The Maths Pålsson Collection

By April 1982, Björn’s Chevrolet had changed hands to Åke "Lurven" Stenmark and received a gold paint job, as seen in this photo taken by Maths Pålsson.

In late 1982, Åke "Lurven" Stenmark sold the Chevy to Sten-Åke "Stake" Nystedt in Sundsvall, who began restoring it back to its original form. By 1984, most of Björn’s custom modifications had been removed. This photo, taken in July of that year, just a few months after Esa Juhani Muhonen purchased the car, shows the nearly stock appearance. Only the offset rear license plate and the shaved deck lid hint at its former custom legacy. Photo from The Maths Pålsson Collection.
