Sightings 2, the not a datsun but... Thread

[Ooph!]

I went to a local brewery in Rocklin, Ca a week or two ago and saw these in the parking lot.

The brewery is in a center that is mostly auto repair related, it makes for a quiet area after 5:30

     Interesting to see them there,as they can't be legally registered

in California.Must have been bought by someone to flip to an out-

of-state buyer.

      Here in Virginia,you see these time to time as their are quite a few

dealers that sell them.Duncan Imports is probably the best known one.

Just never able to grab a pic of it.

Not smog legal?

If they were for a flip they look to have been sitting a long time

         That and the fact that every other state allows you to import vehicles

25 years or older,bit not California.

        There are ways around that,such as paying a company lots of $$$'s

to make it comply.

I've seen both of those around. Isn't that fire truck the one that sold on BaT about a year ago?

Grey market vehicles are  a hard no at CA DMV. I have a grey market HJ60 that I was able to register only because it had previously been registered in CA. My reg guy said it would not have been possible without the previous CA reg.

Another Aerostar…..haven’t seen one of these in 20yrs and now the maroon one a few pages back or so and this green one.

Wouldn't you be able to register them out of state like South Dakota then register them in California?

You can, but it's not cheap. And if you plan on reselling a grey market 4x4, the value doubles with a CA title.

I also think I should report this to the society for the prevention of cruelty to teddy bears.
