Buying a 71 Dart

pdcs said

I'm looking at buying a 1971 Dart from the USA. I was told by the license office here in Ontario that when the car arrives here in Canada, Canadian Tire will need to do an Inspection on it so I can get an ownership for the car.

Is this information I've been told correct, I asked the lady at the license office is that a safety inspection as well??.... She wasn't sure.


Thank You!

I'm not sure if Ontario is exactly the same as Alberta, but the inspection can be done by anyone who is licensed to do out of province inspections and it includes the safety inspection.
I would check that out first and talk to them, the Canadian Tire here is extremely sticky and they expect the car to be as new or close to it.
Out of country is the same as out of province or like a old field find with no history, just make sure you have as much paperwork for the car that you can get to prove where it came from. They do verify the V.I.N. at the inspection of course.
It shouldn't be too bad.
