How many Sportgrains were made?

I'm fairly certain that @Dobalovr owns this.

The Sportsgrain option returned for the redesigned 1969 Newport two-door hardtop and convertible; however, orders for the option were low that Chrysler did not release their production totals.

Has anyone bought a Canadian car and imported it into the US before? What's involved as far as cost and paperwork?

Rare car for sure...where would you get the trim to restore it correctly?

Here's a pic of what a 69 Sportgrain vert looks like complete.

Yes I’m having to sell the 69 to make room this winter at the house for major renos. Need the driveway space.

So yes on paper this was a rare car so I grabbed it 3 years ago from a barn way up North. Paid too much once I got it down here. It does run off a jerry can but @Tobias74 and I agree that it doesn’t have the original E63 HP in it anymore as it has a 2bbl. Some Asshat painted over the Sportgrain and swapped in a 300 grill. Lots of bondo in the rear quarters as well. If anyone here wants it $800 CDN to you as I need it gone by month end.

@Mntac I have brought a bunch of car from the USA up into Canada over the years and it's not too hard. I have heard that it is even easier going from Canada into the USA, but never researched the procedures for that obviously. ;)

Most likely you will need the title in you name, bill of sale...possibly notarized, and that is about it. Rules have changed in the last decade or so and last time I brought a vehicle up I had to have brokered paperwork, but you can find on-line sources for that for under $100, on-site brokers wanted anywhere from $250-$500 to do a simple paper shuffle and stamp.

So once you have all the paperwork in your hand My guess is stop at the Canadian side before crossing and fill out any paper work or declare what your intentions are. Then on to the USA side, usually they require all the pertinent paper work 72 hours before crossing...at least going north they do. Then it's a quick check of the VIN, some more paperwork and maybe some import fees? and you are on your way.

Yes I know how it works, I’m bringing a car across in the next few weeks for a member in California.
Is pretty easy if you have a cross border carrier license like I have, it cost me $200usd and a whole bunch of paperwork nothing special.

weak moment?

Well the good news is the Newport sold today to a member here and my storage troubles have been solved. Thanks @marko for that info on the Sportgrain I was confident it was a rare car.
