Regards from Germany!!!

[abo]

Hello,

my name is André from Germany and in the moment i´m 44 years old. I work for BMW in Cologne Germany and i love american Musclecars! A graet compliment to you and your cars......

In the past i owned 3 Corvette, a 68 Coupe SB, a 71 Convertible BB454 and a 61 Corvette C1, and also a 65 Mustang Convertible. Look to the Fotos. My brother loves musclecars too. He likes and owned Cadilac, Pontiac, Corvette und Dodge.....

Now i think it´s time for me to own a cobra. A Superformance in black is my wish, with power an muscels and in an excellent condition......!

Maybe i come to the united states and search there my dreamcar...!! There are a lot of different cars in Germany, but not so much superformance. I like this special cobra and my cobra must have a strong ford motor and i don´t like injection or buick or rover.....! Not that the cars are bad, but it´s difficult to import this car and get a license und i think it´s to modern! That´s my opinion. If i want drive a modern car, i take an M3 or M5 from BMW!

The car must have good brakes and tires, because it´s allowed to drive without limit....

If I search a car, where can i write it down here???? Can you send me a link??

Sorry, my english is not so good guys!

If i can do something for you or you have a question, you are welcome!!!

I hope, we have a lot of fun and petrol talks....!

best greetings

André

Welcome. How about a Backdraft since we use BMW suspension and brakes?

Hello André ! Wilkommen in superformance wonderful world ! Very nice cars, you'll love. Very fast, very reliable...

Dont' you know there is a superformance for sale in Germany (in Hambourg) ? Check this out :

westside.cars - SPORTWAGEN UND KLASSISCHE FAHRZEUGE

The price seems very fair to me, regarding a SPF for sale in Europe, could be a bargain ! And no need to pay a trip to the US to test drive it !

Yes, it's only a small block 302, but for that price, you can order any Big-Block you want to put in it, from any US crate engine supplier.

Good luck for your snake quest...

Hello Andre and welcome to the forum. I was in Germany last March and rented a Porsche 911 and ran the Autobahn around Frankfurt for a day............ What a blast. I also went to the Posrche Museum while I was there. Cashburn is correct a Backdraft is a very nice Cobra.

Welcome to CC!
I left Germany in 2001, a year after I joined this fantastic club/forum...

If you can't find or get the answer here, then it doesn't exist.

That was not they said me when I inquired... Price was €42K for a car already in their Hambourg facility, including all taxes and custom duties, and in German historic papers (or 37500 whitout papers). PM me if you want more details.

Andre,

I'll throw my hat (cobra) into the fray as well. Being titled as a 1965, it makes getting it into Germany (and registered) much easier. From past experience (I've sold three into Germany), you will need to change the headlights (lights/lenses), turn signals(again, lenses),Can't remember if there was a change to the tailight lenses, but I do know you do not have to worry about side pipe covers (FIA exhaust is under the side of the car). My car has a top, heater, defroster, wipers, built in fire suppression system, even a hidden AM/FM/CD radio and a computer controlled 4.6L 32V DOHC motor that will meet or beat your countries emissions tests. Again, do your research thoroughly before you buy, as there is a lot you have yet to learn.

Not really, otherwise why would all of the German based dealers be looking for cars "only titled as 1965 or 1966" model years when they come to the states is search of inventory. I have several specific open orders for cars (color combinations, drivetrain combinations, options, etc) from dealers looking to import to Germany and the Ukraine(go figure).

Hi Bill,

i can see your car in german "car for sale" internet ! Thanks. It´s beautifull, but you know, what i search. SPF

For information:
...only the 65/66 and more older then 30 years title is essential for getting the historic german title. But there is a lot of risk. If you get no paper, you can sell the car in parts.....! So we have problems with cobra from 65 and a modern motor from Corvette C5 or C6 or modern Motor from Ford with injection.

In the moment i check the risk and check my connection. A friend from me imports cycles from the states to germany. maybe he can help me and can help me with transport, shipping, tax, paper and so on. I think sure, he can!!!

@86Sebring: wow und Danke!! Komme gerne drauf zurpück. Vielleicht kannst Du mir irgend wann helfen, bevor ich zuschlage! Wenn Du für D was brauchst oder wissen mußt, dann sage es mir!

@fordracing65: I send you a message!



in the moment we have winter and i hope, that the next summer will be a cobra summer for me!!

ps: i looked to a german muscle car dealer with my wife, for looking a corvette. On the way home, the last car we saw was a black cobra. My wife said: this or nothing.......!

I´m really proud, that you are welcome me! Thank´s alot.
