I'd reenact the scene in BTTF where marty opens the garage door, over and over and over. I know it's a couple years newer but i instantly thought of that

NitroSpazzz posted:Honda Beat for $6500 including shipping to any US port - http://www.ebay.com/itm/291723267863?rmvSB=true&autorefresh=true Japanese auto auctions are so tempting, The cars are mostly low mileage, they have these detailed auction sheets with thorough inspections and consistent condition ratings (in japanese, admittedly). Shipping and importing a car from japan to the west coast costs all of $2k. AZ-1s are about 6k at auction right now, they'll probably go up closer to 10 when they become importable. I keep having periodic episodes of disappointment as I realize what cars are now legal to import federally, look at the prices, and then I remember I can never import them because I live in california and I would have to pay for $10000 of emissions lab testing for a 25 year old car. One of those montana registration services would be cool, if only registering an imported car anywhere in the country wasn't an ordeal where you have to convince a DMV employee that no, you really don't have a 17 character VIN.

If you ever found one for sale you could probably federally import it under show and display since they made under 500. Californizing a car is relatively straight forward if they sold the engine in CA originally, you just have to swap the engine/add all the emissions equipment from the CA model. Then take it to the BAR referee to certify this and you get a sticker in your door and you can just smog it like normal from then on. If the engine wasn't ever sold in california though, $10000 of lab testing.

I have no idea about import laws.. but couldn't you just import the car now, as in having it physically delivered to you without driving or registering it or taking it out of it's shipping container, until the stroke of midnight of the date it's legally able to be registered? I'd rather snag one now and put it in storage for a few years.

NoWake posted:I have no idea about import laws.. For CBP to release the car you have to provide several documents, including a DOT form HS-7. The HS-7 has all the ways that you can bring a car into the country and the CBP officer has to confirm your answer through documentation or inspection, for a 25 year old car you'd have documentation of the date of manufacture. Even if you successfully lie and get the car out of the port, you need the customs release when you register the car. If you're in one of the super-lax states (florida) you might even register it, but then your car is forever subject to being crushed because you can't produce the right documentation on request. You could also be charged with smuggling, which is quite serious. Don't buy imported cars with florida plates unless you know exactly what documentation they need and it all checks out. I'm not sure if you could leave it in the shipping container, but you wouldn't want to since demurrage fees would quickly escalate to hundreds of dollars a day. Some exporters offer a service where they keep your car in-country until it's legal for import, but do you really want your car sitting in a parking lot for 2 years? astropika fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Apr 8, 2016 |

Yeah this, to get the car into the United states means you'd have to smuggle it in and even after 25 years it was still smuggled and subject to crushing. I am on Florida and have thought about smuggling one it but the risks are too great. I might use the storage service or see if I can have some friends in Japan rent me a garage or something a few months before it's build date comes up.

You'd need to buy an early car before it becomes legal, the prices for the entire model go up after US importing. Also related models because apparently used car dealers at auction think R33 skylines must be worth more than R32s and look how much they keep selling for. R32s have apparently basically doubled in price the last 2 years. Or, if you're talking about a beat or an AZ-1 or something, I'm not sure if americans give enough of a poo poo about kei cars to force the prices up?

I wonder if you could bring a car over as long as it was non-functional. Claim you were wanting it for art or something.

Oh indeed - I only clicked it because I dig 70's pedestrian-killers but the spraycan Cyclone stripe and pose were too good to not post. I am eternally stuck in a kind of craigslist Purgatory where I endlessly seek seventies post-muscle garbage americana that would rule with $crate_motor mods I cannot afford. Look at that front end... just look at it. Inspired the morning after a Detroit engineer went on a coke streak with one of the guys from FoMoCo finance, looked at the profit/loss statements for 1971 and crashed an off-duty snowplow into a cathedral.

Sinestro posted:get a beat, ship it over without an engine, put a k20 in, register it when it's legal, die with a smile on your face and again, without the custtoms forms you only get by showing the car to the CBP officers when you ship it over after the 25 years is up, it is subject to crushing if they catch you and you don't have that form, even if it has now been 25 years. this is the government we are talking about here. the rules don't matter. the paperwork does, because it is their accepted form of proof that you are following the rules. Pointing at the build date on the door sticker (the same poo poo that CBP officer would check) won't get you any further away from the crusher, holding the form saying that the CBP officer looked at that sticker and said you are legit is what saves you. Your call. Hell if you want proof that you should play this by the books and have all your paperwork in order go read about the land rovers that got seized, in some cases by armed feds, when the owners thought they were completely following the law. Now imagine how much worse that will go for you without paperwork.

Elephanthead posted:Ship it to Canada and then move it to the USA when it hits 25 years. This is what a few people I know have done for specialty cars they've imported. Other option that seems popular is have a contact in whatever country you're importing it from that can store it for you until it's legal for import. I know of a few M5 tourings waiting to ding 25 years old then will be on the first ship over.
