GM wont let you legally import a Toyota Cav. I know someone who is trying very hard to get one and they get as far as GM before getting denied. Legally.

Anyone know of a link or way to get hold of him? It is authentic right? I don't care the time and cost I will own one. Worse case scenario I will have it broke down into parts and shipped to my shop to reassemble LOL

Its not GM that won't let you import one, its the US government. GM doesn't care if you import it. But the government will chop or crush it as soon as it gets off the boat.

I was told that you need a letter of permission(or something like it) from GM and they wont do it.

Why is this? And how did the other guy get one?
It's all has to do with the DOT standards for US cars, if I remember correctly The Hated One had to deal with getting the TRD Toyota Cav DOT approved which is not only a PITA but not cheap. He may have a way to get another one in, but you're looking at 9,000-10,000 and that is for like a 97 or 98.
well i have about 15,000 saved up for one so thats fine with me I want it I will have it LOL

Ok I found him ya dont want that one. Its not my taste or style. But I will contact him and see if he would be will to work with me to help me get one.

Good luck you can't bring them over, LEGALLY anyway.
There are other means but I will leave that to you to figure out and decided if it's worth the effort.
I have worked with literally dozens of importers, and streetline over several months to try and get one brought over. You just can't have them here in the US.
I've spoken with GM, the NHTSA, EPA, and others the car will never be allowed.
Your only means of getting one would be supplying one to the NHTSA for safety testing, you would have to fund the testing, and the car tested would be put through a crash test thus making it unusable anyway. Of course there is much more to it then that but overall not worth the effort. In the end your 15K wont do you a damn bit of good.
I would suggest making a friend in Japan or one of the other countries the cars are floating around in, and having them send you the parts you need to convert to rhd.
Sorry if I burst your bubble but I figured I would save you the stress, hassle, time, and aggravation that I experienced in attempting this.

For a cavalier?
Wow, I know they are cool, but not $15,000 cool. I would buy something worth $15,000 imo.
OK well thanks gain I will work on something and figure something out some day lol. I know I would like one well sorry a real one anyways even if it means waiting till street line decides to get rid of his. Thanks alot guys for all the help and 2 cents

Last street line said the black one is for sale. But he wanted $20,000
WOW havent been on this site in same time and come back to this. Nice to see that the Toyota Cavalier is still talked about. Ok for your questions about my TRD and Importing.
1. My REAL TRD Toyota Cavalier is NOT FOR SELL!
2. There was only 50 made of the TRD and this one here is # 17
3. You cant import anything right now, the US Customs is cracking down on everyone. Its not the DOT or the EPA its the US Customs.
4. you can bring anything in legal or illegal you just need to know how or who to go to. Once the vechile is here you can make it legal like i did with the TRD
5. Back to answer 3 right now they are using Home Land and I.C.E. to stop importing cars right now. Why who knows the US GOV. is so broke there trying to make money anywhere.
6. The cost of a Toyota Cavalier is no where 20,000 or 15,000 last one I got in for a person was 8,000 shipped to there door with all taxes.
7. you can get hold of me at info@street-line.net or 321-377-2769 (but be ready to not hear good news about the importing at this TIME)
8. Im working right now on a new contact in Japan that can get us anything we want mostly the new front clips for the skylines.
9. And your all right its not worth 15,000 for a Toyota Cavalier i have NEVER sold any of them over 9,000, only the TRD would be more due to how RARE and LIMITED it is.
Hope this clears up some questions and after all these years some of you are still way off on this topic but its ok where all here to learn. If you have any other questions just posted them or contact me. Also for those that have been tring to get hold of me sorry some fun things have been going on here and i just havent gotten time to call back (sorry for that and i will call)

Steve already said that he is between suppliers. I can only assume that is why Streetline is down. I have contacted a few of the suppliers of skyline and silvia clips that we use at work and they wont do a toyota cav front. I even tried some of my UK suppliers I've used to RHD swap a couple VWs... No luck.
