the two things you need up front before any shipping
1 a certified supplier in the US that will certify that there is NO asbestos in the car
2 import approval  form the ( https://infrastructure.gov.au/vehicles/imports/  ) have a read here
when you have found the car , them jump these two hurdles first.

Whatever you do, don't be tempted skip the Import Approval process beforehand, and land it here on a wish and a hope.

The NSW registration requirements are spelled out here:
