Yes the 2" roof chop and 80s front nose does make it unique.
Looking forward in swapping war stories soon.
Taking my daughter to her formal tomorrow night. It arrived just in time.

I'm sleeping in the garage tonight. Lol

Hi Chris,
Nice looking car.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, from Pennsylvania. Can I ask you some questions like who did you use to get it to the west coast, and how much was that? I was quoted "about USD $1000".
Who did you use to get it to Oz?
I'll be leaving in Sept if the dollar doesn't nose dive.
I too have been waiting 20 years!!
regards,
Andy.

Hi Andy
I used a door to door service from east coast
It can cost from $1000 to $1400 depending on who you use.
EDI were fantastic and have a unique loading system.

Check it out on http://www.edicustoms.com.au/international-freight.htm
You can email Nigel who is based in LA tell him I sent you his way.
He can give you a full break up of what it will cost
I am currently also looking to bring a project over , the states are flooded with vettes and go outside the square of ebay and you can pick up some really good deals but you have to do the leg work and be extremely careful......... Buyer beware there are some vultures out there.

Cheers

Hi Andy The club has just accquired a new sponsor who does exactly this as well as restos and any spare parts you may require. He is based in Narrenben. Pacific Classics. The owner Warren came to the club meeting last week and let us know all about his business. He imports from east and west coast of USA. He has been in the industry for a long time and is branching into corvettes. Call him on 9970 7911 . or email warren@pacificclassics.com.au

Could be great help.

Thanks Tracy and Chris,
I'll contact him now.

Wow, just got a quote for a set of seat belts for NSW compliance. $1000 a pair because they have to be custom made! Tell me it ain't so!

Surely its just a matter of seat belts, head lights and a blue slip???

Anyone?

Give Geoff Eaton a ring (All Vehicle Restraints) 0417 473 492.

For the blue slip. Chris from SMS Performance was a great help with my Vette recently. Would highly recommend him to sort your blue slip out.
