I have noticed that a lot of our older collector cars are being sold to countries outside of N. America, quite a bit lately. I am not a "finance guy" but is it because of our weak dollar or? It looks like they are bringing strong money for them too.

We have had a lot of cars coming in to New Zealand from the US over the last few years but that has slowed down a lot recently mainly because of the economy and our lousy exchange rate. One US dollar costs us about $1.80 NZ and by the time taxes etc are added a $40K (US) car can cost us about $85K NZ dollars.
We have a very strong American car and muscle car culture down here and the cars are very well looked after.
We have one of our biggest shows of the year this coming weekend.
It is the Kumeu Classic Car and Hot Rod festival, about 50-60,000 visitors are expected over the two days.
