Hi not wanting to buy into an area I know little about - Craig and John at JT imports are the experts here. I have used John to bring in a number of items and they are very good and understand the process extremely well. In better words don't buy and try to do it yourself.

The other important thing you are on a web site that has thousands of members. I am sure - even with the size of the USA - that someone will chime in and offer a comment about a car or even look at it for you. The majority of sellers are somehow linked to clubs or known
to individuals. If buying a car in say Tulsa OK. Post a Thread and ask about the car etc. On the relevant club site. You may even find the owner on the site.

Mention was made of this site and Cobra country, personally I would buy off either site and stay away from eBay unless the owner is linked to a club etc. - known.

The point about removing running gear and the suspension is relevant also. Ship separately?

Due diligence is mentioned and I think that is very relevant. At $2300 I would make a trip and
check out both the car and the owner out. A handshake and personal contact means a lot if you want to import other bits.

I have done it this end with cars and property for our US mates.
