Do mexican cars need papers to get them over the border??

Now that is funny
But they actually do. I have raced in Mexico and I had to have paperwork on my car. I also own a car that was flown back and forth to Central America and Florida to race from 1980 to 1986 . The problem is that a lot of the cars in south and central america have shared VIN's. You needed to have paperwork to go from country to country and it is not uncommon to have two cars sharing the same VIN... even if you have the one with the factory VIN plate on it doesn't mean it was not taken off and put on a another car for travel. I have a friend that has two race cars that share the same VIN . They were bought out of Costa Rica.Those cars raced in Central America but were also flown to the USA to race in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring and other IMSA races.We can tell which car is the factory car and which is the built car but we do not know which one competed at what race as both cars exterior look identical.
In the case with this Camaro that drag raced in Mexico I am sure the VIN is the the correct one as this is a different deal.
One of the Penske Trans Am Javlins that ran at the historics was found in a candle factory wharehouse in Mexico before being brought back to the USA .How it got there , who knows?
