Sweet car. What do you know about re-importing it back to the US?

Hi Lee, from my understanding it is approx $3k US shipping to the west coast. Being an original US vehicle and with a previous title as a 1965 in Missouri I would doubt that any duty applies ? Obviously needs further investigation, I can look into the transport part in more detail if you wish.

 

[Lee Patterson]

thanks Karlo. I am good for now. the import part is always a mystery.

Ok Lee. It was relatively simple getting her here, just took a little time with transport etc.

Just a word of caution to prospective US buyers to conduct due diligence on re-importation, it is not guaranteed to be straightforward simply because it was once a US car. By example I sold my first GT40 (a 1993 KVA) to Canada and some years later was contacted by a prospective US buyer who was trying to re-import it and was flat refused by US customs, this was despite the fact all the paperwork from first issue of VIN and registration was with the car. US customs are wise to the 1965 replica year of manufacture and will require evidence of and look at first year of registration over anything the title might say.

Yes, we exported a Superformance MK III "Cobra" to Canada as it was 15 years old. The sale fell through and when we tried to register in the states for a customer we found that even though it had been registered in the US for over 15 years it was a "non-complying vehicle" and ineligible for registration. I talked with someone at NHTSA I know and they concurred. While it makes no sense for a vehicle that was US legal under the self build regulations when new it now was "persona non grata" to the US!
