Moving To USA with my Cobra

[727pilot@usa.co]

Apparently it is a whole lot easier to own and register a car here in the US.

Right at the moment you are in a position of power with your AUD. If you buy right you should be able to have the fun of owning it and break even or make a buck when you take it back.

Bruce, in addition to the US Federal import regulations, might also want to inquire with the DMV in the state the Cobra would be registered in. The individual states have their own inspection and registration laws, which in a number of cases, is not consistent.

A number of states have implemented the SEMA approach, but there could still be individual differences.

As an example, all kit/replica cars in CT are registered with the make as a Composite and the year first registered in CT is the model year. Aa of June, 2007, all CT Composites are exempt from emissions testing. The CT guidelines are mentioned in the following document:

Bruce,

We have several right hand drive vehicles (other than the postal service vehicles) driving around our city. Many are Mini Coopers, Cortina's and the like. Below is a list of all the states DMV rules governing the reegistration of Kit Cars and custom built vehicles. I hope this helps with your decision.
