I might be looking at importing a Vette from the US if all goes to plan so I was wondering if anyone might have any experiences, hints or clues for me before hand.The car is in Florida at the moment and is still in the wheeling and dealing stages. Can anyone tell me if shipping items like cars only happens from the west coast or is there the possibility that it can be done form the eastern side?
I have a week to work out if the logistics and cost of getting the vehicle over here are worth the trouble or not. Whadayarekon?
Thanks.
Bob

around 5000 aud was the quote that Corvettes.com.au gave me. Including compliancing.

Ring up that joe's place in SA and the place in QLD. See what they can quote you I guess :).

Brutus.. try these guys.. they will ROLL ON ROLL OFF the car from Most East Coast depot locatons for about US$2200 plus $150 per US$5000 of insurance needed.. that gets it here.. but more to pay on arrival for clearance, quarentine, and tax's..
www.dependableautoshipping.com

If the West coast is needed.. we ship all up .. with all costs expect tax for A$2995 - secured inside container transport, ex LA Bond store to Ex Wollongong. This is a DIRECT shipment LA to Australia... ..not via North Korea, Vancover, Fiji & Dunedon... etc..

I know the answer to question #1 but I ain't sayin' nothing ;39

As for the DVD, the old fart hasn't told me a thing, you have to forgive him, he's old and senile and forgets easily. I'm looking forward to watching it though now that I know he's supposed to send me one. Has the old geezer shared the one I sent with you guys?

Thanks Andy, Bob did tell me the other day he sent a copy of yours over to me so I'm waiting for the mailman to get with it, looking forward to watching it. Feel free to make copies of mine if anyone has a DVD burner. I haven't had much luck getting people to send C3 only video for the DVD I wanted to make, but I'll keep trying.

Andy...I've had more operations than I care to remember. Six months in hospital from a motorcycle prang tends to add a few extras to the list.;eek
Now where would you like to start?:b2
Oh yeah.......my new toy. It's at Scott's place for now and will be until I get over there in September.

If I'd wanted it to be known just yet I would have posted it. You must be a barrel of fun at Christmas time.

Scott81 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2004, 09:33:06 PM »

Andy, I watched the DVD the other day, very nice! I'm betting you have some experience in this unlike myself who is figuring things out as I go. Hopefully the next one I make will turn out a bit better, and yours has given me some good ideas. Excellent job!
