Title: Importing street cars to the states
Post by unggthat on 05/17/7 at 08:22:39

So I know many of you fellow rally folks have imported/exported cars. I am moving to Ohio in a few months and want to import my two Volvo 240's: a '79 242GT and an '86 240DL. The '86 came from Ohio 4 years ago when I imported it to Ontario. The '79 is a Canadian native. What is the easiest/cheapest/smallest headache way to get these cars imported to the States? Thanks for any advice.

Nate, here is a good place to start:

I had a lot of people wanting my diesel Golf in the U.S., but when they looked at this site their interest cooled off really quick!

Thanks Dave.

So it LOOKS as if both my vehicles are exempt--the '86 is a US spec car meaning nothing needs to be done and the '79 is well over 21 years old, meaning it is exempt. Unless I'm reading something wrong. Hooray! Thanks again,

Nate
