, through Germany.
It has 29.000 miles.
All stock.
What a great truck.

Where are you in Portugal? I spend a lot of time in Faro and American cars are super rare there. I recall being with a local and seeing a totally beat mid-1980's V6 firebird and they talked about it like it was a hemi-Cuda.

Yes.
That´s true
We Europeans love American classics
A few month ago, I traded My 05 Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2.0 for this Typhoon.
Imagine that.
Americans here are so rare that My 85 S-10 Blazer is the only one registered in Portugal too.
Taxes are very high for imported cars with high ci pos 1970.
If I imported this Typhoon from US right now, I would pay €40.000 tax to register here plus €1.000 per year.

And gas is not cheap here too.

We have 6 types of gas...
low cost, regular and premium, 95 octanes and 98 octanes.

Cheaper one is EUR1.60/L

about EUR 6.2/gallon

about USD 7.2/gallon

Thats why they are pretty rare too

Bem vinda(google)
nice trade off! Keep it stock for reliability. Give Cristiano Ronaldo a run for his money
If you see him driving his Cayenne.
