The car wasn't 25 yrs old. So it would have to be bonded and have the bond released once it clears. There was no bond on the car. The only way you don't have to have it bonded is if it's 25 yrs or older.

This is exactly right. There's many ways these cars get into the country and in the end a lot of it has to do with poorly educated and poorly informed government employees who don't know what to look for. They don't know their own rules and laws and end up signing a customs clearance document for these vehicles when they shouldn't. OR the cars come in as parts and people put them back together.

There's the right way to do and then there's completely illegal. There's no grey area or middle ground.

Knuckshaft is correct, not only do I run the Skyline Owners USA community but I also own a company that imports these cars legally.






There's far too many people out there who don't care about the next guy and well tell them anything just to sell them a car that is dirty as hell and subject to being seized. We see it every year in the community, same thing different person.
