Daniel,
Are you talking about a complete car, or just the engine?
I live approximately 90 miles south of the Canadian border.
Most of the car dealerships are flooded with Canadian cars and trucks.
They just drive them around for awhile and sell the to U.S. dealerships as
used. The exchange rate is favorable to Americans right now.
If you need me to. I have a friend who is a dealer in Creston, BC.
I can give him a call and find out how they ship them across.
Let me know!
Mike
Hayden Lake, Idaho
P.S. If it's running, I bet you would like me to drive it down!
It's a great trip in a roadster.
