Default Re: Collector cars going over seas

Hello.

There has been coming quite a few cars over here to Europe the last year. However since August 08, the exchange rate between for example Norwegian Krone, and USD has gone north about 40%.

So having that coming in on you, when you know where it came from, is probably slowing it down for a while. Where the exchange rate is at now, is the average over years, it was very very low, so i think the buying will pick up again.

Most of the cars coming to Northern Europe is regular, normal driver cars. A few low mileage cars and so, but it is far far between LS6s, COPO's, Yenko's, L88s, Hemi's and so.

In Norway, there is quite a big scene on the Mustangs, so there is actually coming in quite a few Shelby's, Boss and so on.

But my point is, for the rarest of them all, i wouldnt worry, the market outside USA is there, but with few, and if they go somewhere, you can always send it back, the market is international, and your cars appeal to people from all around the world.

I have personally brought quite a few cars over here, and have gotten to know quite a few good people here, and there. Which is the fun part.

Nils

They have been shipping cars overseas for years as far as I can remember.

Australia has been strong in corvettes and muscle cars the last couple of years.

A few years back, the Germans were here buying all the older Harleys they could find. I refused to sell any bikes or parts to them. Looking back now, maybe I was the only fool. The guys that sold out to them got real good money for their stuff. I was stubborn. I didn't want to see all of our old iron gone forever.
