If it has the original engine, around 100K doesn't seem totally crazy... Did Canadian 914's have ROW badging and lights??? I figured they were like USA cars except for the speedometer- maybe not? Maybe this will make it on one of their TV shows... |

Yeh thats gonna get expensive, reeal expensive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) But whenever a car becomes more expensive then a 993 Id buy the 993 instead |

I'm pretty sure that in 1970, the Canadian cars were essentially the same as US cars, including the speedometer.
To my eyes, all of the obvious details are not US market - lights, rear fog light, no side markers, metric speedo. Given the expense of a resto like this, it would be crazy to not do it 100% as factory. So I suspect this was not originally delivered in North America. Nice example. I'd be reluctant to drive it much, but I'd want to drive it all the time. |

Side marker lights should be present for a US car. Nevertheless, a beautiful restoration if the mechanicals are as nice as the body!

Any duties or taxes to bring it south could be staggering. With a real, legit bill of sale for WA one would be pushing $120k. Not to include covered transport or border fees. Once one had the car, what would you do with it? Sit in it and dust it off? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Awesome restoration. Appears to have 1971 interior vinyl. Shiny 'elephant hyde' |

How much is duty and taxes on a car brought down from Canada and is it a hassle?
I bought a car (70 Challenger Conv.) from a guy from Canada and in part trade I sold him a ski boat. It was a huge hassle getting that boat up to Canada for him. He towed it from LA up there. I got a number of calls from the Customs people in Canada wanting proof of the sale. Bob B |

How much is duty and taxes on a car brought down from Canada and is it a hassle? I bought a car in Canada recently. I found out if it's older than 25 years (which this is) you just pay duty on it. I think it's 3%??? I forget but for what I spent, it wasn't much. Now, as an FYI, if the car is younger than 25 years, you need a letter from the manufacturer that it complies with DOT specs. Most Canadian cars do as they're a NA model. Mine had KM speedo but the DOT deemed that was a minor labeling issue so off I went. |

It has recently taken me 3 visits to a DOL office (chose a different office on the third one) and additional after sale paperwork from the seller just to import a 43 year old 914 across the OR/WA border. Of course, I live in an RTA/ST3 zone. |

With all the nice paint everywhere else, you'd think they could have repainted the air filter housing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Without seeing the COA, it could be possible that this 914 was not originally a canadian car, hence the "euro" lights, lack of side markers, rear badging etc.I prefer my 914s with a bit more patina though...

The 914-6s were not officially sold in Canada so technically, there is no Canadian spec 914-6. The 914-4s were not sold in Canada until 1972.
