Default Looking for Canadian Cobra

Hello fellow car enthusiasts!

I am a Canadian who lives 6 months each year 2 hrs north of Toronto (Muskokas) and the remaining 6 months in Wilmington, NC.

I currently own 3 Shelby Mustangs (68GT500 KR Convert, 07 GT500 725hp SuperSnake, 07 GT500 Convert).

Its time to own my first CSX or facsimile.

Apparently Canadian laws restrict me from importing a car under 15years old (must provide proof of 15 years registration so no faking allowed)

I could construct a car from parts (not likely given my lack of mechanics skills)

I could simply buy a car in the US and keep it there... however I really would like to drive the Cobra in Canada where I spend my summers.

I could buy a vehicle "home built" by someone in Canada legally...my concern is keeping it running of course.

I could partner with an existing Canadian Cobra owner (who has necessary mechanical skills)...not sure where I would find one. ie split capital and operating costs.

If there is anyone out there with any good ideas/options, please let me know.

In the mean time, I plan to cruise the forums here from time to time and get myself up to speed on your cars as well as my options.

Best regards,


Mark
