Default Great Detective work

Wow, thanks for the responses. That sure is a great piece of detective work Stephen because I've done a heap of searching the net and never turned that advertisment up once. That's the car I'm 99% sure and it makes more sense that it would be semi on the road than csx 3048, the bloke seemed like a car dealer. I've been a cobra fan for a fair while and don't own one at the moment but have looked into importing one. I sort of doubt it's legally registered unless he has somehow managed to convince the authorities it was never road registered in the US and hence never presented for rego so they have to go to something else for reference. That may be the loop hole, because in NSW the date of manufacture is taken as the date when the car is first presented for rego, so legally I don't think a continuation car would be registerable in NSW. It doesn't take on the date of the engine block, donor, chassis or anything else unfortunately from what I've read. With your car Bryan, when was it first presented for rego?

thanks for your help

Paul
