I am thinking of starting a company geared towards importing otherwise unobtainable cars, engines, and parts to the US. The 6gen GT-4, of course, is one of these. Also Nissan S15 Silvias, R32 and R34 Sylines, and other Japanese and European goodies that due to DOT and EPA restrictions are not importable. I already know all the laws and rules and have formulated a method for doing this legally. And it's not easy, there is a lot you have to do to keep them completely legal and road-safe. A few questions, though. 1. How much would you be willing to pay for an ST205? 2. What other cars would you recommend? 3. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

very interested. here's how i'm feeling about prices. if it were 6-12K i'd buy it in a heartbeat. more than that and i'd probably still buy, but i'd have to think about it more.
questions: would being an importer/dealer enable you to dot register the clear headlight lenses. and, if so, would you be able to dot register hids for use with them. it'd be nice to have street legal hids. lhd would be damn nice to have as well. if lhd was taken care of it'd increase what i'd be willing to pay (of course).
