      Very cool that you're bringing them over!! Where will you store the blue one until the time comes?

          Thanks guys! Right now im working on my 325e. So ill probably put a build thread up once its done, but it isnt anything fancy. Right now im just painting it and giving it a real good cleaning and leaving the 2.7L in it for gas saving purposes.

            this would be a very bad idea, I had about 6000 dollars worth of classic 55 Chevy parts stolen from the trunk on my BelAir when I shipped it over here.

            BTW, are they both RHD? did the Air Force really ship the car, I thought they only ship U.S. spec cars and no classics (over 25y)

            make sure to replace that terrible looking muffler ASAP on that red car!

              They are both RHD and the USAF is only paying for the red one, Im paying for the blue one. It doesnt matter which spec it is as long as it is over 25 years old, once that old the US doesn't regulate on emissions or safety. Also, in order for me to ship the car and get it through customs it has to be completely empty besides the stock jack, spare, and etc.

              Look at my past threads, red one is now M50 with different exhaust.
