For the ocean freight, you mean everythin included for 2180$ ? Because the last quote I have is 1290$ from LA to le Havre. +550€ of harbour fees.
Wow, 3k just for transport. Living state side has it's benefits. I hope these transports work out for both of you.
1978 NYB's too.......LOL!
For me it is just an empty shell to restore my 300 ! ;)
I'm not trying to steal this thread, but....
I started writing a little update the other day, but my browser froze when I tried to ad a pic of the container ship and it's position, so I did a screen dump of what I had already written..

This comes a little late, sorry. But you should have send it to Rotterdam, much lower taxes and all this. Choosing the netherlands saved me at least 1k€.
But what counts is, that it is on its way to europe! You have to make a roadtrip to the Mopar Nationals next year to show off your beauty!
Good point with the long drive, but me personally, I would try it anyway because my ADAC (like AAA) membership includes the car return in case of a breakdown. ;)
In the netherlands, you don't have to pay customs fees and just 6% import taxes. In Germany you have to pay 10% customs fees and 19% import taxes. If you can read german texts, I can send you the page from my shipping contract with all the information about import and fees.
I'm not trying to steal this thread, but can't resist asking: So you bought a body - was it a rolling shell (on it's own wheels that is) and if so, did you get it already? Did the transport companies manage to keep it intact? No bent sheet metal and/or bent/dented bumpers?
That's interesting.. Here in DK (Each year, in the top three most tax plagued countries on the planet), we only pay 5%, and the customs fees were so reasonable, that I actually forgot how much it was. However, the REGISTRATION TAX.. is bad bad bad here. I'll probably have to pay in the neighborhood of 40.000 DKK for the Imp (6000 USD / 5333 EUR). I read German better than I write it, but do not understand all.. Could be interesting to see the Dutch papers though.. if cheaper through here, I will gladly help others who consider importing.
I forgot to comment on the German Mopar Nationals.. I am going very much next year, and looking forward to meet you, Carsten and all the other good "Mopar leute" !
I still feel robbed from my US road trip.. :-( Among many other things, I was looking forward to testing the myth, about "things happening in Vegas", and see if they'd "stay there".. :-D
Nice car....us Europeans don't mess around you know...you have great cars, we want great cars..easy, just pay up, ship and enjoy!!! Ive always said that the boys Stateside have it way too easy. I wish we had barns full of C bodies just a couple of hours away etc. I could easily become a barge hoarder!!! .....cheers Steve
I don't have dutch papers, because the car was only imported in the netherlands, but was ment to be delivered to germany. I "only" payed aprox. 2k€ to get my imp to my garage.
I hope we met at the nationals next year! Would be great!
You know, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.... except herpes, this **** stays forever ;)
