Getting a high powered 67 stang on the road in QLD

[nstg8a]

I think you better get your facts straight if you dont want to lose a wad of cash.
I can guarantee that 2 pics will not suffice, nor will a $50 piece of paper guarantee entry into this country.
The car WILL be FULLY inspected and it will not pass regardless of what you think, have heard or have been told.
That car will not see its way into this country and it will never see any piece of tarmac here.
Your fooling yourself if you think that you can import it - you cant.
Even if you know someone that has a CAMS license - YOU dont, so you still cant own the car as a race car.

Take the advice youve been given and forget about the car.
Even if you are silly enough to put it in a container and bring it here hoping that it will get through, YOU will have to either pay for the shipping (and fees) back to where it came from or have it crushed and destroyed at your own cost.
That doesnt mean you will be allowed to remove any parts from it either as you wont be allowed.
It will be destroyed and you will be out of pocket.

listen to this man.

And?
It also has shock towers still too.
Nothing to say you cant build that car here, you just cant bring that car in this country if it is already modded like that - which is the issue.

If you can prove that car was bought in the country like that, in that exact condition under the current laws, then you better put the O.P onto the owner - otherwise that entire car is irrelevant to this thread.

i think 11.0ET is suggesting it may be a good option to buy, rather than trying to import one already modded...

^^^^^ exactly Why wouldn't you buy local.
Yeah just had a quick look on carsales.com and it was the first car to come up registered in QLD.

Ah, OK.
Definitely - buy local or even better build it yourself.
Surely for the dollars we're talking about, something awesome could be built or bought right here in our own back yard.

Exactly mate to many stories of people buyin cars without looking at them properly before handing over big $$$$'s
I hope this helps him out

Street Machine July issue did a 3 page article on this

From page 24
"The new set-up goes like this: modified vehicles originally manufactured prior to 1 January 1989 can only be imported if the owner can demonstrate that any modifications were completed to prior that date. Import approvals will only be granted after the Dol (Department of infrastructure) is satisfied that modifications were carried out before 01/01/89. And it seems 'modified' means something as minor as a paint job or wider than standard wheels.

Furthermore, modified vehicles manufactured prior to 01/01/89 cannot be imported if the modifications were completed after the 01/01/89, or if the owner can't demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Dol that they were completed prior to that date. The date of manufacture will be reset as the date the modifications were completed; if that date is after 01/01/89 the application will be rejected. Simple as that."

From Page 26
"Approval assessment means that the level and date of the modifications are judged by a Dol staff member, whose qualifications are not outlined, based on:
1. A copy of the vehicle purchase document.
2. A clear picture of the vehicle.
3. A complete list of modifications and evidence of when the modifications
were completed."
