I'm a *****. If a Fer-ner want to pay waaay too much money, my car would be on the to the port as we speak. I would then use the riches to buy a better car. There is always a better car. I don't care if you sold a one of none pre-production Hemi.
And anyone with a car for sale would do the same regardless of their public stand.
I have never heard anyone say "NO" because the buyer was overseas. All they really say is "Money Transfer only, please".

A lot of you guys have no idea the amount of money and trouble that overseas buyers have to put up with to get a car from here to there. Many of those American car owners are FAR more knowledgeable that many US car enthusiasts. I know a lot of Mopar owners in England, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands. Most of their cars would put cars here to shame. As far as selling cars or parts overseas, I see ZERO problems in doing that. Sold a total of five that left here for Europe, and have imported two American cars FROM Europe...so you see, the boat travels both ways.

Congratulations on the sale of the Fury, B-rad. Great job!

I agree with that. I sold a mint condition 1973 Z-1 A Kawasaki 900 to a gentleman in Australia in 2008. I had to drain the bike, haul it to Chicago, and watch them pack it in special wood good only for Australia. They then put it on a truck, and shipped it back to L .A. Then Customs Inspected it again, before it got on the ship. Then it arrived in Sydney. Customs Inspected it again, and the owner had to wait for a week to get the bike. It cost him thousands to get that bike there. These Buyers are patient, for sure.

Shipping 70s Japanes high po motorbikes from the US to Europe or elsewhere was a pretty worthwhile business in the 90s already. The brother of a friend picked up many of these, partly NOS never registered; they seem to be worthless in the US while catching five digit Euro prices in fully restored condition over here.

Sorry, I had it priced in Hemming's for $7,500 and I could not refuse the more $. I would have liked it to stay here in the states.

As we know it was for sale with a bit more work for less and you could still pick it up after a couple of weeks being advertized; I never doubted it would sell overseas or not at all for a long time. I still think these cars in general are underevaluated in the US, they should be in price ranges that don't put cars in very acceptable condition to the slaughter house.
