I got to go to Japan while I was in the Navy, shifting with your left hand is easy, I also had to drive a truck that had 5 on the column.
Only difference with Japan Fbodies, they had the cool candy corn tail lights and foldable mirrors. Wonder if the mirrors were factory, or if everyone changed them when they bought their fbody.

Did a search and couldn't find anything...... 
Does anyone know of any F-bodys that have been converted to right hand drive? Any companies that do it or anyone know how?
Theres a heap of RHD Vettes but no f-bodies
Especially with the cars getting cheaper and turning up in Europe/Asia now.

G'day mate,
Unsure where you live but there is plenty of RHD American muscle here in Australia. Our 95 Formula is RHD, converted in the late 90s. It´s a mirror conversion, only a couple things remain original. Check out my pics, she gets plenty of looks and is a blast to drive with the tops off. I know companies here in Oz that convert US cars to RHD, if you want any info, just ask. Cheers

BadGTho, thanks for your interest. It's actually a plastic mould, pretty much the same materials to the original. Some parts don't fit perfectly such as the join areas on top of the dash where the air vents are, but apart from little things like that, its close to a perfect opposite. It takes around 4-weeks to convert one of these cars, and as I said earlier, 99% of things are converted to RHD specification.
Cheers and thanks all for your interest :-)
