Of course I agree with you.
The advice was for a last resort of not being able to register here in the US; if there already is a title and conversion docs, it’s a non-issue. I owned a grey market car and they were hit and miss on conversion quality and history of the car.
YMMV

Sure I’m biased as I own a 81 930. But imo this is just regurgitating the BS that was started by car dealers back in the day in order to sell the customer a readily available US 911. I’m not saying there aren’t federally regulated cars out there that haven’t been butchered but the dozens I’ve seen haven’t been.
ROW cars have many advantages over the US models. Just to highlight a few,
there were only 848 examples made in 81. Not sure about 82 but I think the numbers are close. They were also usually specked much better imo.
For example, mine has no sunroof and the interior has cloth inserts on the seats.
Also, you get the correct Euro ride height as well as much better HP due the uncorked exhaust and lack of power robbing emission equipment.
I would gladly pay more for a ROW 911/930 than a similar US model for these reasons.
As to the OPs question, I can’t be much help. I would be happy to share pics of fed tags or anything else may help. Interestingly, my car also came through Houston. |
