Flipping Classic Cars

[Frosty]

a guy I work with has flown to the states to buy a mustang. He is then packing it in a container and shipping it straight to Indonesia to have the panel work done.

I have considered this myself and would like to know more, especially the final results. So where is it going to and do you know approx work costs,time expected to take etc?

He is in the states now frosty. He already has an Elanor and the guy who built that for him is organizing the body work but I will find out.
Good thought though living on a tropical beach doing cars for cash, paying little to no overheads in the Philippines or Thailand

Funny you mentioned Elenor. There is a series called "Rides" it's a yank show, anyway they did a story on a company in Texas who build these Elenor copy's. Can't remember the name I'll look it up and let you know. Anyway they looked real good in the series, until you Google their name. Crikey!! Dodgy!! Not the word for it.
Unique performance, that was them. Look it up, interesting read.

unique performance. The guy is Doug Hasty
They built one car for Paul Snr from OCC. They then built I think 3 cars that they took to shows etc getting orders and deposits.
All the time they were buying every 67 mustang they could, driving the price through the roof.
They then cut and shut, changed car vins, ids, title washing ( what they got charged with) etc.
Never delivered any cars or paid bills etc so down they went.

Now you got me thinking. There's a real business opportunity and I could wear thongs to work. Bali I think

The repair rate must be cheap when you think shipping alone would be about $5000.
Got me thinking too frosty nice spot near a good surf break, close to a fridge. Hmmmm got a few blokes I work with living in Bali might get some ideas on cost

Is the problem that now everyone is out to make a million rather than a living?
