The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Sold My 1965 C10 To A Guy In New Zealand

I shipped a 2003 Sierra Z71 over there a few years back. My wife is from there and we used to go several times a year, but now just once a year. 30 hours one way travel in airports is getting rough! I didn't need it (the truck) and her Dad had a big farm, it cost me about 7500 US to get it there. He has died now and I am trying to sell it which is another whole story. You don't need to care about this but the purchaser will. It may be different for older trucks (utes as they call pickups) but there is a copious inspection upon arrival for them to what they call VTNZ it. They affix a sticker to the windshield and in order to operate it you better have one or the penalties are severe. My truck took about 90 days to go through the process if I remember correctly. I hope you got a good price for it as it was beautiful and you put a lot of hard work into it. He paid you 1.35 New Zealand for every US dollar he paid. That being said a home in Auckland increases 800 dollars per day in value. It is crazy land there now in the way of economy. a 1300 sq. foot home is approaching a half a million dollars in Auckland.
