Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Not a Ferrari but a Stag

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Britt,
As a 77 it might get in under the 25 year rule in some states which lets 
cars over 25 years old escape the emissions laws.  I believe the safety 
standards must still be met although I seem to recall a one time rule 
allowing someone to import a non-conforming car one in 10 years and it 
doesn't need to meet any regulations.  I'll have to check this out though.

Having said all that, I believe you;re right about demand - and one of the 
best ways to market something like this is Hemmings Market News - basically 
a monthly magazine of 700 pages or so featuring *any* car related thing 
worldwide for sale.  The latest issue has a restored 73 Tr Stag for $15K but 
it has an automatic transmission which probably depresses the price 
somewhat.

You can place an ad and see what response you get - its an internation 
magazine so there may be some buyers local to you interested.

Of course, there's several internet based "For Sale" which I'm sure you know 
about.  Also, the Yahoo webpage will probably have a Triumph Stag group that 
will probably have some enthusiasts looking for Stags.

Good luck!   BTW, I'd like to find a nice Tr GT6 - the poor mans XKE - but 
I'll probably find one locally.
