Dodge also made a Durango type Ram a few years ago in Mexico. It was their full size SUV based off the Ram instead of the Dakota. It looked cool, but you couldn't get it here...just in Mexico.

As for the Corvette line, I don't believe the were built in Canada, but we have a lot of them out there. Finding clean rust free parts is another issue. The southern cars rule in this area!!

Did you post a 'Frame needed' post in the C3 parts section? You'll likely find a frame very close to you. I can do a parts search for you on a network I have access to if you send me your zip code. I may be able to find you a cheap rust free frame close to you. Just PM me the info.

That's still like $600 in freight from Texas to that far north. Maybe less if they don't pallet it, and just thow it in a truck.

What mods are involved with using a later C3 frame on an early C3? I wouldn't think there would be too much to change.
