I am having great difficulty finding a 2017 453 manual with options in America. I was wondering if anyone ever bought overseas and imported and if so, what was the process and cost? Did modifications need to be made for emissions?

Many mods required render this MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - unless you have DEEP, VERY DEEP pocket$…

Ok- good to know. I mean, if it is like 5k, not a huge deal and may be worth it. If like 10k, nah.

Here’s 4 manual transmission one. US spec. For the extra $5k, Just add your the options you want.

Looks like I will just keep looking for one that already has the factory options. If I can find a 2017 manual, I would add the stuff I want. I have yet to find a 2017 manual—I have only seen one.

what if I buy new from factory? Couldn’t they make to US specs?

The question remains, did they even make manual coupe in 2017 and if so, how many? I have literally seen one.

Thanks- I think a unicorn would be easier to locate.

Makes sense- I will see what is available in Canada.

Well- this all sounds too complicated and not worth it. I will just keep looking in the States. Thank you to all that replied.
