Can't find anything but US spec heaters though, which won't work with our wall sockets and current. I could always chop it up and use a converter, but I would prefer something that just works as it is.

Any suggestions?
Just how cold does it get in Denmark ???

I thought it was more like our Pacific Northwest (Seattle).

These old Chevys usually start real good down to about -20F (-30C) but do take a while for the carb to warm up enough to run smooth. They will start even colder than that but you need to drive them long enough to recharge the battery or else the next day or the day after they won't crank long enough.
