Welcome to my nightmare, Canada has a different rule regarding motor vehicles, anything 15 years or older can be imported no questions. In the states the car has to be 25 years or older or fit some pre-determined criteria (read expensive). I was so frustrated that I ended up building the car I wanted, what's interesting is the engine in my car (green top 4x4) is US emissions legal, it came with cats and an O2 sensor but the car (1992 Sapphire) it came out of is not legal for the states, go figure.
