Bernie,
I took my Rice Burner to the US with me when I moved there in 97, I also brought it back home last year. Nearly took the Cobra too... should have done, it could have magically transformed into a Kirkham while I was there
The paperwork is a simple matter to guarantee a non dutiable return and the US end is a breeze. Most shipping companies will have the info. If you get onto most international relo websites they are also full of useful info.
So why are you taking the car?? Run n Gun?
You can get a permit to drive it on the road in the US for a limited time, even as a RHD.
BTW, you will get 4 cars in a 40...
