turboT Posted 28May, 2015 Report Share Posted 28May, 2015 The HOTROD guys are a strong lobby group and were lucky to get govt to allow them to build replicas of pre 1950 built cars... Though there is a clear definition of what these are and PORSCHE ain't on the list. How are the hot rods affected that someone like Autohaus is pushing out every year - spyder, rsr, rs4 etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELSPORTO Posted 28May, 2015 Report Share Posted 28May, 2015 Just spoke to the owner. Not sure if he wants to sell or restore. Thinking of 15k but happy to take offers over that (not under). I'm out as I'm not keen on silent auctions, oh and I'd presume no wovr due to age of vehicle Correct no WOVR over 30 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only gripe I can find is that its auto but hey some would have the same gripe if it was manual. A Vicroads VRE check indicates that ZEH 328 is a 2006 Silver BMW coupe. I guess the ad is right, it will come with Standard Vic Plates. They just wont be the ones assigned to the car!! turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Couple years ago I attempted to buy two chamonix built cars. 1 for a mate 1 for me. He bailed and I I thought I'd bring both in sell one and recoup some cost - no way. Parts car import only. From when I was trying to figure how to salvage my ' investment' I was advised that ICV was my only means to register...the only issue were they were already built... Quite a few replicas including 356 that have been from a Rego perspective masquerading as the real deal have subsequently been deregistered. However there are a few road registered 550 and 904 replicas in Oz , but done along time ago before remaining loop holes closed out. The HOTROD guys are a strong lobby group and were lucky to get govt to allow them to build replicas of pre 1950 built cars... Though there is a clear definition of what these are and PORSCHE ain't on the list. I had a beer with a bloke named 'acmed the other week who worked with Graeme building these and his 356 replicas and also when he was into NASCAR in the states told me a few good stories and debunked some of the urban myth that surrounds Graeme McRae. Interesting post. Thanks for posting it. I assumed these would fit into the "done along time ago before remaining loop holes closed out." as they were built in the 1990's. Sounds like other states are a bit more hard core than Queensland in this regard. My car was finished, engineered and registered in 2000 here. I did however, like yourself, try to import built Vintage Speedsters from the US and quickly learned in recent years that was going to happen. In fact the document I read specifically made reference in Porsche replicas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronBayChris Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Spoke to QLD roads, and they flatly denied any reg of the Porsche 550 replica. Its not 30 years old, and does not have a VIN. Even when it gets to 30 years old, we still can't reg here because its not a road going car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Well that sux. I'd always thought that one day I'd have one. My Speedster is registered as a 1964 (the VW floorpan used) Custom Built Special. No VIN is listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 CAl theyve pinged 'rebodied' vw's also.. watch out. .the guy selling the 550 has a white elephant unless you want a cool hill climb special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 What can I watch out for? My car is engineered and has been registered for 15 years. Are they going to retrospectively apply new laws to me? I would seriously doubt it. It's a pretty long way from a "rebodied" VW too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Cal im not suggesting your car will get pinged Just saying that they have deregistered cars that have had prior full registration. While the issues may differ a little state to state, im hearing that getting a 356 replica on a shortened pan or a 550 registered is nigh on impossible these days. ICV is a way to do it...however can also be fraught. if the car is built and or you do not have a build diary and receipts to back up time frmes...computer says no.. No offense intended but authorities can deem a 356 replica a reboded vw For instance I understand there is a 904 replica in oz...with a 911 VIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Why can't a rebodied 60's beetle be registered as a 60's beetle? The VIN of the beetle is recorded, etc but the body (and interior), is actually a Porsche replica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are better than others, but I also understand getting a new one registered now is pretty much impossible. Especially if built overseas. It's pretty silly really. There is a 904 being constructed in Brisbane right now. Perhaps it's to be a track car. Also, Sleeping Beauties here have just finished this.

turboT Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 My fave modern Porsche the Sport Classic Saw one at the Autohaus meet down south last year. A lot of interest around it. Maybe a classic in the making, but a bit fake retro. Had some fun chasing it around the roads near jamberoo. Could have easily taken it (in the 997tt at the time) but it looked like he knew where he was going and the rest of us were impossibly lost.

Niko Posted 29May, 2015 Report Share Posted 29May, 2015 Scoozie for butting in here, Cal, or anyone else, why would they make it a LHD if its being built from scratch and constructed here? (re THE OLDTIMER AUSTRALIA) Not trying to be sarcastic or anything, just wondering what the advantage would be, there obviously is one...I guess..Or is there?
