RHD Yanks (Classics)

[ttoli]

Looking for my 1st Yank,they've just banned new imports of LHD over here, have seen afew marked up as Canadian Market, are these real or chain conversion?

Canada drives on the right side of the road and have since the 1920's, so all U.S. cars imported (or made in) to Canada from the U.S. are LHD, I'm not sure why you would be seeing RHD Yank tanks advertised in Canada unless the are retired Postal vehicles or have been imported to Canada from overseas.


Edited to add, How are things in Cyprus? My former college roomate is from Limassol.

Canada didn't start driving on the correct side intill the early 40's, so there are nice classic american cars built at the factory in RHD intill than. You can always import a car from Oz as they make RHD conversion for their own country, and the conversions I have seen were of very good quality.

I've owned a few RHD yanks over the years, all Fords: '58 Fairlane 500 Town Sedan with 352 V8, '69 Mustang Convertible with 351 V8 and '82 Mustang with a 3.3 Six. All high spec, originally sold new in the UK. I believe they also sold them in Australia & S Africa. All had the steering box on the correct side.

I had a RHD Rambler Rebel stationwagon a few years ago.
Have a LHD Mercury Sable ( Canadian spec) which has been a fantastic workhorse. 3 litre V6 22o hp
