Sammy, I haven't read too much about it, but I think they have put a stop on importing modified classics?.. so anything like an Eleanor etc into the country. Please correct me if I'm wrong fellas.
If you're looking at overseas, your best bet is to get a project car or one that is standard with no modifications as possible.....bring it in, and get the resto or modifications done here.
Personally, not from experience but what I've read, the yanks resto standards are different than ours. Most, over there, would be happy with bog or as they call it bondo, all over the car. Definitely not something we like over here.
