Thanks Jethro

All going well it will be shipped from East Coast ( its currently inland about 200kms ) then truck it to LA in about 2 weeks
From there we will do the normal container ( shared ) sea freight so another 6-7weeks before I get my hands on it ...

I will be in touch when it gets a little closer and definitely will bring it down to Chris at SMS

@ Jethro - I am in the Blue Mountains ( near Springwood ) and hoping to join your crew very soon with my Family.
I might pop down on Sunday as you are guys are close to me and say hello.

Bought the plates today so now its a waiting game and hoping a empty container doesn't turn up ... 
We have a few things to get right but its nothing major and it had a full strip down back in 2005 in Arizona and only done 31000 since it ...

Just ticked over 41 so yes its my mid life crisis and a expensive one I am sure ... 

Cheers Chris ( 73CVET )

Using this system and not roll on roll off (roro)
Got a few more bucks but will reduce the damage. ( hopefully)

Any other members used this system or know of it ?

Cheers

Here is the strip down Jethro - could only load this pic up ( seems a limit on upload space )

[Jethro]

Shyte I hope its a long way past that strip down Chris 

[69CVET]

Yes mate hope it does not arrive like this or I will be in trouble ( and divorced from the Mrs ) .... 

[Jethro]

So you going to the Bulli Beach Breaky Run next sunday Chris ?

[69CVET]

Are you guys heading to Nepean Rowers this Sunday ?
If so I will pop down and say hello ( but will have the Mrs 1972 XJR Jag with us , its no comparison to the Vetts though and also works in progress )

All going well the Vette should leave East Coast late next week bound for LA

Here is some before and after's , still work to do but its the normal fiddly items ( Windows / Brakes / Handles / Lights  etc... )
and long past the strip down .....

mate If you can find out approximate when your car was actually manufacture
if it was manufactured in 1972 I would put that on your rego in as in australia cars are determined by date of manufacture.
it will help you if the car aw actually produced in 1972

From the docs I have , it appears it was first registered in 1/1973 , but you maybe right
DOM maybe earlier ?

mate by our laws  if the serial Numbers line up for 12/72 production or early you can argue it is of  1972 manufacture
Hence a lot less BS to get it registered
I would pursue that as vigorously as possible

Well spotted 

I have a 73 vert with the 80-81 front end, so it's something I notice

Forget the first registered date. Give me the VIN number and I will tell you the month manufactured, in my opinion it will be more advantageous to use this.

[69CVET]

I will PM it to you Reserve
cheers
