So I'm moving soon and hopeful that I can take my car with me to the States. Does anyone know how easy that is going to be, or would it even be worth it? As long as I'm not straight out bleeding money, this is something I'd really like to do. I've been looking at shipping companies and what they can do for my specific situation and I found https://www.wcshipping.com/us-car-import

Has anyone used this company before, or can offer any others they can recommend? I still have some time, so hoping to make a decision in the near future. I think I will struggle to find a similar car and start working on it from the ground up, so biased towards getting it moved over. But anyways, let me know if it sounds like a good idea and why or why not. Please and thank you!

definitely going to be easier than going the other direction... but I can't help but think how expensive it would be... I don't know if anybody has even done it with a falcon. :idunno:

 

good luck, either way. :icon_ford:

I have never done it to be honest. I am not sure I can help, but I can say this. on some of the Motor trend episodes last year for Drag week, there were a couple of Aussies that were on the channel for a couple of minutes talking about how they got their car and trailer there.

surely they would have gone through the same process.

It would be a pain in the arse being right hand drive over there though ...   One thing though is at least your gear lever will be in the "right" spot :nod:     Farrkn always have trouble working out where to put my left hand driving in the States - just feels unnatural using your right hand to move the shifter.  Guess that's why barely anyone drives stick over there :roflmbo: 

 

Anyways - you should turn quite a few heads I'd say :thumbsup:
