Hello from Australia

[ozziemoparnut]

Hi All,

new to the site well have been lurking around for sometime but finally decided to sign up 

Love my Chargers mad on 68 models still trying to purchase a decent example as they are few and far between over here and the ones that are here are either over priced or not worth paying good $$$ for 

If I have posted this in the wrong area I am sure the mods will sort it otherwise just wanted to say G'day

 hello 

[charger Downunder]

Hi keep looking my cousin sold his 68 rt last year for $75,000.
You may be best to import one.

welcome to the site!!!!

[triple_green]

What are you looking for? A fininshed "stock restoration", or one to modify or "Hot Rod", or a "fixer upper". Price can vary wildly depending on how much work is already done. What motor, trans, etc.

Good Luck

Welcome to the forum 

I just sold my 68 that will arrive in Sydney from NZ.

[mauve66]

i know you said 68 but their is a guy on www.66-67charger.com that just got a 66-67 sent over to the land down under, might look him up and let him tell you the things he went through with shipping and inspections, seems like they are pretty harsh out there on old vehicles, oh yeah, welcome also

The shipping does add some cost app 2.5k usd so its not that bad, I gotta say I love the 69's as well and one would be easier for me to purchase over here than a 68 and I may go to one if I cannot get what I want in a 68

Hi there, Honestly I want to build 2 (not greedy or anything) a factory exact and a modified one with pro tourer style suspension (like XV or Magnum) customised interior and a balls out 528 Alloy Hemi, 727 & Dana but she has gotta look stock on the outside we call them sleepers over here 

I will start with the customised one as I have friends that can assist with the fab work etc so what I really need is a good straight driveable car with no major rust in the body and a good trunk lid & complete good cond grille, I am not to stressed about factory options & drivetrains as most of it will be removed anyway but I want a good sound car to start with as i want to drive the beast and appreciate it for what it is before I go and modify it

start with hemi6pack.com and ask for advice there,there is a few guys that have imported already and used valuers reporter and importsers to get the car in.The valuers are a must as they detail the condition of the car with as many as 100 pictures and basically say yes or no.

welcome aboard you sure you don't want a 70 go on you know you want to.

cheers

Was pretty easy for me being the seller. I just made sure the paperwork was in order and the car was transported to the shippers. The buyer arranged the shipping and the rest. Car only takes 3 days on the water. Good luck!

Mate, onlt that it's an incredibly long hike for you, I'd say you should get yourself to Chrysler On The Murray. 14th and 15th March. Albury/Wodonga. They usually get around 500 Mopars and heaps of American stuff.

I'll be taking my Bee along.

Thanks for the link that is a decent looking car probably one of the better examples I have seen for sale over here but I thinks its too good for my customised plans  I couldn't kill such a nice example

     Hello Ozzie and others. I have a 69 I drive once in awhile. I just did kinda the opposite. I just bought a daily driver, a 2009 Holden Commodore SSV. We know the car as the Pontiac G8. I called JHP Performance Enhancements and had all the emblems shipped to convert it back to the Holden. I have the Bonnet and fascia en route next. Then its back to Mopars. I do love Mopars and hope to see you add a couple to the site here. Good luck with your find.

Hi Jerry

Funny that you you are turning it into a Holden some people do the opposite over here and order the G8 parts to change the Holden to a Pontiac or put Chevy badges on them due to the engines, if you are after cheap genuine Holden parts check these guys out: http://www.holmart.com.au/ they have some great deals on HSV/Holden parts 

[deputycrawford]

Thanks Ozzie. I will look at the web site. I am almost complete. I just need the bonnet and fascia. My car is black on black. I really like this car.
