thechuckster, you've listed what is required for a normal grey import.
If this car is over 15 years old, or fits into what used to be the 15 year rule, I think, but am not 100% sure, that all you need is the driver's mirror to be flat (not convex) & roadworthy.
Whoever you're buying it off should be able to get you more info though.

assuming it has never been registered in australia i suggest you speak to an engineer. they will give you a better run down on what they want to see. but the above list is generally what you will need.

Check that your tyres are DOT approved, if not chnage them.
As mentioned if your drivers side mirror is convex it will need to be changed to flat.
You may also need to do the unleaded filler but im not sure on this one as my car was diesel when i tokk it over the pits.

wagonist: yeah... i might be jumping the gun there a bit 
i just saw 'Celsior' and assumed it was a near-new yakuza-staff-car thing and guessed it was under 15yrs old.
in that case.. yeah, just a roadworthy - but they will look for legal tyres, filler, mirror etc during the inspection.
