Hot Rods Moving to CO - School me how to register my Coupe??

29 Nash has covered it all for you. As for Boulder...too bad for you...come on over to the Loveland area...we have lots of Hot Rod shops and hot rodders around here. As for Boulder...well you will find out...sorry to say!!

Welcome to the USA and do come to some meets around Loveland!

 

I stand corrected....the Golden cruse is the 1st Sat of the month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lucky for me he is't here yet!

 

Ok Loveland sounds good,
Actually we aren't 100% set on Boulder (In fact my wife has never been....) my company is currently located in Boulder but probably moving to Superior and closer to Denver.

So happy for any recommendations on places to buy houses/move to where I can still get a good sized workshop in with the house (I've just built a 24x24 here just as the workshop!... dohh)

 

A friend of my Dad's owns an engine machine shop in Brighton CO (Engine Rebuilders of Northglenn- Hemi specialists). Pretty spacious out there.

 

Yep. As NoSurf says; Brighton, Johnstown, Ft Lupton, etc. There's just too much real estate within 50 miles of Boulder/Superior to recommend anything. If you're more for semi-rural stay east of I-25(the north-south Inerstate Highway and north of E-470(the green tollroad on the map. You could spend years house-hunting there.

Well loks like its finally happening, after much talk Ive finally got the offer today
Visa in for processing....

Fly out next week to start house hunting for the full move as soon as possible.


YAY!!

 

Congrats...see you at a local rod run...or the Golden cruise...or...???

R-

 

Very cool! Good luck!

Just think how much closer you'll be to the HAMB Drags....

 

Make sure you jet down your carbs!

 

It's going to be more problems than you could ever imagine tons of US Customs paperwork duty fee's etc. etc.

I have helped guys out before on this . The only way to do it is you re-register and ship it freight paid and import fees paid in my name to Port New York, let me know the arrival date and ship name and number and I'll call you when it gets here, honest I will, honest.

 

Welcome to Colorado... Sorry about that Boulder thing....

 

Hey man, if you need a standerd vin verification done cheap (free) PM me. I work at a dealer in Fort Collins (yeah it's a little out of the way) and got no problem helping out another HAMBer. I think they are normaly $25-$50.

 

Cool thanks, its gonna be a steep learning curve with the car registration process...

I looked at taking my car over to the US. Not that hard as long as you dot the 'I's and cross the 'T's. Being there for legitimate reasons the process would be easier as you're not there temporarily as a tourist.

 

FYI .. youre only 7 hours driving ( thru some very pretty country) from bonneville too.
your rod should be easy to register, but the figaro might be really difficult.
The FEDERAL DOT and customs are first. Hopefully you can make it thru them. Since the Figaro was never sold here, there really isnt any way to retrofit the required federal lights etc, as they were never made.

maybe there is a way to have tourist plates or something, as long as its here for a limited time?

In colorado, the state can issue a new VIN for the car. This is what usually happens to gray market cars to get them into the system.

Custom auto, Pinkees all good shops in northern colorado. The guys at custom do a good job.. welded some magnesium for me.

The cruise in golden is definetly worth it!

Welcome to the front range and enjoy the cheap beer!
