Hi I'm from Canada. I've got a 69 Mach 1. Numbers matching. I used a dynacorn shell for the body. Have taken all the vin identification off the original body. Can it be imported into Australia?

Are the old numbers on the new body? If so I would think you could

Hey Wattever,
I read a little about importing cars into Australia, wow! Complicated!
IMO!
I think you need to get Legal advice, technically it should be registered as a kit car under modern Vehicle regulations.
Good luck, hope you can get your car imported.
If anyone knows Barney would know! Barnett468 may be able to help?
Cheers Phil.
If you've never buggered anything you've never done anything!
But if you've buggered a lot maybe you're not very good at it!

Two for one is good but four for two is better!

Hey Wattever,
What is the resale value like in Canada.
May be easier to sell it there.
Save the hassle and purchase a car here!
Adding to the import cost these days is the asbestos check cost!

I think it should be OK (assuming all the numbers are now on the car and its a quality build). When I imported my 65 (not a rebody though), no one really inspected the car in that fashion - you need to VIN for an import approval (and model etc), basic checks only in terms of does the vehicle match the paperwork when it arrives etc

Of course, not disclosing the rebody if you sell would be considered very poor form (and not hard to detect, easy for that car to get a name for itself in a small market)
