What Should I Buy? - Gray Market Cars!

We dive into the world of forbidden fruit—cars that were never officially sold in the U.S. but are now hitting our shores thanks to the 25-year import rule. From turbocharged rally monsters to high-revving Asian exotics, these grey market gems have long been the stuff of dreams for American enthusiasts. And now, many of them are finally within reach!

On this episode, we’ll explore the art of the possible, with some special guests! We’re welcoming back Chris Bright, formerly of Collector Part Exchange, along with Jon Summers - The Motoring Historian - and then we’ll round out our fabulous What Should I Buy? panel with veteran members William “Big Money” Ross, Mark “The Data Cruncher” Shank, and the one and only Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine.
