Ok so I know that importing GT-4's is illegal, but what about taking a junker 6gc and throwing the GT-4 engine, trans, bumber, hood, etc is that illegal or legal for the U.S.A

GT4. I have just imported one from Japan. I live in Canada and I guess it was legal to import here since last Feb. Right now I am just waiting for it to clear customs and get all of its inspections. Also compliance tests are on the way. Many people don't think its worth getting, insurance is supposedly really hard to get for any right hand drive vehicle. This is actually not true. The liability portion is fine, you should be paying as much as any other LHD vehicle you purchase in the US or Canada. However for collision coverage and comprehensive, you will need an appraisal done and also underwriting approval for this.
GL for anyone importing. Maybe you can import to Canada first if you have a source here, and then drive it down or ship it to the US. Peace!! |
