David, yes a down under car would most likely to have been converted to RHD.

Most I`ve seen advertised in Australia have been left hand drive.

You probably have to ask Shaun...I think he had to have his car converted to RHD..or maybe that was the member from New Zealand.

Be Wary

be wary of this one , i have contacted the seller on numerous occasions to get basic info of which he never replies. CLONE for sure

now to the other questions.

Laws vary from state to state , but most of them these days have seen the light and you dont have to perform the conversion on cars older than 15yrs.

which is great news for owners .

Conversion is relatively easy though but costly, they usually use components from Australian falcons of the same era. But if not done right can look like a chop job!!

the only issue for me driving a LHD car is Passing on a single lane road without a passenger for guidance.
That's why I invested in some extra cubes to ensure i could move quickly.

but driving on the opposite side of the road NOW that's were the fun begins , especially out of service stations , parking lots etc .

Many times I have jumped median strips in the US !!!!!!!!!!
