Title: original titles
Post by: fireZ on November 15, 2010, 08:25:30 PM
I have a 68 camaro that was brought up from the states into Canada 7 years ago.I found out the fellow that brought the car into Canada did not have all the export paperwork done. I have the car in my name but the problem is the original title was never with the car just a photocopy. Customs says without the original title from 1968 the export papers cannot be processed. Any thoughts.

If you have, or can get the contact info from the seller before it went to Canada, I would start there.  If they do not have the original title, they may be able to get a duplicate from their state DMV.  If you do not have thatinfo,  you may be able to request an official title directly from the state DMV based on the photocopy. Each state DMV does business differently, but that would be a starting point. Sometimes a polite call (or several) to the DMV may lead you the a solution.

Thanks for the idea. The car was from California so I will try that first. Border office seems to be no help at this point.Apparantly the car is fine to drive in Canada but I could not take it across the border or sell it to an american .

I've bought several cars from Canada, and all U.S. Customs needed was the signed Canadian Registration and a signed Bill Of Sale with the price on it. As long as the car was built in the U.S. and over 25 years old, there are no other requirements.
