Hello All!

I've just signed up to the forum and look forward to learning from some of the forum members experiences. I'm looking to import a '68-'72 C3 corvette from the States in the near future and am trying to educate myself about what is involved and how to go about this task. I think I'm getting a pretty good handle on the individual processes but need help in determining how to tie all these processes together.

I guess co-ordinating inspections, finance, shipping and  export/import documentation is where I need help. I'm very keen to learn from fellow Corvette lovers any up to date informtion covering all aspects of the purchase and importation of a vehicle from the US. Tips about where to find vehicles on the net, right the way through to port procedures in Australia are being sought.

Any and all information will be gratefully accepted. I'm searching for a vehicle that is not perfect but has a good chassis and body with decent mechanicals. I can live with a machine that still needs some minor maintenance to get completely roadworthy - It's my first Corvette and Budget is a factor here. Just looking for something that can be registered in NSW with only light maintenance required, and can be driven and enjoyed for a few years before a possible serious restoration.

Please Help!!

Patrick

Welcome.

How about joining the Club and getting to know the members and C3 owners, many of whom do not use this Forum.

Hi Patrick, where are you located?

pjwilliams2:
Firstly, I think I would look at joining joining a club, but probably only once I have made a purchase of a vehicle - then I'll know I really will require the helpful benefits that networking can provide down the line ;eek

Secondly, I live in the Shoalhaven, down Nowra way.

gtc:
Nowra is a bit of a problem, but there are advantages to joining first and letting it be known you are looking. That's what I did.

What's your budget?
