We all salivate over JDM card, or what is only available in Europe. We dream about what we can import here when it hits that magic age. But what would you want to import into Japan or Europe if you could?
Pick one car that isn't available there today, and one that's older than say, 20 years old that you'd want to bring over there.
GO!
I'll chime in later.
hummmmmm. . .. I don't think there is anything that you can not get there from here at any point in time like our government does to us here. Not sure on this. Can you name any?
2.4L Forte's, but I;m not certain I'd salivate over that to import. MAybe a 1990 454SS just because "'Muricuh!" and they ain't never seen none of them there critters over thayr.
The problem is that for the most part the Europeans and Japanese do small cars well and the Americans do big cars well... but big cars in general don't work very well in Europe and Japan. Especially not in towns and cities.
I say Cosworth Vega. Things that say Cosworth on them are cool over there, right?
Dodge Caravan. Seriously, they blow foreigners' minds.
Jeeps.
I would think big, oversized American Iron.
I know that tight European cities can't fathom commuting in a Suburban.
I sense that having a Suburban is like having an assault vehicle.

Because no one in Europe knows anything about the Espace?
Buick Grand National or even better GNX.
Muscle trucks. SVT Lightning. SRT-10 Dodge trucks, especially the first gen manual transmission one. The Silverado SS I suppose but it's kind of lame in that company. Raptor, but that might be more available and even less practical.
Wait, I got it.
Perfect size for Europe with american pushrods.

The problem is the European versions have an absolutely abysmal lack of power. Like, "danger to myself and others" lack of power. Like 0-60 in 15 seconds power. I have a friend in Scotland who loved the Caravan but just couldn't buy it because loaded with a family of 5 it was literally dangerous to get on any main road.
I'm With Adrian. I was thinking 1st gen Viper and GLHS. a wrangler would be good to, get with a Land Rover club and have a blast.
I REALLY like the GNX idea too.
I imagine the French would love the Pacer.
GT40
I'd go drive around Italy.
They probably like some of the larger engine sizes for cars we both get but they get a 1.6 liter while we get a 2.3 liter.
Nothing says "Berk you, I'm an American!" like a 59 Caddy.
F350 King Ranch. Dually.

The GT40's were built in England. Only the final Mk IV road car version were built here. So most GT40 are Euro imports to here. If you mean the 05/06 GT they were built here but sold globally.
Are SRT vehicles sold there?
There are import companies specializing in that sort of thing, much like the ones that spring up here importing JDMYO cars. Officially, I don't think they're sold over there. IIRC one of the few cars available over there other than the odd minivan is the Mustang.
There's a thriving collector car scene for American cars and hot rods from the 50s and 60s, plus of course Corvettes, Vipers and the like.
