[DeTomaso] Exporting Cars

[Ian Hannington]

That was my thought too.  I don't have a Motor # Plate and there is no #
stamped on the block, so what's to stop me from buying the plate from a
vendor and stamping both the same? It's not like they can check the records
of De Tomaso.

I suppose there is always the risk that the Chilean government does not
allow it in the country.  Then I'd be stuck having to get it back here and
pay for all the expenses to get it there and back plus fees, plus taxes
plus........... That would suck!  I may run it by the buyer and see what he
thinks anyway.

I have never heard this before.

I'm looking at your registry entry right now, and I don't even see an id
plate wearing the block number.   (Your foot box plate does not show, nor
does the block number plate that is usually in the engine bay, on the left
side.)

So..... Just how would the Chilean authorities even know?

While the registry used to have a car registered in Chile, I think it
moved... otherwise the owner would be a good 2nd opinion.

I have been trying to sell my car to a person who lives in Chile.  We got to
the point where he was about to transfer the money, but he wanted to check
with his government to make sure he had everything covered.  Anyway, now he
tells me that they will not allow him to import the car because the engine
is not original and therefore the numbers don't match.  Anyone ever come
across this when selling a car overseas?

 

Thanks,

Ian
