You can get them legally through Left Hand Utes, if you provide your own GTO/G8/SS/Caprice PPV for them to body swap. Otherwise, the Feds have been known to seize and crush illegally imported cars because no fun allowed. Also, RHD sucks in a LHD country.
>body swap
How do you body swap a unibody?
They swap the body around your original firewall with the US VIN, then USDM LHD parts and US emissions compliant drivetrain get swapped onto the donor body. This makes it still legally considered the original car that was sold here in the first place, and you get your ute or wagon.

Every second one has the wrong wheels on it... What the fricks going on with that?
They're generally made to request, so it's either what the owner wanted, what the car had originally, or what the owner had on hand. They're not making exact replicas of Maloos or other HSVs.
>Also, RHD sucks in a LHD country.
Its not that bad. I have a Celica GT-Four RHD in the states. Only a problem when going through drive thru's and such. But I don't anyway, so doesnt affect me really. Otherwise, driving RHD in a LHD country is perfectly fine.
That's illegal, and exactly how illegal it is depends on what you do exactly and what state you're in.
If you use someone else's license plates that'ss a felony
If you use your own plates from another car, you'll likely be fine until you get pulled over for something else, at which point they run your plates and find them not to match the car. This can be considered driving without license plates, or it could be fraud, depending on how badly they want to frick you. If they think the car is an illegal import they might have the feds seize and crush it.
If paco can drive without a license than why can’t he import a car
Because that's mostly a myth and most of them drive with Mexican lisences which are valid for 90s days after each entry. Most legal Mexicans just go back for a day every 3 months. They can't be fricked over unless feds can prove they drove for more than 90 days with it. If they're an illegal there is zero way to prove which day they entered.
If they’re illegal they should be deporting them regardless of what they were originally stopped for.
Many states give illegals drivers licenses.
>Not allowed to import a car
So much for land of the free. Next you're gonna tell me that lane filtering on a motorcycle is illegal.
you can import the car, but if you want to drive it on public roads then you'll have to get it crash tested
Lane filtering is legal in like half a dozen states.
It used to only be California (surprisingly) but in the last decade or so other states have passed new laws allowing it.
>and slapping on another cars plates
Lmao I love how you morons always default to illegal shit over simply doing it the legal way
Because the legal way takes more time or is near impossible?
>Because the legal way takes more time or is near impossible?
Ah yes
Risking prison time, felony charges, document forgery, physically altering VINs and VIN stamps all over is much easier than just paying an importer to get you a road worthy one or just reading the laws to do it properly yourself
You are Black person brained in both attitude and iq
Yes it is worth it
>I'm going to pay to ship a car halfway around the planet and get it through customs and then just slap a plate on it from abother car....
Not sure if you're 12 years old or a Stoner.
Either way, grow the frick up.
Cope
Cope and seethe israelite
why not? cope
Nothing, just import one older than 25 years and legally transfer your plates over.
>legally transfer your plates over
Is there some limit on plates that you guys have to use? Doesn't registering a "new to the system" vehicle not just generate a new plate?
No limit, it would work just fine either way.
Buy an El Camino
g body is based
no nannies or 6k lbs curb weight
/thread
If I cant get a Holden i would settle for a el camino
Literally nothing will happen (probably) the hardest part is getting it out of the port. Pic is some dude imported a wagon to the US
me. keep your hands off of our fricking cars seppo prick
How do you feel about Canadians
Send our old cars back then you NFA cowards
You can purchase what is known as a flower car. They are used as funeral livery, it's basically the same thing.
Surely there are some 25 year old utes worth importing
Spend all that time and effort just to get your car crushed
You can do whatever you want if you don't get caught
Thats my line of thinking. One perk of living in WV
Get a Fiat Strada instead
Wait 3 years and you can import one of these legally.
Holden 5l tho how's parts supply over there?
Probably better to import a falcon Ute with a windsor
The mighty AU keeps on winning
Kek, I doubt he'll ever get anything like that. Boomers have pushed vintage ute prices to the moon.
