Hope everyone is well. I MAY have found a car in Canada I want to buy. Anyone have any experience bringing a car in from Canada? Customs issues, good transporter to use, all info would be very helpful.

Many thanks,

Chris

Chris, if the car is in the Vancouver, BC area I may know some history on it.

Ryan,

Hope you are well. The car is in Blind Bay, BC. It is a black with gray Z/28 stripes 69 with an LS9. The owners area code is (250). Have you heard of this car? It has DSE everything, leather interior, T-65, etc., etc.

Hi Chris,

I saw that car on Ebay. The pictures look like they were taken at the Abbotsford auto show which is local to both me and Ryan, i wasn't able to go this year maybe Ryan saw it there?

I looked up where Blind Bay is and wow! talk about in the middle of nowhere!! its about 5-6 hour away from Vancouver

Ebay link, I think this is what you are looking at.

No never seen this car, but looks like Raj did some detective work. I could ask around. Not sure of very many builders in that area it's a resort type of summer town. Ask the guy who built it or where it was built.

Hey Chris - car seems to be a winner from a parts perspective. That LS9 motor rocks and can be upgraded real easy to 650 hp!

I would check w NA transport companies like Reliable or Exotic. I bet they have all the details about import, dutiies, etc. Good luck!

Cant give any advise on importing, but that's a nice looking car.
