If the car was registered in the US and imported as a registered car with an engine made in the year it is claimed then there are ways of registering them here.
We have in the NSW club a LHD Superperformance built around 2003-2004 with a 1966 428 motor. The car was registered in the US as a 1966 Shelby Cobra ( as they register cars on the year of manufacture of the engine)and imported here this year and registered in NSW the same, thereby being a 1966 vehicle and not having to be converted to RHD nor pass all the state's archaic rules- working sidepipes, wipers etc.

Not disclosing costs, but it was a bargain

Bryan,

Hi mate.

The US market at the moment has a number of Cobras for sale. The 'For Sale' section here on the forum shows some very good bargains.

Unfortunately, the dollar is down but 4 or 5 months ago would have been a great time to buy and import. The bargains are still there however.

Importing a Cobra is quite easy if it is registered/titled as a '66. As suggested the car is considered a '66 and being over 30 years can stay in that configuration. This is legal and acceptable.

I have seen this GT40 around for a while. It has been advertised in Unique Cars and Just Cars for a while.

It is not registered and may qualify for Club rego or Permit rego. Would not make full rego here..

I think the add in Unique cars suggested it would not be road registered - or was that the link..

.

Fun though
