Can Classic cars such as 1967-1969 Camaro, 1967-1970 Mustang Fastback and 1970 Dodge Challanger/Cuda be imported to UAE and other Middle East countries? Is there a market for these cars there? Where would I go to find buyers and collectors?

There are very few people who would really pay that much for such rare cars.

There is a good market for these collector cars here. A friend ordered a '68 Camaro SS three months back. Looking for a classic Merc now. I'll spread the word around for you.

there is a good market here but you need to capture the right customers who are willing to shell that much for these gems.
they arent seen much on the road but during car shows or once a bluemoon or national day etc.. all the muscles come out :)

Thanks for the information. I would like to tap into the market for classic cars there. I know more people like exotics there, but i can build these cars to preform like the exotics and have the still have all of the luxeries of the exotics with the style of the classic cars. There are many that I can hand build from ALL NEW pieces and it is a New car with classic style.
