importing a 77 NYB

["alan__harper@xxxxxxxxx" <alan__harper@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need some advice regarding buying and importing a 77 NYB.  I saw it for sale 
on the internet.  It has all the features I want.

I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  That's at the east end of Lake Ontario, 
at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River.  The car is in Phoenix, AZ, USA.

What is the best way for me to verify the condition of this car?  I plan to 
call the owner in a couple of hours.  He's in a different time zone.  Must I go 
all that way to view it or is there some way to get a good idea of condition 
without making that long trip?

If I decide to purchase, what is the best way to get the car here?  Must I go 
get it in person, or can I get it shipped?  What are the costs involved and 
what pitfalls should I avoid?

What about renting a trailer and picking it up?  Is that feasible?

If I take public transit, so I can drive it back, what should I do in advance 
to have it plated and insured for the trip back?

What kind of fees can I expect from Canada Customs?  Surely, some readers are 
Canadian and have done this.  I'll call Canada Customs, for sure, but if you 
have done it, let me know what the procedure is.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Is anybody on the list in Phoenix?
