http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gifdoes anyone know an easy way to get a vintage 1960's car into the states from Canada I heard it a hassle and I also heard its easy some say you can have them send you the title and then title it and get plates in the states then go there and just drive it across or you can put a vintage plate on it and tow it across but the problem is it has a different name its a Arcadian like a chevelle so they will know its a Canadian built vehicle I really don't want to deal with red tape paying someone off at the border or wasting mouths to get all the export papers in order its not a $100,000 car its in British Colombia Canada if someone has done this or can help me do this please email me here or at [email protected] or you can call me at 815-467-6353 thank you randy

Its easy,call UPS Broker Services,provide them with a bill of sale and info on the buyer,they will need the buyers SS number. They (orany other broker) will handle the paperwork. Cost is less tha $100.00. On the day you are planning to bring the car accross (you or the buyer) notify them at what crossing you are using and they will have all the documents ready. 99% of the time it goes smoothly unless you encounter some asshO%e US customs agent who wants to play Bufford T Justice for the day. If they suspect you are bringing the car accross to sell they will make your life miserable. The car must be presold Hence the need for the SS number. They may at their discretion (as usual) call the buyer to confirm they are for real. I had the latter happen. The buyer a former marine went up and down the customs officer for doubting my integrity and his.
