I wonder what he had to pay in import taxes ?? I know some countries charge outrageous import fees !

And I wonder what their racing gas costs over there ??

The 66 Chevelle looks like Gordon Merkley's car from Div 6 and the mid 80s Camaro looks like one of the Klein/Taylor cars.

Amount of bill of sale is ofcourse...flexible...
Good thing with import of a S/SS is that we need the title to get it out of US.
By that its easy to pre-registrer for a Swedish title, with the correct year, etc.

Due to the large interest in the hobby, cars older that 1975 pay only $7/year in vehicle tax.
(Feels strange to have anything positive to say about Swedish taxes...)

BTW, regular is today $7.50 and diesel $8.00. 60% is taxes and VAT on taxes...

I miss leaded racing fuel, this new crap smells... cancer...

If it really is only $1,300 - $1,500 to ship these cars overseas, that's a lot cheaper than I would have imagined. I paid $600 to have a '69 Camaro shipped from Missouri to New York (and that was easily $300 less than the next closest bid I received), so I would have expected a trans-Atlantic trip to cost at least $3K - $5K.

As for rollerblading backwards, I can only speak from my own experiences, and all I can say is that I'm a disaster waiting to happen skating backwards. I can only imagine how much I would hurt myself carrying a container of traction compound while trying to do it.

Pelle & Janne, thanks for your responses directly from the source! I sure am glad I'm not buying fuel in Europe. Anyway, post pictures of your cars here on the site so we can see who we're talking to!

Shipping from the west coast means slightly higher prices. Main problem is to get it safe to the nearest harbour cost effective and safe, considering insurance, etc.

Niklas Lidström and the other 8 Swedes in Detroit Red Wings will soon be over with kissing the Stanley Cup, and can maybe help you with some tricks regarding backwards skating.

Dont know yet if I succeeded to add the picture, but otherwise its in the Swedish links.
It's the white with green flames, former Keith Lynch Nova, and was shipped to Sweden 2005. Can always get back to him, and also Steve Koppien, for help and advice. Great guys with experience that I never ever will have the possibility to get.
As Jocke stated earlier, we do have a lot of hard core guys here, that build and tune their cars successfully, but we also have my type, that maybe don't have all that time to sort out a competitive stocker.

Dont forget to check out http://www.sssa.se regulary,
both on the home page and the forum, there will surley be new video clips and pictures all summer.
