Post by RSCamaroExcuse me, did you sssaaayyy 180% like as in 1.8 times the cost of the
car? Goodness I hope not, and if it is true then I feel for you. In
my part of N.Y. State the taxes are around 7.25% and soon to go up to
8.25% on all taxable items.

Yups... compared to our 2 neighbour countries Sweden and Germany we pay 3x
the price for a new car and 4x for a used one :(
Its pretty tough when your a car lover... and damn hard to be in love with
US cars here that are even more insanely priced :( The cool thing about it
is that you have something really unique even with a 76 Camaro :)
Biggest problem on theese parts and especially for a rookie like me is to
find parts and get help :(

Shipping to Europe isn't that bad, I do it all the time. I just sent a book to
Japan and it was $9.65 and it got there in less than a week :). I shipped stuff
to Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Poland and many European countries and it was all
pretty reasonable in time frame and cost given the situation. (This was through
the US Postal Service).
I'm sending something to Australia this weekend, we'll see. LOL

I think you mean "leatherette" seat covers. They are probably a heavier grain
vinyl on your car, similar to what's in my 1980 Trans Am. PUI is the company
that makes for most of these restoration houses, www.puiinteriors.com
Contact them and ask what's the best/cheapest way to find a distributor in your
country/continent. They MAY know.
As for other parts and what not, you might want to buy some parts books (76-81
Chevy parts book #10 and #10A is what you need), and a GM shop manual for this
car. Best bet is a used one from Ebay.
Again I ship to Europe all the time. It's nice to meet people from around the
world and see they share the like for US iron over there.
