Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
don't know if this would be the place but, for you guys who like engine p*rn, here's the 76 Datsun 620 broke down in the rebuilding stage, were it still is. over thirty is classic right? and a weber carb makes it a muscle right, right?

Old, slow and heavy as it is in stock condition (barely knocking off zero-60 in six and hardly able to get out of its own way enroute to 163mph) I still look back at least once each time I park it. In spite of what I do the resale value continues to rise. And in spite of what others think, a good example from the era is vastly overbuilt and very hard to break. I don't know who fixes modern rice burners but my daughter and I can tune a 911, drop an engine, strip an exhaust or knock out a valve lash adjustment in a few hours. And she works cheaper than the dealership!

Love your Porsche! Maybe someday, many years down the road, for me... In the meantime I love my 98 BMW M Roadster - at least during the summer No pics. It's black. Use your imagination / google. I can handle some of the ricers for you and then we can have a cigar. |

Comparing new technology to old technology is an apples to orange comparison. So many cars have 300+ hp these days, that alone does not make it a sports car, let alone an iconic one at that. 20 years from now, the Porsche will still be a highly sought after collectible. That Infiniti (and 99% of all cars for that matter) will probably be driven by a high school kid who saved his paper route money and bought his first car. |

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!

It was until the lexan screen got smashed. Now it's a big red box.

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
Word. Mrs. Moo's Jeep runs a 330hp hemi. Not sure what I'd call it but sports- or muscle car do not come to mind.

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
Have you shipped cars there before? Is it already owned by a Thai as personal property in USA. I have done car exports to Switzerland a few times, so just curious. How is the homologation process go in Thailand? I thought they were RHD?

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
Nope, I have never shipped a vehicle to Thailand before. Being that my wife is a Thai citizen I dont think it makes a difference on that import duty & taxation. I hear its high if the vehicle is under 10 years old. But, alas like many things, my wife tells me it largely depends on "who" you know. She has some connections there that I dont question. Like how in the hell she got her replacement birth certificate 3 days after she made the request (That includes transit time).

I hope it works out well for you. I know taxes in that region can be 100%, but it sounds like your wife knows the right people. Would love to hear how it all plays out.

Re: Sports Cars, Muscle Cars and Customs!
In to the paint shop in March:
Over to wet sanding: ...and across to the Outer Banks three weeks later: Previous owner(s) in Texas and Oklahoma buffed and burned, right down to primer in some places. Too bad the original paint wasn't salvageable. Oh well - it's a clearcoated piece of steel now. Huge improvement.
