Take off what you want and sell it,if you do come back after a while in the US one look at the VP and you will do a dump on it.Once you get used to all the great and large variety of cars there you wont want it.
Remember too that depending how long you go you might be off your Ps and will want a nice V8.

maybe in 1983.
you should actually find out what things really do cost before you think of a number.
FWIW, its more like $4500+ (and that was when the AU dollar was worth US$0.96c) to bring a car over from America and you still need to jump through 32 hoops before your allowed to even put it in a container.
BTW, in Australia, if the car your importing is left hand drive and isnt 30 years old - you wont even get it in the country unless you can document how and where your planning to get it converted to right hand drive (exemptions naturally for areas like car manufacturing testing etc).
its never just as simple as filling a container and putting it on a boat.

hardly seems worth it for a car that would be worth $1000 at best

Ok well thanks for the info guys.

And no Dents, there will be no more light show, so you can now stop complaining. Maybe you can take my name off the FaceBook group as well :thumbsup:
