Yeah my next attempt is to get one put into the trunk of a car I know is coming here. Luckily I have a mate who buys a lot of classic cars so this is possible. It is just such a hassle to organize.
We have a unique customs rule here. If I buy a BODY, let's say a '68 Charger. And I pay whatever for it, say 5,000 since it's a rust heap. As long as the car has a title and I have a receipt for the PURCHASE price of the car, ANYTHING else done to it BEFORE it leaves the US is not eligible for customs duty!
That mean in theory, that I could buy a body, with title, then give it to someone to rebuild into a full car, and all that stuff on it comes in without customs duties!
Now..only problem..
How do I make sure a build like that goes smoothly, from all the way over here? Not likely, considering the many stories on here about bad paint, poor workmanship etc.
Would also take the fun out of building the car myself too. But it sure would be cheap! Relatively, considering bringing each part in AFTER the car is here will attract customs duty every time.
