Default Canada's Red Tape

I know Clay it is a huge bummer. Bruce is a great guy and the deal was almost done.

In fact, he should have taken delivery this week.

At the last minute they found a snag in getting a Unique into Canada. Apparently Unique has been trying to sell in Canada for a while now with no luck.

Even though mine is titled as a 1967 Ford, I guess if the government got wind that it was a Unique replica Cobra they have up to 7 years to repo and impound the car.

That is the latest I have heard from Bruce's car broker. I hope that they can still get it somehow. We both have put a lot of time and money into this sale.

Until we hear otherwise, Canada won't let it in.

So I have no choice but to put it back on the market. I would really like to sell it before winter. I want to build a Mustang Shelby GT350 convertible clone. That way I can use it more as a daily driver.

If anyone has experience getting a replica into Canada, please let me know asap.

Thanks

Scott
