thanks for input so far
Andy - if I'm taking the Mog anywhere I'd fly it, couldn't bear it being tucked up in a container for weeks, at which point it does get seriously expensive!
So a $20k US chrome monstrosity with a 350cubic inch V8 will do rather nicely I think, and if it's a piece of chrome Americana in itself then that is all part of the dream..
Idea is to buy in California, then sell on the other side, or if possible cheaply (container) ship the car home and sell here where certain cars will make a reasonable premium potentially helping to pay for the trip.
Alternatively, if the car is not too expensive (say under 10k) then I'd consider keeping it long term as I've always had a soft spot for a giant barge
