Finally ! my new toys are half way to Singapore at the mo' Starting to get excited as they are due early in June  

Fingers crossed theres no probs and it's smooth sailin' .. I said the my shipping agent " I dont want them in a boat that has oars, sails or a Chinese captain!"

Now I have to go out and make some room in the garage....

Well guys I'll get them here way less than what I can find one for here and thats IF I can find a decent car here..

It costs about $4100. aust dollars each with all the marine insurance to get them here in W.A. and then on top I'll pay a 10% tax on what "I" paid for them. I'll pay a little less as they are shipped together.

 I'll be honest and say I picked up the 56 Fairlane which was a two owner 90,000 original mile car with a HEAP of spares etc for $9500 USD

 and the real [BS23] 'Cuda witha 360, power steer, discbrakes, A/C etc for $18,000 USD.

 I bought the when the Aust dolla was at around 90. US. cents so I everage 10% more in you language.

That 'Cuda is easy a $35,000 + AUD here...

Im way infront..

Won't you ruin that value when you convert the steering wheels to the wrong side?

Bill ,

Don't know what the rules are in WA ( that's Western Australia ,not Washington ) ,but here in Queensland if the vehicle is over 30 years  of age you don't have to convert them to RHD . You just have to drive them on the wrong side of the road ??? I only converted my Vicky because Lynne wanted to drive it . If I had another one ,I would leave it left hook ???That's "Aussie" for left hand drive .

I thought I heard some stories while I was over there about you guy's installing a fake steering wheel on the right and covering the left one with a jacket to get them registered because it was the law that they had to be right hand drive after x amount of months of being there? You must have been talking about doing this to something that was less than 30 years old.
