Gris - Just brought in a car from Canada 6 months ago. A real pain in the neck. Customs; import duties; emissions; and of course the trucking expenses. FWIW.
Total cost?Quote:

I did it and it wasn't that difficult. I paid a broker between $300-400 to handle the paperwork and he made sure it got over the border (montanna in my case). Duties were approximately 3% of the delcared value of the vehicle. You don't have to be concerned with Federal emmissions as the car is exempt. Shipping was either the same or perhpas marginally more than shipping a car point to point in the States. If you need a reference of a broker who deals between Canada and U.S. PM me and I can pass you the borker/shipper I used.
Frank - I think it was somewhere between $1,000-$2,000. The car I brought was rare, and I wanted it, so I paid the piper.
A mid 70's car, covered carrier, from Windsor to the Twincities MN in December, door to door, north of $2500 for EVERYTHING. TFX Intl. There were cheaper optionss, but I did not want to have any problems.

I'll be putting together some pictures, but for anyone interested now, PM me, please.
Anyone familiar with this process or is it just BS?
Cams, rocker arms, rocker pins have been Cryogenically processed, essentially ensuring endless part integrity without wear damage or fatigue. This procedure brings the material to [minus]300-350 Degrees for at least 25 hours then slowly raises the temperature to normal over a period of 12 hours. This process organizes the molecules of each individual piece of metal giving it an extremely extended life - almost without wear.
