I saw this one when I posted a batch a week or two back but passed because it is in Newfoundland, quite a distance from me. I figured I'd let someone from there post it.
The mention in the ad of Joey Smallwood is probably adding a few thou to the price. Smallwood was a legendary politician there, the man who brought Newfoundland into Canada. Nice taste in cars too.

Hope the hurricane that blew thru today didn`t get her!!
Just issue a factory recall with an Imperial letterhead. LOL!
Hansen's would charge $3026 includes tax from St John's NFLD to Windsor Ontario or $3416 to Detroit. I like to get both quotes for the border town's as sometimes the charges can be quite a bit higher if the transport company is crossing the border and doing the brokerage. I did a similar trip this past summer and my costs were about $1000.00 with my enclosed car hauler. Ferry was $108 per person and $217 for car on the Ferry to North Sydney Nova Scotia. I loaded the car in North Sydney and drove to Ontario for about $600 in Fuel. I pulled over at Truck stops so one would have to factor in accomodations if they were staying in a hotel.
I assume all of this is transportation costs. So what is the cost (taxes or import/export fees) does Canada/U.S. charge for a normal Joe like you or me to by a car in Canada and bring it to the U.S.?
I always check in advance of import fees/duties,safety and emissions with the year and make of car. I've only had to pay the Register of imported Vehichle fee (RIV) $205.00 on the older cars. After that its no different than any other vehichle purchase i.e.taxes,safety and license fees.The newer cars are a different story. Had to get a bumper reinforcement for a crossfire to meet Canadian Standards,all day running lights air tax $100,6.1 duty as it was made in Germany. Still saved thousands at the time but we checked in advance of the requirements. I met a guy at moparfest who bought a nice white 78 New Yorker on Ebay. The import broker charged him $4800 for shipping safety etc so it's buyer beware as he wasn't prepared for that bill. He will be doing it himself next time.
Thanks, I would definitely bring a trailer and bring it back myself.

Where's Leaburn (Cbarge) when you need him. He's the expert on smuggling... er... transporting things across the border.
