Wanted- Importing Tips and Advice!
Smithy007:
Had to admit, I was one of the lucky ones that bought it sight unseen. I did however, spend money on an independent inspection and got the seller to send a heap of photos (210 in total) and he was honest sounding from the start.
As said, I was lucky but heard a lot of horrors also. I agree with nifty, get a reputable importer (who does fast boats direct to Aust) to take care of all the paperwork, there are SO MANY things where you can come unstuck and end up having a car impounded for weeks costing you big $$$.
nifty:
or better yet.... why import in the first place? PLENTY of vette for sale in australia.... yours was a bargain smithy.... that was one that HAD to be snapped up... and for whats been done to yours, you got a great deal.
coradict72:
Do yourself a big favour go over and get one yourself then you
can only blame yourself if you pick wrong look further than the red paint
which is a typical resell colour.
Dont trust anyone and stay with the purchase till its shipped

Here is a 1971 C3 convertible auto RHD to be auctioned at Shannons in SYDNEY this month. Estimated price range $ 22000 - 28000
I would not recommend buying one of these vehicles at auction but this car might be worth a close inspection.

Give it a big miss!
Why anybody would devalue a chrome bumper C3 by changing the front clip is beyond me.
