Maybe the car was for sale in France, and a Swiss man bought it there, so the car had the Zurich license plate.

...in case of my Demon:
'91' stands for 'Demon' and it was car number 75 built (of 96)
We have done some research in the European mopar forum - alas most official data of AMAG Schinznach are lost - and this are our findings/conclusions so far:
12 = Chrysler Imperial (VIN noch mit 10 Ziffern)
12 = Plymouth 4Door
13 = Plymouth 2Door
32 = Chrysler Valiant 4Door (VIN noch mit 10 Ziffern)
42 = Chrysler Valiant 4Door
50 = Chrysler Valiant Sport Coupe
60 = Dodge Challenger
80 = Dodge Dart 2Door
91 = Dodge Demon
93 = Dodge Dart 4Door

No, I presume '12' was for Import cars generally in these years:
Instead of motor number there was only the type mentioned.
Maybe '989' is the running number for all imported cars - the tag above is from a later (1969) - imported Plymouth.
And this tag is from an 65 Imperial with a lower serial number:
...and in 1970 they had to start with '13' because of running out of digits:

There was a great meeting in the former assembly plant in Schinznach last weekend.
More here:
Swiss produktion plant Schinznach
There were four Schinznach Demons (including mine).
In truth I expected some more.... 96 were built then....

Hi Marvin
This red Demon is awesome
Is it a "Chrysler" logo on the trunk lid instead of a "Dodge" one?

Yes, but there were two red ones: The one with Chrysler on the trunk was in mediocre shape - the rear bumper was from a Valiant Sport and it has a 71 front, the other red one was in great shape:

Oh yes, I didn't notice the two different licence plates (Vaud canton vs Argovie canton)
I suppose that the Chrysler logo isn't original and is an owner modification?

Very interesting find in the net:
A 1972 folder listing all options, exterior and interior colors.

A very clean Schinznach Survivor popped up - actually for sale in Switzerland:
Interesting bumper guards, never seen that on a 72 bumper. But as you know, these cars have a lot of weird things on them. I love the recarro seats in mine, very comfortable.

...and the same 'jacket for the jack':
...and extra brake lights in the rear bumper.
Watch out for that pacman ghost on the building behind your car. Looks friendly enough, but you never know.
