The import costs are just taxes, and an environmental fee if it has AC. The paper work for older cars is pretty simple. It's more the hasstle of going back and forth across the border several times and storing it while waiting for the title to be mailed to me, and then waiting for the US border customs to clear it for export.

I am purposely looking for a coupe and not a convertible, and also a 350 or 350HO car, preferably with AC to make it nicer to drive in the summer time. This car would not be a trailer princess, and would be driven regularily. I'm really not worried about mileage on it. At only 23000 miles, it would take many years of summer weekend driving to make it high mileage. No point in buying a car if it's not going to get driven.

Everyone tells me to look for a 400 convertible. I've seen there are tonnes of them out there. I am not interested in them. I am looking for a very specific model, and this one is the closest I have found in several years of looking. I am not looking for a project due to lack of body work skills, and lack of space to do a major project. I have knowledge and space to do regular mechanical work/maintenance. Almost anything that is restored tends to be modified, or no where near the model I am looking for.

I am looking for a 68 350 or 350HO coupe, with AC, and numbers matching, either original, or restored to original.

If I can get them to agree on a price in the low-mid $20's, and I then fly out and check the car out and it is everything it looks to be, then it shall be mine. I am going to go to them with some pretty good reasoning for my price. I shall see if I get laughed at, or if they are reasonable.
