Re: Travel (lot)

[jim <jimfmd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 63 came about by accident.
I wanted to buy a 1960 Lincoln from Canada, but it was just too much mucking 
around, whether i sent it to Vancouver or Long Beach(USA), so i let that car 
go.
I still want to buy a 1960 Lincoln, but will wait till there is 1 closer to 
California.
So the fellow that was going to ship the Lincoln over if i had purchased it, 
sent me some pics of the 63 Polara, and said it had just arrived into 
Australia and was i interested?
I said i would give it a miss, as i wanted a 1960 Lincoln.
Anyway, after a few weeks, looking at the pics (daily) of the Polara, i 
thought "why not"
So he shipped it by truck down to my house.
My polara was only in Australia for about 6 weeks sitting in a shed till i 
purchased it.
And from what i can work out, it has not been registered since 1973 and sat 
in a very "unsealed shed" since then (so im told).

I think shipping time from Long Beach CA to Sydney Australia is about 6 
weeks, but i dont know if that is direct or stopping at other ports on the 
way down under?

I still am on the lookout for a 1960 Lincoln if any body knows of one for 
sale?
