If you get the info on the import costs I'd also like to know myself as I am just starting to have a look around now. I'm in Sydney and there doesn't seem to be a lot of knowledge on actual costs (Govt charges, freight, mods req'd for Aust. standards etc) to import a car. I'm looking for a nice '64 - 66 coupe.

The best I can do is outline my costs so far and what I expect it to cost:
Ship from Florida to Longbeach = US$1195
Ship from Longbeach to Brisbane including all cost except GST and AQIS = AU$3,800
Ship from Brisbane to Sydney = AU$450
Import approval application = $50
Shipping insurance door-to-door = AU$375
GST 10% of cost of car plus shipping
I have chosen to do the compliance and blueslip here on my 64 1/2 doing the work myself. My shipper (Geezers) quoted AU$1,500 for compliance and blueslip (a bit high in my opinion)
Blueslip seems to be $120 but varies assuming everything is right.
That is what I have so far. My car will, hopefully, be on it's way this week.
