At least that was my experience - YMMV.

True dat! A "non-conforming" car even if registered in the US for years, cannot be re-imported. Ask me how I know.........................

Yours is exactly the car I had in mind when I made my post.

Although, if you completely tore it down and shipped it back strictly in bare component form, you would be able to physically get it back over the border legally.

Now why didn't I think of that With all of the crap that we wade through in life, there is always some good attached to it, like meeting new people and making new friends, like Rick and Bill

For all of those thinking of it, do not try to import a titled replica into the US, no matter where it has been before...

Isn't the U.S. import prohibition 25 years on non-compliant cars...? In other words, if the car is 25 years or older, you can import it just fine, no?

That was my understanding. It is also my understanding there was a petition started in 2011 to change the 25 year rule to 15 years (see link below). That would align it with the Canadian 15 year rule, but it seems to have died. I suppose somebody on CC could start another one, should they feel this is an important issue. It sounds like it needs a minimum of 25,000 signatures before it will be reviewed by the White House.
