Another Skyline seized by US Customs

Just thought I'd post the link to the US Customs (LA) seized goods auction that has a Skyline (for export only) on it. (Page ends 10 June) Just another one to add to the list of many I've seen seized.

http://www.ustreas.gov/auctions/customs/la.html

Maybe one of these days people will realize that you can't just ship them here and drive off. But I know list of seized Skylines will just keep rising.

Hey GTES-t. You got a gallery with pictures of your car? I'd like to see how that rear end turned out.

Here's a couple of pics of the rear, I don't have a site with pics yet, one of my future plans I've never gotten around to yet. I realized when I was looking for pics that I don't have any good ones, so I'll have to get around to that also.

Anyways, the car's pretty dirty in both and the second is the first snow it's ever seen while I've owned it.

not bad at all, I think that panel looks a little funny where it meets the bumper but still... it looks pretty good. And those rims look GREAT.

I wonder why it was pulled from the sale....I wish I had known about it---is there any way to stay up to date on what US Customs has seized and when it goes on sale?

Re: Another Skyline seized by US Customs

The last R33 for auction from customs was pulled from auction--don't know why or who got it. Wonder if this was the one delivered to Automobile Concepts....
