CSX4990 heading to Australia

[boxhead]

My guess is that this car will go on club plates.
As it was not assembled 30plus years ago, and there is little chance of complying that engine.

Lucky person!

14 January/April
4 March 2013: Mark my Shelby Cobra CSX4990 SOLD! It's going to Australia. The lucky new owner saw the car on your website and*flew here to meet it in person.*Where else can a private owner have access to a potential Cobra owner in Australia? My thanks to your site's great resources (in particular, CobraCountry's self-evident 'market reach' and Curt's photography tips) for helping to connect this very distant buyer to my beautiful blue serpent! It all came down to those pictures—that's what really got him to fly halfway around the world to buy my Cobra! John Mowry

Its good to work in a GOLD MINE!

How did you get a IMPORT APPROVAL for this Superperformance Cobra as our Canberra bureaucrats must be very LENIENT in the matter.

I have been told to import such cars would be very difficult!

From memory the Superperformanceand Backdraft Cobra's are a permitted import.

At least a precedent has been established and NOW every Tom,Dick and Harry can import his DREAM RIDE even though it will be on CLUB REGO.
Perhaps you might have to go through a Registered Automotive Workshop Scheme as the Cobra is a current build.

In Australia there are Kirkhams ,Superperformance,Backdraft and cars like the Arntz have entered the country as LHD

Currently on ebay.com.au you can even buy a Factory Five Kit for under $40k
and I was wondering whether it comes with all engineering to comply with our tough ADR Rules.

Perhaps under the Banner of Made in America between USA and Australia the item can be legally imported and No duty is payable.!
