Congrats!
Q-will you be compelled to make it a right-hand drive?
I visited Roger Bell (and his 66 GT-350) in Perth some 40 years back and was marvelled by the regulations and conversion.

Was that the White/Blue 66? (I should know, only 3 in Perth), very well used Shelby and has driven across AU at least 3 times

If it is - from memory - two new 67s came in AU and as part of the deal three 66s were thrown in  - I think at least two of those were ex Hertz. All of them needed to be converted to RHD as that was what was required to get them registered here (thankfully, that rule has long gone for anything over 25yrs old - in some states you can even register a new LHD car, buts that hard to get, needs to be exceptional/rare etc)

Good to see another into AU though - becomes an expensive exercise with our taxes - don't get me started on the luxury car tax, basically a 33% tax on amounts over $US50k that was designed to protect our car industry (and that industry has gone, tax remains)

cheers
