Another Cobra on the road - Qld
I thought the ability to pinch Dad's Cobra anytime would stop me from wanting/needing my own, but I bit the bullet and bought one. It's an early Arntz, factory built with a SBC. I'm currently weighing up engine options, but for now I'm just rapt that I finally have a Cobra again.

That is great! I like the color!

Good stuff Craig, is it in Australia?
Looks to have Aussie plate. Keep this one useable :) |

It arrived in the country a week ago, so yep it's in the garage. |

There must be some stories to tell about importing it? And what rego do you have on it, being a LHD? Congratulations! Cheers, Glen |
I'm impressed, a two Arntz family. Congratulations Craig.
cheers Paul |
Thanks guys. Three Cobras cruising down to the coast with Dad in his Arntz and a mate in his RMC was fantastic!
Because it's 30+ years old, in Queensland you can either have full rego or club/historic rego and leave it LHD. There are a few threads about importing cars into Australia, but it's basically a matter of getting every bit of paperwork you could possibly imagine (including evidence of first registration pre-1982 for LHD, and a million other supporting documents), then pay the full purchase price and only then can you apply to import the car. If it's knocked back at that point, you're stuck owning a car that can't leave the States! It's not a process to go through if you don't like a challenge...! http://s868.photobucket.com/albums/a...f/a1122b10.jpg http://s868.photobucket.com/albums/a...f/d19d64dd.jpg |
Nice work Craig, shame I missed seeing it on Sunday. Great to see another Lefty in the club.
